When I sat down to start to write tonight, I started thinking about how I feel that my rhythm for writing is in a much better place than in previous stints, that I am really starting to get into the flow of the process.
I have tried to force this flow numerous times before and if you know anything about flow, you would know that you most certainly can not force it.
There is an argument here for the validity of building discipline into a habit that I want to propagate versus it just not being the right moment in time to succeed.
I am a big believer in discipline, especially once I decide who I want to be. But I am also learning a thing or two about timing as I go.
All the discipline in the world won’t just make something right and all the forcing won’t get it to fit.
This also starts to make sense when applied to the question of why we can’t change people, no matter how hard we try or care.
These people that I so desperately want to help, or need to help for my ego, aren’t in the right time for their own change yet, just like I haven’t been in the right time for my own forcing.
The good news is that all of the experiences and knowledge that I have gained through these times of trying to force flow, have helped me to get into it now. It’s all necessary; the good, the bad, and the ugly.
It doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try, or that I failed, I just needed more time. It also doesn’t mean that we should ever give up on people, their time will come, and all the moments that seemed wasted, will all mean something when it does.
