Keep moving forward

Sometimes I find myself after a long day’s work doing things which are not overly exciting, feeling quite exhausted, not “tired” but rather “empty”. I want to do more productive things but I just can’t bring myself to do any more.

In these moments, I try to stop and think, how am I feeling in this moment, and why?

Often, it’s a certain unjustified fear of being overly productive (a certain sub-type of a fear of success). Other times it’s a wake up call that I’m not working hard ENOUGH. Quite counter-intuitive, but sometimes we give up too easily. We feel a little tired and we convince ourselves that we’re done, and we can’t do any more. Sometimes it’s true, and you need a good night’s rest, but in these cases, you just know it, and you tend to feel accomplished, not “empty”.
If you do feel this emptiness, then you’ve still got work to do.
When you feel like giving up, especially when you’re working hard on accomplishing your goals, remember that if you’re not moving FORWARD, you’re moving BACKWARDS. So is life.

So go, run twice as fast, keep moving forward. Often, when it feels the darkest, when you feel like you’re making no progress, like you have absolutely no energy left, that’s the perfect time to get up and get moving.

Keep Moving Forward.
