Clarity in Understanding

I feel that the best way to move forward is to understand clarity in the dreams you hold close.

You can’t expect yourself to drive the way forward if you’re not aware of the reasons you push on.

For me, I must balance the things I’d like to be true and the things that simply are.

Keeping these two viewpoints in balance is the way to success.

Sometimes I want things to happen by a certain time in my life, but the flow of life dictates that other things might happen in the time in between.

We must resign ourselves to the flow of fate and life.

To remain unclouded by opposition is the way to be, because obstacles are there to enhance our journey. We can’t ever hope to grow if we aren’t fighting our way forward.

In my personal experience, I’ve learned that things might crop up and disrupt every plan we might have planned months in advance. It hurts to admit it, but sometimes we must just let things go with the flow of the water.

This coming year, I’m aiming to hit every deadline I set for myself, because it’s disappointing to have to face missed opportunities and end goals. My art is my craft, and I can’t help feeling short with myself if I don’t meet every deadline and expectation.

The things that have happened this year have shown me I need to plan for flexibility and life events.

I’m not chained to a date if I don’t have to be, but professionals keep their deadlines sacred, meaning I need to follow through with my end dates as though my life depends on it.

I have a penalty system for myself if I don’t meet them, but that’s something I’ll keep to myself.

I understand the importance of having things work.

Starting in 2026, I’ll have it all figured out enough to hit every deadline.

Perfectionism is one of the reasons things don’t move forward—but I’m grateful that I get to write stories in the first place.

I have utmost clarity for my coming novels and will certainly hit every deadline from now on. Indie doesn’t mean not being professional, after all.

May 2026 be blessed in every way. Things have piled up in such a way that my expectations have been betrayed—but I promise I’ll hit them all from this point forward. Thank you for your patience and for believing in me.

I couldn’t ask for anything else.
