Do my best

Describe your ideal week.

Well, I don’t demand much to consider a week as super-duper.

A perfect week for me would be one where I can write every day, writing 1000 words per day.

But life is life, and it isn’t always generous. It delivers events, sometimes pleasant, sometimes not, which distract you from reaching your perfect goals. And there are also the responsibilities you carry out throughout the week. And if you put these circumstances together, it happens now and then, you are pushed into blackness and writing blockage. Then, bid goodbye to the ideal week.

Therefore, to reach your ideal goal, which I believe doesn’t come alone with a magic wand. You should train your concentration and work hard on your goals; otherwise, you wouldn’t appreciate the things you finally achieve.

But why always speak of “ideal”? Does true ideality really exist? If everything is perfect, isn’t it also boring? As for me, I’ve learned over the years just to give my best and not let myself be carried away by high ideal expectations, because this attitude is harrowing for my mental well-being. And what I’ve experienced is that this viewpoint holds sweet surprises in the end.

All in all, in this case, ideal can be defined as something that has been shaped through handling difficult circumstances in the best way.

    Appreciating the tone of this post, especially as it’s been hard to feel I’m doing as well as I need to be, to make impact in the world. How could anyone do as well as needed given that kind of measure? It’s using an inappropriate tool.

      The best is not to chase perfection and ideality. Setting goals is okay, but missing them is OK, too. Just keep on fighting. I’ve become very Saturnian, lately. 😊❤️

        Love the way you say that “Missing them is OK, too.” It has to be, I think. 🙂
