You can change your life (book review)

Change. It comes in different form, from something that is potentiall life changing to something that we simply do because we feel like so. How common it is for us to think, 'if only I had much more money rather than being broke by the end of the month'? Or perhaps, 'I wish I wasn't as unhappy as I am now'? Or maybe something even much more smaller, such as 'I should pick up a hobby', or the ever popular 'I need to lose weight'. 

No matter how ambitious or petty our goals, we know that to actually reach there could only mean one thing: something needs to be changed.

Sometimes, you just need to write at least something

I'll be honest that I've been at loss of motivation and direction recently with where my work was going. I felt frustrated because I couldn't really find that push, that original spark that let me take the plunge into the whole business.

The whole self doubt issue begin to crop up. But then, I figured that something should - something need to be done about it.

So I went back to the basic: I read. I digest. I analyze. And I begin to write.

And it might not be much, but I sure feel motivated. Some scribbling (more towards metaphorical really, ahah) later, and I felt like I could keep going and going.

And with that, I've decided that I need to get back into the habit of reading and writing. And what better place to get myself back into that habit than here? Although it can be said that the mass social media takes away most people's need and feeling for blogging, but there's something that makes it a much better platform than a stray thoughts being typed out in the sea of social media.

Perhaps it is much closer to writing in a diary, rather than a scribble on the wall - if I'm allowed to give a metaphor.


Of course, there's that other place for me to write more freely my thoughts, but I'll occasionally muster up something around here. Something more thought out than simple ramblings, perhaps?
Hey, this is a platform after all - and it's something which I've neglected for a while already, it seems. I should buck up and get myself occupied again. The idle mind's the devil playground, and whatnot.


Don't call this a comeback, but it's near close enough.
