Looking at things differently

‘Whirlwind’ by Philip Dodson

How often do you challenge yourself to look at things differently?

It is amazing what comes up when we stop and pause. Take a moment to reflect on the things that we do each day and ask simple things like why do I do that? Why do I do it that way? Is there an alternative way? Do I need to do it all?

This doesn’t suggest endless analysis, overthinking and not taking action.

It is suggesting that we all too often we do things out of habit, good or bad, without assessing its impact, good or bad.

Finally, it gives us a chance to reflect on what we are doing right instead of dwelling on what we are perhaps doing wrong.

Doing things differently opens up uncertain and exciting outcomes.

A perfect way to overcome the fear of starting something.

Just one more layer to peel off the procrastination onion.

Sooner or later, you’ll realise with over 200 million blogs sites to choose from, that it is unlikely that you’ll be a global hit. Who knows, you may be, but you’ll only be if you share what really matters to you and you say what you really think.

Your voice matters, to you and to others like you, who will find you and love what you have to say. Especially, if you take the risk of being 100% you and saying something that is controversial, something that stands out.

The others who don’t get what you have to say or don’t like it, they don’t matter.

We are not here for everyone, so shout your name out and be proud of what you have to say.

But, if it helps you get started, then hide your name until you get comfortable.

My view is, write for yourself, then you’ll write your best stuff, ignore the comments and stats. Create your best work free from the fear of the critic.

Put your name to your work.
