Self-Reflection/Showing Equal Love (Breaking My Silence)
For over 1 month now I decided to keep a low profile with the world. Not because of anything or any of the people in my life, but because of me. For me, I realize that I am moving at a very fast pace with the way I keep myself busy. However, I have been too stubborn and stuck in my own head to realize that for even my ambitious goals and wild determination, that I began to move even faster with a brake button I immobilized myself.
In my mind, that's what I wanted. I wanted to do everything at a mach 1 speed. As a kid (and even now), I have always studied great artists, entrepreneurs and people (even my own friends and peers around me) and they all had one thing in common. They always pushed themselves beyond their current limits in order to become a better version of the person they are meant to be. The one piece of knowledge I overlooked was having the ability to work hard and smart at the same time. That was my downfall, I was working extremely hard, but I wasn't working smart at the same level.
"I'm going in for the kill, I'm doing it for a thrill, oh I'm hoping you'll understand and not let go of my hand." - La Roux
The forms of art that I love and passionate about (cooking, photography and writing/journalism) are like my kids and I was not displaying good parenting. I showed one kid (cooking) more love and affection then the other kids (photography, and writing/journalism) and that's not right. I didn't realize what I was actually doing until I ran into the wall of reality, stopping me dead in my tracks and knocking me down hard on my back.
It took for my close friends, my brothers and my self-conscious (showing me dreams as I slept) to make me stop and think differently. I made everything more difficult than I needed to. While I wish I could have learned this lesson sooner than later, I'm happy to have reflect on my mistakes now instead of even later.
95% of the plans I created as of yesterday I threw away. I'm starting off my new plans with a better sense of understanding about myself, my thinking process and what I can do in a more efficient way than before.
