I woke up this morning. But it was as if I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It didn't start well. The morning started like a gradient. The sky outside my window wasn't that dark and it wasn't that bright either. I think it was somewhere in between.
It looks as if you're just stuck in life. Where you're not winning, where you're not failing. I woke up as if I was doing my normal morning routine. Washing my teeth, taking my bath and trying to set out for work. It was nothing to worry about. I was just calm in the morning. That is when something really hit me while preparing for work.
Growth is a gradient too. People love to imagine a quick success story where they just make it out of the blue moon. But that is not reality. You want before and after to be perfect. But it's not so. It's life. Sometimes the efforts we make, the bad days, the lonely days are what really make the success count.
One day you can feel less motivated.
The next day you're already tired.
But after everything is through, you have to show up and do your best. I remember when I was in a position where. I tried to change my habits. But it was hard. I needed some consciousness. I didn't wake up the way I planned.
Things didn't go suddenly. I did it because of discipline all of a sudden. It all happened gradually. No sharp line but it was just a gradual change.
You don't exactly notice them. But you can see things clearly from where you are. You can feel stuck today. Or it can just be life in that gradient to you.
