Note to Self !… The Best Advice I Ever Got
And I finally started listening
Every one of us goes through this. There’s no shortage of advice either. Most of it is free, and we know what that’s worth.

Don’t Procrastinate. Don’t Stand Still. Attack.
How right he is. Time to make a move.

“So go ahead. Start.”
There’s nothing to ponder about. Put your head down, and write.
Begin.

Ah yes, the excuses.
I can’t get motivated today, I have nothing to say, and everybody’s favorite, I’m a fraud, a sham. I have no talent for this.
The grand triumvirate! Self-doubt, self-pity, and self-loathing.
