Do what you have to do, until you can do what you want to do.

I saw it coming but didn’t want to admit I’d be labelled that way. You know the times when my writing took precedence over some random get-together or the constant demands from some friends who want to see you drunk, although you have a writing session that same night and need to be sober? After a while, they get the message that you may be on a different path. And not all of them will appreciate your journey of self-discovery. You may think they would understand what you’re trying to do as friends.

Nope.

So, the calls stopped coming, and the invitations dried up. It may not have been overtly expressed, but you have become unsexymy friend and dull in their eyes.

It May Not be Sexy but it Gets the Job Done.

In a world enamoured by glamour and immediate gratification, we forget about the potential in life's unsexy, overlooked corners. The allure of flashy choices and quick fixes often obscures the hidden power of opting for the less glamorous but more impactful paths.

Picture this: a person at a crossroads, facing a decision that could shape their future. The sexy option dazzles with its bright lights and promises of instant fame or pleasure. But off to the side, obscured by shadows, is the unsexy alternative—practical, systematic, and requiring patience. It's the road less travelled, yet it's on this path that the foundation for remarkable success is laid.

Embracing unsexy means you’re waking up to the important. You are attracting what you need to evolve, and that means repelling everything that blocks your path, even if those blockages are your friends and family. As my mum used to say, a bitter pill today leads to a healthier tomorrow. Her generation believed in doing some unsexy shit to get where they need to. I’ve asked myself the question so many times: Why do these things lead to a more prosperous and healthier life?

I don’t know for sure, but they just do.

Eating well is unsexy.

Consistently exercising is unsexy.

The hard slog of writing a book is unsexy.

Reading instead of binging Netflix is unsexy.

Tackling mundane and repetitive tasks Is unsexy.

Meditation is unsexy.

It feels like the good stuff is uncool, and everything else is hurting your soul and brain. Like the Aesop tale of the fox and the sour grapes, 95% of people don't have the discipline, vision, persistence or know-how to do what they should do; instead, they turn up their noses and call it unsexy.

Writing original fiction without succumbing to the lure of the flavour-of-the-times mentality is definitely unsexy. Following the ebb and flow of the marketplace sounds like sound advice, but it's often the unsexy path of crafting original fiction that leads to more meaningful and lasting achievements. Writing from your heart, exploring the ideas that inspire you, and staying true to your artistic vision can result in work that stands out, captivates readers, and has the potential to become a timeless piece of literature.

So, how does one resist the allure of the flashy and embrace the power of the unsexy? It begins with a shift in mindset—a recognition that actual wins are not measured by momentary glory but by sustained growth and impact. The unsexy choices demand patience, discipline, and a willingness to delay gratification. It's a mindset that acknowledges the long game and prioritises enduring substance over fleeting excitement.

So, the next time you're faced with a choice between the sexy and the unsexy, take a moment to consider the deeper implications. Look beyond the allure of instant gratification and assess the potential for lasting impact. Remember that opting for the unsexy may not capture headlines, but it has the power to create a life rich with substance, meaning, and true fulfilment. Beyond the crowd lies a realm of untapped potential, waiting for those brave enough to choose the unsexy and win in ways that truly matter.

In a culture that celebrates the sensational, choosing the unsexy is an act of rebellion and its understanding that the rewards of hard work, consistency, and resilience often far outweigh the brief thrill of the sparkling alternative.
