It all falls into place
If you do the work
They say everything works out for a reason, it was meant to be
But things only fall into place if you do the work,
Like you won’t get that job if you don’t apply for it, turn up for the interview…
You won’t get the job if you don’t do the qualification
You want get the date if you dont ask the person out…
The work needs to be done
If you want things to fall into place
Sign a contract with yourself
You punch in at your work, do your hours, take your breaks when scheduled, do what the contract requires, then leave
Yet our ideas, whether that’s going to the gym or reading or saving
We just free ball it
We go if we feel like it, or put money into our savings if we remember
What if you wrote a contract out and signed it
Stating all the requirements of what you set out to do
Like every month I will save 10-20% of my wage
Or i will go to the gym 3x per week at this time
It works, my gym requires that you book in before going now,
Which is good because once your booked in you have to show up because if you don’t someone else could have had that space
Sign a contract
And do what you said you would

Imagine if Bilbo never left the shire, Or Luke Skywalker never went to the Death Star
Imagine that before they left the door, They talked themselves out of going, They made up excuses like ‘I forgot my handkerchief’, Or ‘I’m supposed to stay here and help on the farm’
The movies that we know and love would be incredibly short and our beloved heroes would just be Hobbits and Farmers.

Before you start your quest you need your avatar, This is not a video game where you can create your perfect version of you, Select your strength and how you look, bash a few buttons and master a skill…
You want to level up in real life, You need to look inward, You need to know who you are first, in order to bridge the gap and become who you want to be…

Creativity break
Ok creativity does not take a break, it jumps at you from nowhere, sometimes in the most random times
Like in the shower or on a long road trip, you know when there is absolutely nothing you can do about it
So why the creativity break
You know, your sat at your desk, your boss or your client is down your neck or your firing blanks in the ideas meetings
You stare at a blank screen or paper, forcing your brain to come up with something
But it just relays the fact you got nothing.
So what do you do?
Get away from your desk and do anything other than think about the problem
Take a walk, exercise, take a weekend away and just dont think about the problem
But whatever you do, take a notepad and be ready to capture the ideas as they come
Because they will If you take a break from trying to find them
