“I have nothing to say…” was the only thing that came to mind.
I looked outside my office window and that’s when I knew I had to pause and take a break.
I closed my laptop and let out a big heavy sigh.
I have been writing all day. I’ve always wanted to do this. I’ve always wanted to create contents and write for a living. I’ve always wanted to inspire through writing. But for the past 48 hours, it had been a roller coaster ride of thoughts and feelings.
I’ve got so many ideas in my head. Yet for some reason, I’m lost for words…
I can’t seem to get them out of my head. Suddenly, I find it hard to express them. I know the words to say, I just don’t know how to.
For the past few days, I was on fast track. I was unstoppable. Things seem to be taking their place right in front of my eyes. I became too excited with the unexpected and special opportunities happening around me. I got caught up with the magic of being in the moment.
This afternoon got me thinking… I have to refocus. Lucky for me, I could watch the beautiful sunset every day from my office window. It was remarkably beautiful. Gorgeous. I watched it unfold right before me as the color of the sky slowly changed and transitioned from one dramatic hue to another.
I pressed the power on button and started typing the words again. Slowly and carefully this time – just letting them out. Writing, deleting, writing and deleting again.
No rush.
Just when I thought inspiration was nowhere in sight, I realized it was right in front of me.
All I need is to slow down….
