Journal-8 111: Trust the signs

” Okay, what I’m gonna tell you is actually a legit piece of diary entry. So, this morning, on our way to my dad’s office, we were having a lil chit-chat in the car. He was telling me about being proficient in our life and some random bits of motivational stuffs. The usual, you know? But today’s convo stood apart like the ones we usually have. He was saying… we shouldn’t be competent in fields that are not our forte. We must identify the skills that we are good at and then, we must strive hard to be the best of it. Be a pro in things that you’re already acing and top that level. Challenge yourself, even if you are the best in the room. Dive deeper into things that are already at your fingertips. This is when the thought of me writing a book came into my mind. And this is exactly when I saw the 111 on a license plate on a car that was ahead of us. I was dumfounded. Honestly, I don’t even recall listening to the rest of the conversation. And you know what’s even weirder? This same evening, I stumbled upon a video on TikTok in which the meaning of 111 was explained. It said that it’s a sign that could be interpreted in two ways. One, it suggests that if we are at a point of dissatisfaction or confused with something, it’s time to let go of it. Second, it also connotes that if we are looking forward to pursue something new or if we want to progress with a creative thought, skill or even an motive, it’s a huge sign that we must go ahead with it. And I am damn sure it’s the latter one. So… in short, I am going ahead with the idea of writing and publishing a book. Wish me luck, y’all!”
