Someone once told me that seeing 11:11 on a clock means that another person is thinking of you. Well, I've been seeing that number way too often so I doubt that's true anyway. But if anyone out there is really thinking about me, how wonderful would that be?
Lately I've been occupied with seemingly frivolous yet important things. Things like learning. I'm not sure whether it's a thing of our generation, that we somehow are groomed to be very impatient people, because it is pretty evident that we are always in a rush. We always wait till the last minute, want to see results fast, and want to achieve things quickly. Think about the times we went "I wish I could play the guitar like John Mayer," or "I wish I could have a body like Ryan Gosling," or even "I wish I could be as successful as ___".
We are obsessed with being good at things we see others are good at, but we don't realise that they have put in their due effort to get where they are. Nobody had a short cut, so why should we? If we never start, we will never be good at something. You want to be good at a sport? Then get up and go play it! You want to learn to play an instrument? Then get it and learn from scratch! The greatest obstruction to success is inaction, procrastination, and self-resistance. Tell yourself that you want to do something, be somebody, and you will need to put in the effort to make it happen.
Gosh, I sound so damn inspirational.
