Becoming More Thoughtful and Rational: Life by Percentages

image.png


It is still gloomy and rainy here in my area, the gravitational pull of my bed is so strong that I was afraid that I am failing again. I haven't visited the gym for a week now, however, the other aspects of my life are making progress, the donut business is booming, the syllabi that I am making are 90% complete and, my relationships are getting stronger. Realizing this made me reflect that I should not look at my progress in streaks, rather I should look at it by percentages

Life by Percentages

Greeting HIVE! I am cmmndrbawang, and I wear a lot of hats in life: A streamer, a blog writer, a teacher, a donut maker, and a lover. As I navigate through the diverse roles I play, I have come to appreciate the significance of looking at life by percentages and embracing progress over unbroken streaks. Celebrating life's intricacies and understanding that growth and development are not linear paths. Instead, they are a series of ups and downs, where the key lies in embracing progress and learning from every step along the way.

Capturing Life's Beauty in Progress:

As a blog writer, my passion lies in storytelling and sharing life's wonders with the world. However, the journey of a writer is far from smooth. There are days when creativity flows effortlessly, leading to an abundance of content, while other times, I encounter writer's block. By looking at life through percentages, I have learned to appreciate the ebb and flow of creativity. Each day adds to the percentage of progress in my writing journey, regardless of word count or published articles. Embracing progress over unbroken streaks has allowed me to stay inspired, find new angles, and continue growing as a writer.

Nurturing Minds, One Step at a Time:

As a teacher, I have the privilege of guiding young minds on their educational journey. In the pursuit of academic excellence, students often focus solely on grades and academic streaks. However, I encourage my students to view learning as a continuous process of progress. Embracing this perspective helps them understand that knowledge is not merely a means to an end but a journey that enriches their lives. Each lesson, each assignment, and each effort contributes to their growth as individuals. As a teacher, I celebrate not only their successes but also their efforts and improvements as percentages of progress.

Sharing Experiences, One Livestream at a Time:

As a streamer, I connect with a global audience through live broadcasts, sharing my gaming experiences, insights, and everyday life. In the world of live streaming, maintaining unbroken streaks of viewership or follower counts can become an overwhelming pursuit. By focusing on progress, I have learned to cherish every viewer, no matter how many, and each stream, no matter how long. Embracing progress over streaks has allowed me to stay genuine and authentic, building a supportive community that values the journey together.

Key Learnings that you can also Try

Cultivating a Gratitude Mindset

A focus on progress allows us to develop a mindset of gratitude. We learn to appreciate not only the successes but also the journey itself and the people who accompany us along the way. Gratitude enriches our lives, fostering positivity and contentment even during challenging times. It reminds us that life is a gift to be cherished, and every experience, regardless of its percentage, contributes to our unique and beautiful story.

Breaking Streaks as Stepping Stones

In life, we often set personal goals, hoping to maintain unbroken streaks of success or achievements. However, the pursuit of perfection through unbroken streaks can become a source of undue stress and anxiety. Instead, by focusing on progress as percentages, we allow ourselves to recognize that it's okay to stumble and fall occasionally. In fact, breaking streaks can serve as essential stepping stones for growth. When we learn from our mistakes and setbacks, we become stronger, wiser, and more resilient individuals.

The Power of Incremental Progress

Life's journey is a marathon, not a sprint. We must understand that meaningful progress often comes in small, incremental steps. By appreciating progress as percentages, we learn to value each milestone, no matter how modest it may seem. Even a slight improvement contributes to our overall growth and development. Celebrating progress, regardless of its size, encourages us to stay motivated and focused on our long-term objectives.

Embracing Change and Adaptation

Life is unpredictable, and circumstances can change rapidly. When we fixate solely on maintaining unbroken streaks, we may resist change and fail to adapt to new situations. Conversely, by looking at life through percentages, we acknowledge that change is a natural part of the journey. We learn to embrace it, allowing us to respond positively to life's twists and turns. Through this perspective, we find the courage to step outside our comfort zones and explore new opportunities.

Learning from Failures and Challenges

In our quest to maintain streaks, we might avoid taking risks or confronting challenges that could lead to failure. However, it is vital to understand that failure is a vital aspect of growth. By reframing our perspective and seeing failure as a percentage of learning opportunities, we can extract valuable lessons from our experiences. These lessons help us refine our strategies, gain wisdom, and foster personal growth.


Embracing life's journey through percentages has profoundly impacted my roles as a blog writer, teacher, and streamer. By valuing progress over unbroken streaks, I have cultivated resilience, creativity, and gratitude in every aspect of my life. As you embark on your own unique journey, whether it be in your profession, education, or personal pursuits, I encourage you to embrace this perspective. Celebrate every step forward, learn from the setbacks, and remember that life's beauty lies not in perfection but in the progress we make each day. Let us embark on this adventure together, cherishing every experience, and growing as individuals through life's diverse landscape.

First off, congratulations on the mini victories in life. I do agree we all wear different hats. Therefore, it does help when we examine life in these separate aspects. I kinda do a little of the same thing. That's what my journal helps me with. LOL! Thank you for sharing your life's journey. I think this perspective is worth sharing and others may also learn from it and get to share their journeys too. Happy new week (and new month) ahead!
