Not back to the future.
To me, selling my book is one of the things I flee for. I have created this remarkable anti-stres journal ‘Collectie van Rampen’. I just have a hard time by the idea of selling. I’m a bit insecure of what people might think of the book and at the same time I have a hard time talking about what I’m insecure of. Figures.
One of the patterns I personally have is the flight away from hard things. I just make up so much positive storytelling to myself, about other things, that I have a hard time finishing the stuff that I intended to do as a positive thing in the first place. So what happens is I unknowingly get out of the way of hard things. Because I just don’t see it anymore because of all the other WOWY things. And then I don’t finish stuff.
Finding something hard is being afraid of it. And you need to break that down bit by bit. You’ll recognize that you can handle it, even if it’s hard.
Some things are just hard to do. And it’s not that you must not do it. You must actually extra do it. Hard puzzles are the most fulfilling to complete. Especially when you can admit to yourself that you have a freaking hard time and you really don’t like it, but at the same time you want to do this puzzle.
Ordinary people don’t start the hardest puzzles.
Finishing hard puzzles is the path to a masterful life.
