THE BLANK PAGE

It was 11:34 PM, two nights ago. I sat quietly in the dark starring at a blank page on my phone's notebook with a little caption: “WHAT I ACHIEVED TODAY”.
It would take forever to think of one simple thing i achieved. I replayed everything i did in my head, from morning to night, hoping to find just one thing i would be proud to have achieved, but to no avail.

Worst case? I'd been busy all day, to the point i couldn’t pick some calls. I got so tired and rushed home to rest only to find after the day’s busyness, i simply achieved nothing.
  
To really pocket the fact that after a whole bustling day, I can't account for one thing i can boast to have learned or achieved  that is of value, was a hard pill to swallow.

But i realized then that most times i've lived in such state of oblivion that i find myself doing a lot of things but can't account for the results. I had to take a hard look at it.

i do feel at a point that we’ve been so baptized into the 'hard work pays' mentality that we forget what truly counts; RESULT. 

if this article pushed a nostalgic button in you, then i guess we're in this together and we've got some work to do right? 

 PS: If you haven't thought of taking a constant inventory of your life, i suggest you start immediately, hence you'd drop an elephant to chase after a mouse(to leave the important things for trivial ones).

    You know what's worse? The day you figure this out, you realize it's almost turning habit.
