Making Things Difficult
In a recent conversation with several people about blogging, I realized that I’ve been making things unnecessarly difficult for myself by requiring that my blog posts be about 500 words long. Of course I’ve read other people’s posts that are shorter, but I never made the connection that mine could be shorter too.
I know I’m not the only person who makes things more difficult than they need to be, but I’m the one I know the best.
For a long time I thought that work was supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, it didn’t count, I thought: it wasn’t worthy somehow. Once I became aware of that thought pattern, I was able to see that it didn’t serve me, and I started the process of learning how to allow things to be easier, which is turning out to be a lifelong process.
This is iteration number 99 of “it doesn’t have to be difficult.” My posts at this blog can be be as long or as short as they need to be.
