Thoughts From The Long Path

All Work that you do will take a toll on you, no matter what work you decide to do.

Whether it is work you Love or Hate, Enjoy or Despise, find Inspiring or drains your Soul — All work will take some sort of toll.

It is simply part of Energy (Mg-ATP) cycles we all have.

Highs and Lows.

It also ties into which Thoughts you give Energy and Attention to.

No matter how Positive your Mindset, how Meaningful your Work, and how Talented you are, at some point you will get struck with Melancholy.

The first thing you need to understand is that it is alright, there’s nothing wrong with you, it’s simply a part of being Human.

All Emotions have Purpose.

All Emotions have something they are trying to tell us.

This includes Melancholy.

Today I experienced that Melancholy.

On one of the platforms I publish to, I noticed something.

Some of the promising writers who were doing well simply fell off their streaks.

Poof, the Progress they had is gone.
