Cappuccino and fungi, who would have thought that they would make an aesthetically pleasing combination. But through simple combinations we can be creative and let content flow from our everyday experiences. The trick about it is having that mindset to see the beauty in the moment and capture it without interrupting that actual moment.
At times I find leaning to the extremes of the spectrum; being too focused on the content or forgetting about the content all together. The middle ground, the sweet spot is what I realize I should find and writing this post is making me realize that.
Over the past couple of weeks there has been a tsunami of content I could have captured: Korean dining, Brazilian night clubbing, street food in Japan, sporting events, real estate and more. But at that moment my mind was not on content creation and that is ok. Not everything needs to be turned into content and in the days ahead I will be more conscious of finding the middle ground where I capture the moment and enjoy it as well.
And then there is the matter of:
“ is this content going to bring value to anyone”
“Will I enjoy the process of creating the content or am I only doing it to earn some magical internet money?
The truth is I have a lot of content in draft brewing but just haven’t got around to posting them. Lack of time is an excuse but it is a damn good one in my case. The truth is, I just don’t feel like it. I am tired from work, family life and other engagements I have been up to. I am grateful for the experiences but it does take its toll. Just last weekend I was in a tug of war tournament ( that could have been content for the Sports Community).We practiced 2- 3 times a week for an hour. We won and of course the victory party that ensued was full of drinks and food ( that could have been content for the foodie community or DashOut Sunday in Reggaejahm).
Like I get it when people say show up everyday and make a post but I am not at that place at this point in time. As I type this I am at work with a little free time before the “circus” begins. And there goes the “circus” bells. If I had the time If I had the vibe, I would be making way more content but you know what, I am content with the content I have been creating. I’ll ramp things up in time on my own time.
Oh the cappuccino? I had that after a meal at an Italian restaurant with my wife and youngest ( that meal could have been content too).
