#248 Finding Growth in Frowns
ByLukasFrowns carry questions. Puzzles. Uncertainty on the edge of understanding.
“I don’t understand – yet.”
Sometimes they also carry dismissal.
“I don’t agree – why?”
Most of all, frowns symbolize a struggle, a moment of dissonance between what we know and what we encounter.
Balancing on the edge of comprehension or dismissively pushing away the unfamiliar…
This is where insights are born.
#416 From now on, I do…
ByLukasToday could be the day you become who you’ve always wanted to be.
All it takes is one small change.
I used to do this.
But from now on, I do that.
#359 Why dreams and memories don’t matter
ByLukasFuture dreams build motivation – and sometimes frustration.
Past achievements build confidence – and sometimes complacency.
Present actions create experiences you could’ve never even imagined, nor remembered.
#33 There’s power in publishing imperfect work.
ByLukas656 days ago, I started writing 3 pages of stream-of-consciousness journaling a day.
That’s an inner dialogue of 1968 pages poured into piles of journals now safely stuffed away.
30 days ago, some of those thoughts started making their way to my blog.
I promised myself that if I made it to 30 daily posts in a row, I would start sharing them.
Today is the day, so here goes.
I’m sharing daily observations about language, language learning, memory, creativity, habits, discipline, the art of learning, tools for thought.
Lessons I’ve learned.
Insights I’ve earned.Words I’ve heard.
Memories spurred.Books I’ve read.
Poems flowing out of my heart and head.No rules, no fixed topic, no niche, no marketing strategy.
Nothing but whatever’s on my mind.I’ve learned a lot so far, but the most important insight: there’s power in publishing imperfect work.
Because if I allow myself to create something imperfect every day, I’m certain that someday the sum of all these imperfect creations will be something I’m proud of.
It’s liberating.
Maybe there’s liberating power in reading someone else’s imperfect work too.
I can’t wait to find out together with you.

#473 Accept it when it comes and when it goes
ByLukasFlawed. Perfect. Inspired. Spiritless. Excited. Defeated. Exhilirated. Gloomy.
Maybe the key is to accept all states when they come and when they go.
#201 Nothing will be perfect
ByLukasWhat would you finally dare to do today
if you knew whatever you try will never be perfect anyway?Publish a story with typos and awkward sentences?
Run a marathon without finishing it?
Play a guitar piece and trip up five times?
Sing in front of other people and miss a note?
Try a new yoga pose in class and fall over?Nothing will be perfect today.
Nothing will be perfect tomorrow.But if you take imperfect action
and dare to publish imperfect work
everything you do will have the perfect taste of progress and consistency.And that’s all that counts anyway.
