It's about Fun Doodz, yes
Today I wake up with this realization.
Don't go out with an objetive or goal in mind that breaks your freedom-state. It causes you to put too much thought into what would happen... and you've never even started.
This has been my situation with some goals... I used to say "Write 2 songs per day", or "Write 5 songs a day". What I've been doing these recent months is passing all the songs I've written into a single notebook, because the fact is they are all over the place into single pieces of paper or in some pocket journals that I'm used to carry.
Self note: I've not been carrying my pocket journal, what's up with that? Also, to get a small pen is very important
Ok, so what that goal made me do sometimes is I didn't do anything or did not feel a creative drive those days, and I felt forced but not driven to do those tasks. It was losing all the reasons why I enjoyed writing songs and playing them in my guitar afterwards.
The another thing I used to try to do was doing a "bootcamp", and one of it's missions is "go talk to 10 attractive women". This objetive made me not only not make any conversation at all, but not even going out of the house to meet those people and do those conversations. It instantly killed my natural drive to improve, it didn't feel good. In fact, the last day of the mission I broke down a little, cause I just wasn't able to do such a simple thing. There was no fun in doing it.
It all comes down to things that this article talks of:

And I recommend reading this blog http://www.energetic.tk
Note: Begin to put a series of links as a "Blog-Roll" or "Favorite Links"
What to do? Enjoy your journey no matter what, it's about doing fun things, not about getting perfect results or knowing all there is to it before even trying. It's about self growing, it's about fitting to your natural drive to have fun, getting a good adrenaline rush.
