The Courage to Face the Blank Page
To write on this blog, I need to do a lot of self-reflection and research. I have skipped many days where I did not write a single post. Writing on this blog can be stressful at times. The stress comes from looking at the blank screen with a blinking cursor.
There are days where my mind is as blank as the screen. I have tried to get ideas from prompt engineering. The output feels artificial, and I did not feel good about it.
This blog is personal, and it must have my own voice. If my writing is bad or pointless, so be it. To stay productive, I have to develop the courage to face the blank page. In any pursue in life that is worth doing, we have to do it every day and have the courage to start over every day.
This blog is about my self-development as a father who is in the late forties, trying out a new business and wanting to live the life that he wants, escaping the 9 to 5 hamster wheel cycle.
