An empty screen. Just a blinking cursor, that’s it. A willingness to learn to write is all that fills the void. I’m unimaginably bad at this and yet I want to fill the screen with words. Why? Because I want to become better at it. I want to improve myself.
I’ve read all kinds of articles online on how you should write blog posts and articles but that doesn’t really help me. I mean sure somebody can say that you have to write 1000 words each and every day (especially when you don’t feel like it) but it’s something different to actually do it. At least for me.
I feel like there’s something inside of me. Something that doesn’t want to come out. I feel like I can do more than I’m doing right now. I feel that I can achieve much more then I’m achieving currently. Sometimes I’m pondering, inside my head. I think there’s a lot of good stuff that actually never comes out.
The Golden Circle
Yesterday I was watching this TED presentation by Simon Sinek on How great leaders inspire action. He made me think about it in a way that makes sense to me. Simon describes three stages in which we can classify our actions. He calls it the Golden Circle. It consist of three rings; What, How and Why.
I have a feeling that there’s much in my why, but I cannot quantify it. Possibly this is because he explains that both the what and the how are being processed by different parts in our brain than the why part.
I hope that by writing more, I come to think of these things in a different way which enables me to more easily communicate about it.
New beginnings
2014, at the forefront of a new year. There are things I want to do better. Better than how I did things in 2013, or even before that. I am going to write more. That is a promise I am making myself. I have done that before, but I feel like this time is different.
