glass half full

As I write a blog, and make a new entry, I am making more cumulative mistakes. I am committing grave errors, and not looking back. But these are to be mended and tweaked later. This is just the first draft. What I am delivering is a piece of work which can be improved, rearranged, and compiled into one solid piece. As I write and write some more, I get One Step Closer to the good stuff.

Not a step nearer to additional mistakes. The perspective is critical. An article that is poorly written or edited, or is just bad content / irrelevant material - can be deleted.

I am putting a lot of effort into editing the content, which is elevating my writing and speaking skills, and the benefit is bound to remain with me- long term. As I perform my self-assigned reading, listening and writing activities, I am learning each day. The glass gets filled by a few drops every passing week. I should be grateful for those droplets.

And not be cursing myself for being subpar, or lament how far I am from the finished product, or how the whole prospect is so challenging.

That attitude would beat the purpose of doing this whole thing. Even if it takes me a long time to achieve my goals, which it will not, it will definitely be worth the effort. Even with the intrusion and obstruction by the probable hitches and snags, some work will be taken care of.

It doesn’t matter if the task completed is subpar, and there is a lot left to be desired, the wheels have started to turn, and the animal is alive.

No one can kill it.


Even a 20% full glass is a sign of positive movement, not decline, as I tell myself. A glass, only marginally filled should be regarded with pride, not anxiety.
