Perhaps There's A Better Way

I don't know what to write or how to end an article. I'm hit with an idea and I simply deliberate on it. I know how my stories would end but I don't know how the stories would get there.

I'm not a detail-oriented person, I'm big-picture-oriented. I'm great at envisioning how things would turn out to be. I see A and Z, not usually A to Z. I can sense that A would lead to B without bothering much about the details of how that would happen. It is poor to have a vision without the steps to realize it. I look at myself and see the great dreams I can achieve, rather I lack the details to them.

I have come this far in life with my tiny strides by not knocking it till I try it. I put some reasonable thoughts into a step, I take it and improvise, and recalculate the length of my stride, and this, and that, and then I let it play out. The more details you acquire, the more in control you tend to feel and the more stressed you will become when things don't go your way. On my good days, I simply change directions if I begin to believe that I didn't take the right one. This is easier for me because I didn't invest a lot of "details" into it in the first place.

I haven't gotten that far in life but so far so good. There is a lot of pressure from my ambitions but it translates to lesser stress than it would normally generate because I tend to be content with things not going my way. I rationalize every misstep as life's way of helping me understand that my way isn't the only right one. There might be a better way. There is always a better way to do things. When I take a way, I move with the intention of bettering myself along the way.

When your detailed, mapped-out step fails, perhaps it is the better step revealing itself to you. It might not be enough to improvise within the parameters of your step-by-step plans. Life might require you to improvise outside the corners of your map. And the parameters should be the core of your dream, not the possible achievable size of it. Size changes. I am no longer in the dark. The core of my dream as a writer is to be influential to people I would love and to be respected by them. It is fascinating to see that I am achieving these with way fewer readership than I initially thought I'd need to have before people would take me seriously. Astonishingly, the satisfaction I have now with a much lesser readership is just as great (if not even more) as the satisfaction I envisioned I'd get when I become a respectable author by having a huge readership.

If I had buried my head deep in the details, I may not have raised my head and realized that I am already at the center of the core of my dreams. And now it is with less stress that I try to expand this core, gladly making strides with the glow of this satisfaction. I am no longer in the dark.

Look up and away from the maps and charts. Sometimes, the subtle scene might just take your breath away.

Letting the AI play

So I recently requested and got added as one of the early users to try out this new writing tool type.ai

You should also try it out.

Type is an AI-first document editor that helps you write remarkably fast.

I wanted to see what this letter would look like if I had the AI generate it so I entered "I'm not a detail-oriented person, I'm big-picture-oriented. I'm great at envisioning how things would turn out to be. I see A and Z, not usually A to Z. I can sense that A would lead to B without bothering much about the details of how it would happen." And I typed this into the command box "Expand this into 1000 words "

Below is what it generated, unedited. Is this a very good, good, or decent imitation of my writing style?

Oh, and it also generated a title for it.

The Power of Big-Picture Thinking

I'm not a detail-oriented person, I'm big-picture-oriented. I'm great at envisioning how things would turn out to be. I see A and Z, not usually A to Z. I can sense that A would lead to B without bothering much about the details of how it would happen.

Being big-picture-oriented is a great asset. It allows me to look at the world in a different way than a detail-oriented person would. Instead of getting caught up in the details of how something works, I'm able to look at the broader implications and possibilities. This allows me to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to problems.

For example, when I'm presented with a problem, I'm able to quickly identify the root cause and come up with a plan of action. I'm able to look at the big picture and see how the various pieces fit together. I'm able to focus on the end goal and make decisions that will help me get there.

I'm also able to think in terms of the long-term. I'm able to see how my decisions today will affect the future. I'm able to think ahead and anticipate how things might play out. This allows me to make decisions that are not only in the best interest of the present, but also the future.

Being big-picture-oriented also allows me to think in terms of possibilities. Instead of getting bogged down in the details, I'm able to see the potential in a situation. I'm able to think of ways to make something better or to take it in a new direction. I'm able to think of creative solutions that might not have been considered before.

Finally, being big-picture-oriented allows me to see the world in a different way. Instead of getting stuck in the same old patterns, I'm able to look at things from a different perspective. I'm able to see the bigger picture and think of ways to make things better.

Being big-picture-oriented has allowed me to be successful in many areas of my life. It has allowed me to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to problems. It has allowed me to think in terms of the long-term and anticipate how my decisions today will affect the future. It has allowed me to think of possibilities and come up with creative solutions that might not have been considered before. And finally, it has allowed me to see the world in a different way and think of ways to make things better.
