We all know the brand line of McDonald's. And it is ok to love your hamburger. How about considering using this tag line for the things we do in life? Creating a context of care and love on any excellent hobby or skill can alter the experience of learning that art. If we love something unconditionally, we will not expect quick-wins or any wins form it. This allows us to be in oneness with the thing we like to do. We will not count the hours spent on it. One starts finding different resources to learn about that art, to know more from the experts and to get inspiration from observation in life.

When I started writing, it was not a joyful thing, to begin with. Writing is a lonely process. Many times there is no new idea. It's just the blank empty page staring at me. Here there can be several approaches to take this hobby ahead. I chose to create the context of "I'm lovin it". Love is a verb, not a feeling. When love is a verb, the lover takes actions. Some of my initial steps were superficial. I brought a new notebook and a fountain pen. I knew this wouldn't help, but I did it just for the love of it. The next step was to take a small action. And one step at a time. Thus, I started writing short posts/ tweets. This gave me the courage and confidence to keep up with my writing. Even though not appreciated by others, some things that came from my heart were still fulfilling to me. Then I started putting more time in reading about writing. I participated in forums, wrote blog posts and explored long-form writing. The more time I spent, the move I started loving the process of writing. It is still not easy to write, but now that I love it, it is simple.
