1. Stop Defining Your Writing in Terms of the Future.
All of your writing goals are things in the future.
The book you’ll write when you’re ready. The blog you’ll start when you have enough ideas. The publication you’ll later be a part of when you have more experience. The things you’ll all do later.
Does any of it even matter?
What about now?
The work you do now will forever build your momentum.
Not today, not tomorrow, not this week or next month or years down the road, but right now… it always comes down to the writing you’re doing in this moment right now to fuel your growth.
These moments add up to a landslide in the long-run. But you can’t get stuck in future thinking if you want to be a writer now.
The only way to be a writer now is to write now. Everything else is just a shadow, a flick of dust designed to distract you from the work at hand you must do now , and never later.
What if you had the courage to only do the work you love?
How much happier would you be? What separates the people who have the courage and those who don’t? Vulnerability. Accepting that they’re good enough to do the work that gives their life meaning.
1percentbraver.com is a community of people all ready to accept that they’re good enough. They get access to an online magazine that tackles problems like maintaining peak personal performance and how to promote yourself. They also get access to a recorded interview with a person of influence who’s used their vulnerability to empower instead of weaken themselves.
