Thanks for the reply and your thoughts. I don’t think my brother or father are advocating complacency at all. So not sure how you got this from the post to be honest. But I do agree being complacent is not the answer.

Also I don’t think we can ever achieve the exact life we want. Exact is such a precise word. But yes if we don’t attempt to pursue something we want we will never know what could of been and that will leave us with regret.

The whole post is really just about letting things flow and not fighting so hard. Sometimes it is the best way (not the only way).

Nothing is set in stone and whilst I do want to keep writing and keep the blog alive, I want to remain open to other opportunities. Sometimes we lose sight of this when we are so fixated on one thing.

And whilst writing when inspired is ideal, writing does require hard work I guess. I can’t hope to always be inspired. But I always try my best with whatever I undertake.

And yes I have put in lots of hard work here so I do want to keep what I’ve created alive. I just want to take the pressure off.

Cheers
Nick

It’s never a bad thing to reground yourself and take it easy. That being said I don’t particularly agree with your father or brother. I think being complacent is the exact opposite of what you should be doing. Complacency will leave you five years down the road with regret if its not the exact life you want. You have lots of goals and you should strive for them such as traveling etc. Working a full time job AND committing to writing full time is difficult. I don’t commit to any schedule, I aim for once a week. If I have inspiration to do more I do more. I agree and I think writing when inspired is best. I know you’ve been working hard on your blog and writing alot as well as creating a community around it.
