Hiking
Do We Always Have to Go All the Way to the Top?
Is it necessary to climb all the way to the top every time, or do we manage further down?
When it comes to going up the mountain, I have a tendency to go all the way. I prefer to go all the way up to the goal.
It’s a little special, maybe, but I’m still able to do it. But I know that I will not always be able to reach the top, so I know that I have to decide not to go all the way to the top every single time.
It is fine to walk calmly and enjoy the trip and stop and look behind at the distance I have put behind me. And then I can think that this was good. This was a great trip!
This is also the case with many other things in life. We may aim to reach high, but many times we are not always able to reach the biggest and most hairy goal.
This can also be the case with an activity such as writing. It may be that I as a writer am so self-critical or perfectionist that I can never finish the text. I feel that I have to refine the text all the time, so that it never gets good enough.
That’s not good for productivity. In one place I have to put the final sentence and press Publish.
Excessive perfectionism is not always good!
We have to write and then we have to get it out. To the readers!
So hey, friend, you who read this, write, tell about your trips! Do not be very critical of yourself when writing. Describe, tell and show photos from your trips.
We look forward to reading and seeing more!
