stepping away for just a second...
abandoning something is always seen in a negative light...
because it simply means that 'one has given up all hope' or in short 'a failure'...
i have myself embarked on lots of so-called 'projects' and 'goals' and 'dreams' without actually knowing why...
maybe its from a whim of deluding myself into thinking that i am truly interested in seing that aim to the end...
or maybe it's just that i am bored and have to find things to challenge and distract myself with so that time passes faster...
who knows really why ppl choose to do things...
i think also, i am that type of person that has to give everything a chance before i can dismiss it off as something that i really lack passion to do...
as the saying goes 'you never know unless you try'...
and unfortunately, i, like so many before me, when faced with some sort of 'obstacle' or 'hardship' or 'discouragement' will willfully just 'give up' on that goal...
abandoning something based on those factors always lingers in the back of my mind, because i know well enough, that it's that type of thinking that prevents 'what i want to achieve' from happening...
and personally speaking i know that i am the type of person that gets more satisfaction from achieving something when i have had to go through a battlefield to get it...
so whenever i feel something is not going my way, i have to remind myself to not walk away from that dream but to just 'step away for a second'...
'stepping away for just a second' is my own way of dealing with frustration...
and it also allows me to evaluate things in my life again...
creating that space of not doing something constantly is helpful because i am instigated to miss what i stepped away from, and because i am refreshed with withdrawal symptoms i feel that new eagerness to tackle that personal project again, but maybe from a different angle...
some ppl call that 'dedication' whilst others will say its just plain 'stubborness' ...
whichever it is, doesn't really matter to me...
i think what matters to me is that, i have a driving force spurring me on to finish what i personally want to get out of life, even if it will take my whole life and beyond to get it...
