Trying to come up with something to write about is difficult. It creates a distance between me and the desired outcome, building a perception that the treasure I seek is outside of me.

Finding what to write is an opportunity to discover what wants to be expressed. It’s a reminder that everything of value is already within my possession, simply waiting for me to recognize its presence.

Trying is a grasp for something outside of myself, finding is a dive within. The quality of the experience is the difference between the two.

While both may lead us to similar outcomes, trying keeps us focused on something external for the solution, finding establishes a reference point within ourselves that we can go back to.
