If the path is straight, no indicators please!
Well, clearly this post is for me but maybe you will find it helpful too.
When you know the path to the destination and you intentionally keep the indicators on of your vehicle. You are going to face a lot of hurdles along the road.
If you know the endpoint is in a straight road ahead, there is no need to turn on the indicators, you can go about doing your work.
All humans have multiple interests. Nobody has one interest and keeps bringing their best at it.
It’s the culmination of different interests that birth innovations along the way.
This is what I believe in. And I think it is true for every person.
But, sometimes to master something; you need to, for a brief moment - leave the rest and work on what's at hand.
It's not wrong to do so. It is what it is.
I was at that junction of doing multiple things at once and thinking it was okay and would be fine once I set a momentum.
That led to me being all over the place and delaying the things I actually wanted to do.
I was confused by the distance between what I wanted to do and what I was doing. It’s not wrong to have multiple interests but trying to do all at once is the part where I made a mistake.
My interests keep changing from writing, reading, gaming, playing cricket, badminton, running, recording audio podcasts, playing snooker, learning to edit videos, sketching, and who knows what more.
This led to me stopping everything for a few months. Not that I did not do things at that moment. I played online FPS games, played cricket, and badminton sometimes, and wrote mini-posts. But couldn’t set a good amount of time for one thing because despite all this I have work to do to earn a living.
So, to run behind every interest in the limited time I got after work is tedious and sometimes I leave everything and simply doom-scroll, which I know is not good.
And after months of being stale, because of a lack of self-awareness and no direction, taking turns by blinking indicators at every interest I have. I left the road I was previously on and now I am trying to get back on it.
Hopefully, I will use my energy on things that matter to me now, have the most fun with them, and set clear goals so I don’t blink the indicators of my vehicle and turn towards any new interests.
Here are a few interesting highlights from the past few weeks:
I have heard a lot about the movie “Laapata Ladies“. I will be watching this sometime this week and will share a post on it. If you have already watched it, do share your thoughts on the movie. If you haven’t watched it, I guess I gave you a weekend movie suggestion (You’re welcome.)
The ICC T20 World Cup squad announced. Honestly, I am excited about this World Cup. With the ongoing IPL, the run chases, the top scores, and the individual one-upping with the best forms of everyone (Although, not sure of Hardik, hopefully, will bring his best in the World Cup). I am eager to see what we have in store and no matter what, we all bleed blue when the time comes. So, this squad looks promising to me, and my people to watch out from this squad would be - Samson, Pant, Dube, Bumrah, and of course Kohli (my favorite).
Summer is here and this summer it’s really really hot. The scorching temperatures need to chill a bit. To save your precious, necessary life that I know very little of - Here’s a tip: Keep a small-sized onion in your pockets. It helps in absorbing heat and prevent heat strokes. I humbly request all to be safe.
Thank you for reading. I will see you all soon in a new post. If you are here for the first time - please subscribe, so you don’t miss any posts.
