The Bountiful Patch
You can increase your surface area for good luck by taking action. The forager who explores widely will find lots of useless terrain, but is also more likely to stumble across a bountiful berry patch than the person who stays home. Similarly, the person who works hard, pursues opportunity, and tries more things is more likely to stumble across a lucky break than the person who waits. - James Clear
If there’s one quote that has helped me more than anything else, it’s this one.
I’ve had lucky breaks mainly through the form of insights in this journey of healing. This has been a result of taking action and not being stuck in my head.
Just recently, I was having yet another overwhelming day up until evening. At a point, my mind was able to calm down slightly and I decided to use that momentum to go and break a sweat through a game of badminton. Initially it was challenging, but as I persisted, the warrior in me broke through the intrusive thought that was bothering me.
I took massive action and I stumbled across a bountiful patch. I didn’t wait.
When we keep the pressure upward, life rewards us in ways we can’t imagine. Any goal that can seem impossible at first, becomes possible only through taking action. A small win happening on a frequent basis will then add up to a massive breakthrough.
