Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Today, everything is back to usual, I’m on my regular sleep schedule and my mood has balanced out after a few behind-the-scenes issues had me bouncing back and forth between the verge of mania-inducing optimism and a slight sense of hopelessness as I waited to see how things would play out.

The issue at hand was more of a mini-hurdle in the way of some of the advancement that I’ve been making as of late that caused me to stumble a bit without sending me to the ground. Believe me, once I delve into this issue more at a later date, you’ll see that it’s by no means a big deal and neither were my mood swings.

This wasn’t like how I could get in the past where one day I would feel like I could take on the entire world only to end up struggling to the point where I could feel like I was already dead. Thankfully, the swings haven’t traveled that distance in quite a while. I think the source of my ups and downs plays into both yesterday's and today’s assignment where I’m supposed to explore the idea that everything is impossible if no effort is made.

Both lessons point out how you may as well be as ambitious as you please because, succeed or fail, the benefit will be that you’ve learned. As far as day to day living goes, I’m pretty content with doing the bare minimum to get by in order to free up my time to be as ambitious as I can with my personal projects and often feel like I’m in over my head but I think that’s what creates my drive.

Yesterday’s assignment focused on the idea of how attempting the impossible leads to learning no matter what the outcome may be as opposed to staying in your comfort zone by doing the same exact things. I fully agree with this and it’s why I often throw myself into the deep end when I develop my ideas. I feel this is how my writing improves by leaps and bounds every year. At the same time, I feel like this is why I have a stockpile of first drafts that I hope to revisit one day when I feel like I have the skills for the end product to match what I see in my head.

Today’s assignment is more straightforward as it simply points out how everything is impossible until it’s not so you may as well give any interest a shot. Again, this statement really rings true to me but you’ll have to wait for tomorrow’s update to see how I handle the task at hand. Until then, I’m going to wrap this up as usual by saying, good day and good luck to you and all of your projects.

Talk to you soon.

Sincerely,

The Wicker Breaker
