1. I know these were meant to be short. But hang in there
2. This is my photo today, We had a “Canadian party”as one of our friends went to Canada recently and brought back everything good that is Canadian candy, It was amaaaazing and everyone had a bellyache. It made me more excited for my trip home in July then ever before!
3. The reason this is so long…. is because I have been inspired by a blog post I saw yesterday on a site called ” Stuff Christians like ” ( so funny for the record )Ill condense it a little bit. but for the most part its just copy and paste.
Most people have a love or an activity or something in their heart that makes them feel alive and lightheaded. It’s that thing you can do for hours without thinking about food or friends or anything. Time speeds across your head and hands like a bullet train. But there’s a problem.
Most people decide whether or not to pursue their thing every day. They sit down at the computer or the easel and have a discussion with themselves, “Should I do my thing today? Do I feel like it? Is there anything inside me right now that wants to? Is this the right moment? Are there other things I need to do?” And so they argue. Most times, maybe 90% of the time, what Steven Pressfield calls “resistance,” wins. You give up. You never start. You put it off for one more day. You don’t do your thing.
So what I did as a writer was decide to write. I don’t have that conversation with myself everyday because I know I will lose it. I had that conversation once, about two years ago, and I have not looked back. Sure, there are days when it is harder than others and I fail. But for the most part, that is a settled issue. I am a writer. Writers write. They don’t argue about whether to write. They don’t analyze if they will write today or not. They write.
There’s my not-so-secret secret.
Stop deciding whether you will sing or dance or be an accountant or study or play with your kids.
Decide it once and then do it.
The end.
Just so were on the same page. This isnt a claim that I will have this updated every day of my life because the reality is. Im busy. And I wont. But no longer will I choose have that arguement in my head if I am going to take photos today. If I have the chance. Im going to do it. Because its what I love to do.
