Do you ever have one of those days when you feeling like you have nothing productive or intelligent to offer to society? I say this not in a negative way either. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. I mean really, can anyone be expected to be on their game all the time? Should anyone be expected to be on their game all the time?
When I first started this blog, my biggest apprehension was that there would be days when I wouldn’t have anything to write about. If I’m going to post everyday, and people are doing to give me their time everyday, I should have something here for them to read everyday. It’s actually a lot of pressure, and it’s probably unnecessary pressure that I’ve put on myself.
The reality is, we all need a day off. I don’t just mean a day off from work either. I mean, sometimes we all just need to take a day to do absolutely nothing. No work. No thinking. Nothing productive. We just need a day to relax, restore, renew. Productivity is not a constant. Creativity is not a constant. If Shakespeare was allowed to have days when his pen ran dry, then I guess it’s OK for me to. After all… he was Shakespeare! I’m just some random guy. I don’t suspect that my literary offerings will ever be required reading in High School. That’s not to say that it couldn’t happen. Just to say that it’s not something I’ve considered!
So I guess, what I’m really trying to say is, it’s OK to have an off day. It’s OK to wake up in the morning every so often and not feel like getting out of bed or offering anything to the world. It just means when you come back the next time around, you’ll be that much more energized, that much more creative, and be that much more of a blessing. Here is hoping tomorrow I prove this true!
