Would You Keep Writing with an Empty Biro?

Imagine this: you're sitting down to write a letter, a to-do list, or maybe even to doodle some dreams in your journal. You pick up your biro and start scribbling, but nothing comes out.

You press harder, shake it, scribble furiously on the edge of the paper… still nothing.

Would you keep going, hoping that one day ink might magically appear? Or would you toss it aside and reach for a new pen that flows easily, allowing your words and ideas to come to life?

It sounds silly when we talk about a pen, but we often do this in our own lives without realising. We keep trying to "write" our stories using habits, beliefs, jobs, relationships, and activities that have run out of ink long ago. We push and push, convinced that if we just try harder, something will change.

But here's the thing, just like the empty biro, these parts of our lives no longer serve us. They no longer bring us joy, growth, or fulfilment. And yet, we hang onto them because they feel familiar. Because we fear the blank page.

What if, instead, you chose to pick up a new pen? What if you released that outdated belief that you have to "stick it out" or "make it work," and instead allowed yourself to explore new opportunities, new ways of thinking, new activities that light you up?

Life isn’t about forcing the ink to come out of an empty pen. It’s about finding what flows naturally, what feels aligned, and what makes you excited to write your story every single day.

So today, I invite you to reflect:
✨ Where in your life are you still holding onto an empty biro?
✨ What new "pen" or new perspective, habit, or path — is waiting for you to pick it up?

You deserve a life that feels joyful, purposeful, and flowing, not forced. It’s time to start writing your next chapter with fresh ink.
