When you’re feeling comfortable…

I’m feeling super comfortable right now. I am in my apartment, it is quiet, no one is bothering me, I am safe.

Usually – at least for me – when I’m feeling good and at peace, I DON’T take time to reflect on these moments because I’m too busy enjoying them.

And when I’m not reflecting, I’m not thinking. And when I’m not thinking I’m not motivated. And when I’m not motivated, I’m not creating. And when I’m not creating, I’m not working.

So that has to change..

Because now when I’m feeling these moments of peace and comfort, especially in this hellscape – I realize now that I am taking this comfort and opportunity from somebody else. I’m exchange for my comfort, someone else has to endure hardship in my place.

And this may happen in vide versa too – when I endure my own hardship, someone gains from it, and remains comfortable; and this is the sort of pain that motivates me to keep working, as well as to never settle.

Some will say this is a negative way of thinking.

But I’ll take that over being naive.
