Can I ask for something more from God ?

Thanks

The day began on an exciting note. Just like you, I too wanted to see myself writing, updating the post, and fulfilling my own promises. Now after writing the complete post, I can say that it was easier than I thought of.

It was interesting to see myself oscillating between being little tensed to see that internet wasn’t working and thinking how would I publish my post and then just focusing on enjoying the writing process and be in that moment as I said in the last post.

I wrote amidst the little commotion created by Anvay and Guru and in between I also imagined all your faces glued to your mobile and computer screens, ready to read and inspect what would I update and publish in my this post. Believe me, I too wanted to see and know like you, what would I write this time, in the blog since I had no clue.

I did not plan anything, no topic in mind or any premeditated thought. I just knew that I had to write whatever came to my mind. I tried, yes, I did, not to build and create any pressure inside and be distracted by anything that could intervene my enjoyment of writing process. The purpose was clear this time, to enjoy the process. I did that. I followed what my heart said. I moved in the direction which was unknown to me. And you know what? I was not afraid and conscious at all like I had been on many occasions earlier in my writing. Not at least of what I write and what you think and what it means to you. I was ready to explore the unknown, the unexplored, and the untouched ways of my mind and my writing this time.

This experience of writing was different than before. No stress, no anxiety, I was light and felt flying with my words in the direction of unknown choices. Whether I produced the words or the words came up on their own, there was no tussle and no tug of war. I just typed the fingers on the keyboard and allowed the words to unveil on their own. They came one after the other, just like the running of the bunny. But they were in no hurry so was I-in no hurry at all. I was happy to watch them, be with them, enjoy their company and let them be on their own. The process was easier, enjoyable and lighter than before.

I did let loose myself and saw the dancing of my own words in my own front. For sometime I was lost in the internal symphony of my words and the rhythm of the keyboard. And in the next moment came the thought to publish the post. I did both, can I ask from God for something more?

Here are some of the lessons that I leant in the process of writing this post.

  1. Enjoy the journey and the process, the result will come on its own.
  2. Perfectionism is another form of procrastination, who knows better than me,  I try to make and think that east post must be perfect and because of this I have given many self excuses to myself. Now, No More. You too, don’t do that.
  3. Giving your best in each moment is more important than just thinking how to make anything perfect. The first makes you comfortable and the second creates stress. And yes, what is perfection? Know your own definition of perfection and give your best then.
  4.  Know the expectations of your readers and know what they expect and want from you. Give them what they want. (It is for you I have extended this post). Hope you will be happy now. It is your happiness and satisfaction that is important to me. You know how much you matter to me, don’t you?
  5. Be thankful to the lord and the Universe for the breath and making you what you are today. Everything then looks miraculous and manifestation of God. A big thanks to you too for helping me to complete the post.
  6. Explore. I have explored two styles of writing in the same post. Re-read them, understand and enjoy both 🙂

    Its great to be random sometimes. Good to hear the experience as well, but where is the post 😛

    • Pratibha says:

      Thanks a lot Anshul 🙂
      Post well…what is your definition of a post? How should it look? What message should it have?
      Answer these and then you will see the post in the random thoughts as well.
      Most of the times we have a fixed notion of something, if the thing does not fit the way we want, in that format with which we are familiar with, we get confused. Remember the path less trodden…my movement is more in that direction. I am sure you would understand.
      Enjoy the day and stay blessed always:)

    Nice post ma’am.
    The struggle of a writer.
    U explained it very well.
    I was not just reading it but it was very much visible like it’s all happening in front of me.
    Very well written ma’am.
    And it was not that easy writing I guess.

    • Pratibha says:

      Thanks Prashant.
      Honestly speaking, this time it was less of a struggle and more of a light writing. To reach to that level of effortless writing, we have to take some efforts and I am happy that I am heading in that direction only with the passage of time. Where the effort become effortless and I can write with ease and I do’t write but the words and sentences come on their own.
      I know there will be moments of struggle, conflict and pain but they have their own importance and value in the process of writing. Important is to enjoy the process and love what we do. In this post, this is the only message.
