My "Aha" Moment
While I was perusing the latest issue of O magazine, I suddenly had what I consider a great idea for a new writing project. I'm going to write a book about .... not that fast, you might steal my ingenious idea and beat me to getting it published. Hahaha, I know I do sound deluded, but can you imagine how deluded I actually was when I came up with this and actually thought it was going to be realized. Well, who knows,it might be a New York Time's bestseller??? (Read with the last syllable one octave higher than the rest) It's about something I and only I know about, my life. But not an autobiography because who would be interested in reading about my humdrum life? Last I checked I didn't invent Post It or the IPod. But there are different aspects of human life that could prove interesting, not just the successes and failures. There are different phases we had to go through to be the people we are. Ooops, I'm giving too much away. I feel very positive about it. I have to get rid of the Critical me that always seems to have an excuse to not do the things I should be doing. I do believe that in our brain dwell the sentimental and the logical and a healthy balance is essential to have a well oiled running machine. But when we overthink things, we freeze and become withdrawn. We take the easy way out which is to not do anything and not set ourselves up for failure. Failure is good. Failure is better than not experiencing anything. If this book never gets published, then I will post it here and all of you are going to have to read it. I will still get it out there because that's how much I believe in this project. I know there are many people out there experiencing the same things as I and it might be good to know that they're not alone in their struggle. So guys and gals, keep your fingers crossed for me!
