Same Journey Slightly Different Direction...

ZigZag Sunset

As time has progressed in my recovery from foot surgery and my patience or there lack of has started to surface more in the past week, even to the point of feeling like I had to run away with a writing magazine to have coffee at the local coffee shop and then head out to see the sunset, which may I say was stunning. Then I came home to have some dinner and rest the foot some more and then head for bed.

I have been writing over the last couple of weeks as I layed on the couch resting and then yesterday I just hit a massive brick wall with
it. Writers block I guess, but I just didn't feel the words were working for me or the way I was writing. While sitting at the coffee shop with my magazine I wondered, instead of going down a non fiction style, why not try fiction, but with some truth in the story. I suddenly felt ideas flying at me, luckily enough I had my mobile phone with me to be able to take notes as I was getting the thoughts. As much as I had prior the book style to be non fiction, I didn't even consider a fictional style book instead. I remembered writing a story in year ten at high school for English, and got an 'A' for it. The feeling of getting that 'A' resurfaced with in me, the feeling of accomplishing something that I thought of and that was good enough for such a good grade. So why can't I do it again, and use a deeper part of me to impart words of wisdom in a different way.

Its interesting that you can have such a definite way of doing something and it takes just one little thing, thought, idea, block, etc to get you to think of doing the same thing but just in a different way. This can be done for so many different things in your life. A particular project you are working on, a particular way you train yourself or others in sport. It just takes that something so small to help you to see that you can have the same out come, but doing it in different way, just taking in a slightly different direction. As long as you have the end goal still in mind that is what matters, how you get to that end goal is the journey and one that can have some amazing twists and turns and lessons to learn.

Have an awesome week everyone...
