Two important thoughts


So I was planning to take a break from blogging because my backlog reached a count of 6. But then a thought struck me strongly.
One, Best should never become the enemy of good. The reason for not expressing myself in last few days was not lack of time. Instead, It was my desire to write something productive and articulate instead of writing something. However, I think at this moment, My prime focus should be on consistency over quality. So do write. Even if it is something not worth reading but develop a habit and get over the inertia of not writing.

I have found an easy way of developing confidence. Whenever you feel weak or down, just remember the moment. Get it entrenched in your memory. and then keep walking. Even a single step, but it matters. Just keep walking. No need to run or sprint. Just keep walking. Running and sprint will happen eventually. One friend gave me a very good formula. In Tamil, there is a saying, "charaiveti, charaiveti" which means "keep walking, keep walking". Life is like this only. One needs to be consistent and persistent. Here speed matters less than consistent. So if one keeps walking, sooner or later, one would get over the bad phase or downtime or weak moment. And Once you are out of that ditch, then recall the moment when you were down and you had made a self-commitment of trying, walking and persevering. The goosebumps you will get at that moment will make you feel your confidence and courage. And this will become your definition.
