Ever sit down to write and think..."I got nuttin" ...but you've committed to yourself to do it every day?
Maybe it's just me.
It happened when I was thinking about what to write for you today.
Luckily, there is a wonderfully fun practice you can engage in whenever you feel this way.
Start with the not wanting to do it.
Literally you're reading in real time this practice.
I've been on lots of calls today and sitting down to do anything else wasn't tremendously appealing - yet I set out to master my craft, and I'll be damned if I don't honor my word.
Then, something interesting happens. Your brain moves on.
It unlocks the previously dammed off flood of ideas and words.
You're able to disarm the "writer's block" - which is a fictional term created by people who don't want to write through their bad writing days.
Every great [[Watching the master|craftsperson]] more than likely has a trail of devastation behind them from their past work which most of them never show the world.
Every successful person has probably suffered an endless number of failures in one way or another to get to where they are.
If they don't they're either a prodigy or too early in the process for any meaningful data.
If they are a prodigy, best of luck and god speed to them. Hopefully they can push humanity forward and not live a life of despair.
If they're just too early, then let's check back in with them in a decade and see.
At the end of the day, you will face times when you don't wanna do the thing you said you were gonna do. In those moments, you choose whether you're a professional or an amateur.
Who do you want to be?
