Why’d you stop?

Let’s take it back to that first post.

Shall we?

The one I wrote to start it all.

Did you perhaps start that thing you’re passionate about? Even before I gave you the ok. You were like, “Yea, thanks chick but I’m already doing what I love to do”. Cool! Glad to hear that. But how about that time that you stopped for a while? Maybe it was because:

• things just got busy,

• life got in the way,

• a little bit of disillusionment seeped in,

• someone mentioned something negative,

• motivation flew out the window,

• inspiration is basically nowhere to be found,

• maybe you just thought someone else is doing it better,

• continue your own list from there...

Again. Why did you stop? Why didn’t you pick it back up?

Your creativity is unique to the life you have lived. There is beauty you can create from the ashes of your past.

If you let it.

• Pick up that pencil

• Put on your dancing shoes

• Hit the record button on your camera

• Lift that guitar

• Tune up your vocal cords

• Paint over that blank canvas

• Dust off your sowing kit

Even if there is no trace of motivation in you. Just try. Hammer away at that wall you’ve put up. Now, it’s fine to slow down. To even take a break. But know that you can’t take a break forever. You have to keep going.

Find someone who’s passionately thriving in what they are doing. You’ll be surprised by how much the fire in their own journey can affect and ignite the flickering fire in your own life. Just one conversation and you’ll feel like you’ve grown wings. Now the tricky part is finding the right person to talk to. Cause the wrong person will just finish the job in blowing out the fire in you.
