You Are Not Too Young To Write A Book
Youth changes the course of the generation. See all the successful personalities, and you may find your idol too. Naming them would be a non-exhaustive list, so I leave it to you to learn their life stories.
From being a backbencher to creating the best business in the world, it requires showing up to the challenge every day with a long-term vision of what success looks like.
For a school student, it can be getting good marks. For a college student, it can be gaining experience in the two career paths ( industry or academic ) and knowing the workaround for success in each of them to see what fits their realistic preferences. For a blogger, it can be finishing a book. Genres can be anything depending on personal knowledge and zeal to learn — fiction, non-fiction, autobiography, comedy, life-lessons, horror, etc. I have not decided on the title yet, but I have started the first words for it.
Writing First Book Is A Challenge
Another ambitious step to challenge the creative muscles is testing the patience of finishing a book. From writing every day for four weeks to adding book-writing to my schedule, I keep setting tougher challenges with time so that my mind keeps growing continuously. I want to train it by giving it new pursuits every day.
I don’t think there is a limit to learning, so I will expand the mental aperture as wide as I can to absorb every positive lesson life teaches me.
Working Plans Have Built The Trust
I am 22, and I have more than half of my life remaining to experience the adventures I have planned. But that does not mean these 22 years were not phenomenal.
Whenever I have a conversation attentively, I develop a robust contextual memory with it, and I can flash it whenever I want. It is like watching a dream with eyes open. Only if I were a great sketching artist to convert it to a visual on paper, man, that would be one crazy carousel of life-history!
I had a terrific childhood. I went from a total academic loser to an excellent student in my school life. I enjoyed preparing for engineering exams in Kota, and I’ve made the best use of college life while I still had the time to benefit from the community that is college friends.
Some of the best times of my life are from Kota. I know many of my friends miss college life more than anything. I get it. I also did while leaving from the campus gate, not knowing if I’d come back. But I satisfied this nostalgia by visiting the college when I wanted to. I did not visit Kota for a long time. And I think that place deserves another visit to see what has changed in the last five years.
Energy Management For Time Management
I have tolerated the unworthy pressure of a 9to5 job, and I don’t want to judge the entire 9to5 hustle based on my just one experience. I am giving it time and pushing for another worthy one to gain a little more perspective because I haven’t seen everything of what a full-time desk job has to offer.
Right now, the freelance work is serving me well, and I will keep doing it as long as it is exciting. Energy management is the crucial factor for time management, and when it comes automatically while still having some spare time, I am venturing for another full-time role. Because solving people’s problems while interacting in-person and receiving “thank you” as a gesture of gratitude, who doesn’t want that?
The Second Challenge Is Also There!
Now that I have managed to work at specific hours in the morning to work on blogging for an hour or so, I am taking the challenge to the next level in doing two things: the first one is writing a book. I have revealed the second one in the next article!
So, what excited me to write a book in the first place? The driving trigger is the non-stop rush of thoughts once I start documenting them in words. Sometimes I even have to dig deep in the thesaurus to find the perfect explanation for my situation.
If I do not have a fixed time slot to dedicate for blogging, or if I do not have demanding daily chores or the freelance work, then I would never leave the chair once I start writing.
Damn it. I’ve reached that writing high, and now I am just one challenge away from writing a book.
Trusting The System Works For The Best
I have set a long-term roadmap for it so it won’t make sense to describe the entire path right now. Do I start with the content first or brainstorm with the title first? I have an idea but haven’t written it down yet. The only thing I am confident about is the experience that will go into it and the learning that will transfer to everyone from it.
Some goals like this may sound unrealistic. But you have to act on your madness to change everything around you. If you want to change the world around you, start within. Start introspecting and light your life with self-transformation. The system of giving my best in the present moment by establishing a healthy mindset has developed consistency in whatever routine I add to my schedule. I am sure the next challenge will also teach me something!
This blog belongs to a series of posts I am publishing in this 100-days streak. Navigate to the end of article 22 for the references from day 23 onwards. If you would like to read the ones before day 22, here is the first one that documents them in the end.
