What I do when I am struggle to find what I need

Getting Started, On certain days, it's as if it's all wrong, Your body is exhausted when you arise.
Everything on your list seems impossible, You no longer feel enthusiasm for activities that used to interest you.
The difficult part is that you constantly questioning yourself if it's all worth it.

I’ve been there more times than I’d like to acknowledge.
Staring at the fluttering cursor. Questioning if I’m built for this. Wondering if development is truly possible when the whole world feels like it’s pushing against you.

But here’s what I’ve learnt, improvement doesn’t happen just when you feel good.
Real progress typically begins when you choose to move forward despite the barriers.


1. I Shrink the Task Until It’s Too Small to Resist

When life feels heavy, the last thing I can do is tackle a mountain.
So I quit pretending.

I break things down into the smallest possible step:

Write one sentence instead of an article.
Read one page instead of a book.
Send one email instead of cleansing the inbox.

The funny thing? That one step nearly usually leads to the next. Momentum hides inside modest movements.

2. I Stop Waiting for Motivation

Motivation is fickle.
If I waited to feel like it, I’d still be trapped where I was last year.

Instead, I learnt to lean on discipline and ritual. I remind myself, " Just start for five minutes." Most commonly, those five minutes turn into thirty.

Progress isn’t based on motivation, it's built on habits that carry you when your emotions can’t.

3. I Let Go of Perfection

A big reason nothing seems right is that we secretly crave perfection.
We want the perfect words, the ideal technique, the appropriate timing.

I had to remind myself when I was better than perfect.
Messy progress beats flawless stagnation.
Every draft I post, every poor attempt, it all accumulates, and in that compounding, I find my development.

4. I Reconnect With My Why

When everything seemed pointless, I halt and think Why did I start?

To build independence, to make my family proud, or To prove to myself I could accomplish this.

That WHY becomes my anchor.
It doesn’t erase the difficult days, but it gives me a cause to push through them.

As Friedrich Nietzsche famously said

He who has a reason to live can bear practically any way.

5. I Accept That Progress Is Often Invisible

The cruelest thing about development is that you can’t always see it.
You might be showing up every day, yet it feels like nothing’s changing.

But development is like compound interest; it grows gently, then all at once. Looking back, I see the days I believed I was getting nowhere were actually creating the framework for the breakthroughs that occurred later.

When nothing feels right, it’s easy to believe improvement isn’t possible.
But I’ve discovered it is. It only seems different: smaller, slower, even invisible.

The secret is to keep moving anyhow. One sentence, one step, and one flawed action at a time.

Because if you just work when you feel well, you’ll never get far. But if you learn to move forward when nothing feels right, that's when you become unstoppable.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, remember that you’re not alone. Start small today and take one step, but write one line and send one message.

Tomorrow, do it again and see how those little steps turn into a route forward.
