F = m*a

Yes, a little refresher for the Newton’s second law of motion. Rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied. Now, apply to that to something not physical. That’s the state of mind, especially when you are forced to sit in a place and chill. At least, that’s how my mind works. Come on, you can’t blame me now!

So well, after January, I meet the blogger when May is almost over in a few hours. Guess there was nothing much that happened which triggered an action to write a blog. Or again, I probably forgot with all the written documentations and deadline reports. Maintaining so many documents is a pain in the ass I tell you. Things the mind makes me do. 

I was just discussing with a friend on how my mind is weirdly a Newton aficionado. All creative ideas happen only when I’m quite busy. Not worked up, but busy with work. But take the work off of me and the brain becomes a rotting hell. The creative juices just refuse to flow. I’m not sure if I’ve to train my mind to get busy with other things itself, rather than waiting. Maybe that’s the way to do it. Pursuing a creative art form I think is very challenging. Not about the talent. It’s about how much you can do with what you have. 

I recently (re)discovered an ancient thing. Dedication is more important than talent. And if you have even the slightest liking (love the gerund) toward what you are doing, you’ll find a better way to do it. Not necessarily easier, but a better presentation, a better view. That’s what a consistent plan does. 

While all this sounds so good… Jeez, maybe I need to write in public more often so that there is a change there too. Change is the only constant anyways. Allocate different environments to different things that you do. Especially with the new normal, and the uncertainty looming large over if the old was ever normal, maybe, just maybe, it might be a good thing to train my brain now!
