Persevere every day

Somerset Maugham wrote: "Every razor has its own philosophy." It means that no matter how trivial the action is, as long as you persist every day, something similar will emerge from it. Something that comes from objective cognition.

This is a sentence from "When I Talk About Running, What Do I Talk About".

Sometimes it’s hard for us to understand why some of our friends insist on doing little things that make us wonder. For example, someone insisted on getting up early every day and riding for more than 3,400 days. Some people insist on climbing mountains every day, while others insist on writing 300 words every day.

Haruki Murakami started writing at the age of 29 and kept at it all the way. He started running at the age of 32 and never stopped. On his way to becoming a good and distinguished novelist, running began to become a metaphor. A metaphor similar to a source of inspiration.

In a circle of friends where most people are intermittently complacent and constantly eating and waiting to die, those who persevere and do not mess up the rhythm are like a breath of fresh air. This stream of clear water wakes us up while we are still sleeping soundly, or we turn a blind eye and automatically skip it when scrolling through our Moments.

The editor asked me to write an article about how to avoid becoming a positive loser. I thought about it for a long time, but there seemed to be no other way but to persevere every day.

Every day is an investment, but the losses are not that obvious. How do you plan to spend the day? To get more returns? Where to invest your limited energy and attention to achieve better output. These are investments.

It is not the triumphant progress that we promise every year that makes us who we are today, but the little things we insist on every day that define who I am and where I will go.

So, I started to feel a little ashamed and stopped updating the official account for one and a half months. No matter what the reason was, it actually meant that I didn’t persist. There are often people reading in the background, asking questions, and wanting me to update. But once the rhythm is disrupted, it becomes difficult to continue.

I started combing. The three-minute heat is both my strength and my weakness. I must admit. The three-minute fever made me full of curiosity about the world, so I would quickly dabble in various fields and achieve a level higher than those around me, and then go to other fields to play.

The three-minute heat is also a shortcoming of mine. I did not continue to polish my skills and force myself to produce something. I tend to do whatever I want, never forcing myself or forcing myself to do anything. If you want to write, then write, if you want to draw, then draw, if you want to take photography, then take photography. Or do nothing and let yourself rest for a while.

On Mother's Day the day before yesterday, I was sorting out my belongings and found a notebook, which was a diary written to Qiqi during her pregnancy. Every page is carefully written with letters to Qiqi. I think I am a person who really likes to write. Writing may really be called my hobby, because it is my dream. I can type out thousands of words just by talking casually in front of the computer. You are completely out of your control. You can write whatever you think in your heart.

I obviously like it and it is a hobby, but I always refuse to write because it is not suitable for publication. Maybe it’s because of the personality in the workplace, or because I don’t want to affect others. In fact, I forgot that no matter how trivial it is to write it down, as long as I write it, maybe I will not escape. I know that I am escaping, escaping from possible risks and realities that I dare not face. In fact, writing it down may be the path to self-discovery and self-salvation.

Now that we know that writing is a hobby, a dream, and an important thing, it should be best to do it every day. Because I am defined by what I do every day. So I have been writing every day recently, and having long self-talk every day, which has become more enjoyable.

They persisted every day, they painted every day, and trained deliberately every day, so every day brought surprises and gains. Slowly moving from small characters to big scenes, I continued to break through myself and became a child illustrator.

So what does painting mean to me? I think painting is a hobby for me and is used for leisure. Painting makes me forget time. In the process, I begin to relax, similar to a kind of meditation. It can heal me and slow down my emotions. Calm down slowly.

So, if I am tired from reading, writing, or working, I can draw, so that I can have a good balance between work and rest, so that my brain will not be tense all the time, and I can allow myself to properly Restore mental strength.

Finally, that leaves photography.

There was originally a photoshoot trip in May with a group of parents and children, but it was later canceled due to training. Now that I think about it, I have less and less time to hold my camera.

Thinking about it carefully, photography may have been a hobby or interest for me before. I think it should be defined as a skill now. In financial summary, I always see that this skill brings Giving me an income, it started to become my money-making skill. I am always increasing my income through photography, teaching, and writing related articles. So from the beginning, I knew photography was a skill that helped me solve the dilemma of being a stay-at-home mom.

Therefore, as long as you put on your camera and go out, you can make money.

It’s just that I don’t want to start it just to make money.

After sorting out these. I got three formulas about my hobbies and skills:

1-Writing is a hobby and a dream, keep doing it, and stick to 300 words a day;

2-Drawing is Hobby is leisure, a kind of relaxation and meditation, it will make me emotionally stable and heal myself;

3-Photography is a skill, you can make money, you need to finish the book, and then write the text about children's photography over.

In fact, no matter what you like, since you know that it is important in your life, it is best to do it every day, so that you can live the life you want and become the person you like. .

Because only persistence every day, no matter how insignificant, will make some subtle differences. Every day of your life defines who you are, how you are different, and whether you are happy or not.

The above are some of my short thoughts. Do you also have any thoughts about yourself? Welcome to leave a message.
