JUST DO IT

Over the beginning of this year, for quite some long time i had been feeling pretty unwell about how things were going in my life. I had lost interest in many things i used to enjoy, I just felt quite demotivated about life.

But, I always feel very grateful that Allah has given me an inspiration that comes in and out all the time from unexpected ways and places – but i find myself often taking that gift for meaningless. Inspiration would come to me and i’d be like “Ah, I want to learn German”,“Oh, I want start a journal”,“I want to make my own novel” and so on.

I happened to say  “I want...” way too much that it became a habit of only wanting to do what i was inspired about. The Inspiration stayed ideas because i didn’t actually realize it into reality. I’d always be like, “I’m not in the mood of it”,”Let me just do something else before I get to that’,”I’ll do it tomorrow”.

Reflecting back, I feel like, more or less, this habit of not realizing my ideas must had taken a role in the reason of why I felt demotivated about life. It all happened only in my head – the bright light, the hope, the ambition – it all stayed that way because I didn’t make enough effort to do what I wanted to do.

 So at the very fresh start of this month, I decided dare myself to try out new things! And Hello, My name is Atthaya Salwa, an Indonesian girl who had been growing up as a very curious for the whole 17 years of her life so far. Trying out new things had always been a very intriguing idea for me, but as once Guy Kawasaki said : “Ideas are easy. The implementation is hard.”

Then, I started to ask myself: what’s actually stopping me to achieve it?

I kind of struggled to answer this very essential question at first. Now, I realized that sitting around just wondering about whay I could do without actully doing any action to achieve it would definitely be one of the biggest answer to that question – I kept making excuses on not to act on the idea until the inspiration itself faded.

So yesterday I just told my self loudly to shut the freaking up and go create a blog like I’ve always wanted to. I told myself to stop making an excuses and JUST DO IT.

As more and more I say JUST DO IT to myself whenever inspiration come to me, I feel like I have achieved more things. So I’m glad to say that you are reading the very first post of my “finally..” blog.

All the love. x
