Does the writing run dry?

Posted on by philipdodson

After 1,986 days of blogging continuously without a break…does the writing run dry?

Well, yes, sometimes it comes instantly and other days I sit and ponder for a while.

The thing is I now do this for myself, I do this because it brings me joy in the moment I write it. Before the ego drove me on, I am the next ‘Seth Godin’ who has been blogging every day for about 15 years!! It was about my mind’s inner stories, the roles I had to fulfil.

In a strange way, I am talking to myself, except out loud to the world, well the people who read it.

At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter what we write or do, it is all personal and as long as it brings us joy now, then that’s it.

Complexity is of the mind and its sabotage to reduce any risk and simplicity and just being is of the soul that just wants to experience now, this moment.

Doing the things we really want to do

When we allow our mind to take control, we truly believe that we are our thoughts, we are the self-created story or stories of our ego. We play all kinds of roles, acting out different personas for different situations.

When we project into the future, which is where the mind is at for a great deal of its time, we feel the psychological fear that always is the future, because it is not real, we can not deal with it so the fear becomes all-consuming.

If we choose to allow this to continue, it alters everything we do, in fact, mainly it stops us doing the things that our soul really wants us to do.

A moment of simple pause, a chance to separate from our thought, and realise that the real you and I are beyond thought, we are the observer of the thoughts, and if we stay at that level of consciousness, we enjoy now this moment and do not enter into the futility of predicting the future. Without fear, we are then more able to do the things we really want to do.
