The Process: The start of a journey of self-reflection to find clarity

“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.” — Arthur Ashe

Besides the cliché of having the first words of a new blog series be a quote, what was the first thought that came to your mind?

For me, at first, I couldn’t tell you what I thought because I have been stewing on this thought for the last few months. And the confusion and lack of clarity have only amplified even more since classes have started back up. Being a full time student with a service scholarship I am passionate about, running a customer-centered company and a new startup that has been increasingly taking up every part of my creative thinking, I feel like I should be overflowing with fulfillment and satisfaction, but I am not. I am struggling every day to get out of bed and not in a depressed way but quite literally trying not to push the snooze button over and over again.

I am busy, but I am too focused on the mundane. I need to not be. I need an outlet of self-reflection or else without a structured outlet, it just won’t happen. So allow me to formally introduce you to me. It’s not a new project, it is only an account of my thoughts. I have never done this before, so it may evolve, pivot or upright change. I have picked Wednesday as a release date (which I will explain further in a few weeks). At times I will be stressed and procrastinate until the deadline and on those days I will be throwing my words on to the [digital] paper late Tuesday night. And to any stakeholder in my life reading this, please understand that this is not something else to take up my time if anything this is a project for me to clear my mind and focus on everything that I do with more passion and thought than ever before.

So, if your invested in my journey or just want to try this out and see where it’s going, follow me on @medium or on twitter and check back next Wednesday for my next post.

Until next time,

— Zach
