Progress
To look to your side is the biggest waste of attention we can possibly imagine.
In the sense that, a lot of things are always happening; with everyone around you; all the time.
(and it’s even redundant to bring this like that)
[…] in the end, nothing of that in the outside really matters or makes difference.
Perspective has its own way to works and it should serve you to focus and progress.
That’s why so many people fall for the trap of comparison.
Taking this as parameter, I can see 2 very clear paths:
- The ones who get sad and paralyzed because other people are “getting there” by their sides.
- The ones who understand that achievement is only originating from constancy.
To progress, most of the times, is to dedicate your time exactly in the moment that things should be done. That very specific moment of alignment in between momentum and action.
But most importantly: to deal with all the consequences.
Practically, is the same as be even more sensitive to what deserves your attention and for how long it deserver your attention.
Guarantee you’re gonna use the amount of experience you do have to act with even more ability and accuracy to “move forward one more space”.
That’s why you create goals: so your present moment can make same; can have meaning.
To bring some light and clarity to your momentary blindness (which even that should receive a totally new kind of meaning).
Eventually, this is indeed a great perspective.
So, how to maintain the rhythm without seeing a single soul in front of you?
Here’s when I believe faith and trust really emerges.
When I decide, it’s what was decided.
Walk backwards or to retroact will never take to the most important thing: to know yourself.
The real one […] in all angles, I mean. Right?
To test yourself as a lab and “define” the results; not as a certainty but for the daily action and decision of progress.
Hence as I realize right in this moment:
To progress is also to detach; to let yourself be involved by the flow and to accept the chain reaction of what you acted on and decided — in every single aspect.
“To detach” do not exist in relation to someone or something.
It’s instead a state of being;
In the same way, there’s no “half progress” or even “half step”.
I mean, we’ve always been landing so far; we aren’t floating yet.
The step is also always brave: it faces the ground, no matter what.
