I’ve gotten in the rotten habit of always thinking about what’s next.
I love checking projects and assignments off because it means I get to work with the next thing, but that, in a way, prevents me from moving forward faster.
Instead of always seeking the next thing, sometimes it pays off more to do more of what you’re doing, but differently.
Perhaps you’re in a job that is repetitive and it’s frustrating that you haven’t been promoted or asked to do different work. You can let your desire (and ultimate inability) to progress eat at your passion or you can direct that passion to experiment with what you have in front of you.
Simply because you’ve been blogging for a year doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get your book published. Maybe it’s time to blog differently and see if it resonates more.
When we are facing a barrier to what we want next, we can either let it destroy us, drain our energy, and make us question our direction or we can think about things differently, experiment with our work, and find a way to improve what we think is “good enough.”
