Excited 1.5

Yesterday I cut myself off somewhat short because I fell asleep while I was writing the post. Really, when I wrote that last night, I was excited because I realized with that daily “debate” I have with myself on what to write about, I’ve been doing what Zak Slayback mentioned in the article above. No matter what I write about, I’ve shown up to write every day.

Slayback mentioned that the difference between people who operate on “fuzzy aspirations” and people who actually achieve a goal are the people who develop that habit to move towards it every day. For so long
I fell closer to the latter end of the spectrum, as I’ve never really done anything daily for as long as I have with Medium. I’ve always been one to pick something up and put it down not too long after.

I was excited because I was reminded that I was moving forward. Though I may not have been feeling it lately, I’m much farther along then where I was on January 1st. I’ve created more, learned more lessons than I can count and just Slayback mentioned in the article, I’ve been laying down the groundwork for a better me by doing this everyday.

If success is 80% showing up, I know I’ve been absent for a long time.

I’m here now. And I’m just getting started.

Peace,

J
