I’ve discovered this little truth a while ago. Putting effort and energy into the present actually can create great pleasure afterwards. I never was a big fan of investing energy now for pleasure afterwards, but somehow I discovered that the process itself can be fun, too. I focus on the present moment, the movements, the process itself, instead of on the goal – and get the results I like while having already pleasure. In the past I focused on the goal and got frustrated with the process of exercising. But today everything was new for me. I never really felt my body while exercising, never focused on how it feels to literally cause pain to yourself and holding it. How long do I stand? When do I give up? How much control do I have over my body? New insights in every present moment.

Why discover the world already if you don’t know yourself?

It’s time for me to become a novelist. On December 31st shortly before midnight I told myself that 2009 will become the best year I’ve ever had in my life before. This project is a chance to get seizable results to show to myself and others. While I have grown a lot this year, I’m not able to prove this to other people. I don’t need their appreciation, but when I’m yelling into the world that 2009 will / is my best year since I was born, people might ask me what curious had happened. Then I be able to say that I’ve grown on my personal and spiritual level as same as that I’m a novelist!

For everyone who doesn’t know what the NaNoWriMo is about, here you’ve got the full description from their website:

In short:
You are going to write a novel with at least 50.000 words in november only. 30 days to write a novel is a tough plan, that’s why your story doesn’t need to be great – it depends just on your discipline to write such a long novel.

I see a great opportunity for myself to gain more self-discipline through attenting to this project. After november I will be able to look back gladly and tell myself, that I’ve reached a big goal in 30 days, which most of the people on earth never reach in their entire life. If this isn’t motivational for upcoming goals, I would really need professional help.

I’m really exited because I have nothing prepared – just 2 characters and their descriptions as their living locations. I’ll see what real creative flow can create, because I’ll try to stay focused in a positive mindstate to let the words flow through my fingers. I don’t want to create by myself. I want to let creating. Someone or something (even if it’s just my unconsciousness) will take control.

We’ll see on november 30th what will have happened.

Taking instant action

It sounds ridiciolous simple but is one of the biggest mistakes people can do when craving for success and leaving this thing out.  I am one of these people, believe me. But I tasted the flavour of success when getting started and want MORE. But how should I do it when I have really no goals for my blog, I just want to keep it alive for years and fill it with information valueable for me and the world. Nothing else.

So maybe I’ll take action? What would this look like?
Haha – the answer again is as simple as gorgeous: I publish a blog post today.

World, it’s done.
