Contending against contentment

The ending of one year signals the beginning of another. There are some things we should carry over. Among the most important is our momentum.

Stagnation is the enemy of us all. It is the surety of entropy setting in and reversing the progress we have made. Then, all things are sure to unravel.

If we keep things moving, they cannot be stopped. Inertia is either for or against us. The effort we put forth directly determines what we can accomplish.

Seize every opportunity and hold it fast. Take the initiative, and press towards the goal. In order to remove obstructions, we must face down ourselves.

Be patient as the waves, which incessantly beat against the shore. The obstacles will be washed away. And not by mere force, but through perseverance.

Our actions shall decide the outcome. If you succeed in little, push for more. Contend against contentment, reducing boulders to tiny pebbles.

  1. How can you not see that this 5-year-old blog is the very definition of stagnant? I'm not the only one who thinks so. It honestly feels like, at a glance, I am seeing the same title every single time. It's so goddamn dull, I just wanna rip my hair out.

    Happy New Year! :)

    1. There is nothing new under the sun. A message must be consistent to be relevant. If it changes constantly, then you really have nothing to say.

  2. Indeed we have to keep things moving and make the most of every opportunity. A creative heart is never truly content, to pretend otherwise only makes room for entropy.

    Happy New Year! I wish you the best in everything you do in the coming year.

    1. Contentment saps your energy. There is no motivation to push farther or try harder. Happy New Year, and keep moving forward.
