If we do not make the choice in how we define success, we are lost.

Being the beacons of our own truth is never the default option; it is a choice.
To write when you can.
Five minutes is enough to get started. Sometimes, our unrealistic expectations of the writing process leads us to believe that things need to be perfect, with everything in its place. That kind of thinking weighs us down.
When we have a distinct idea of what success look like, successes of other types tend to occur that are unrelated.
Interestingly, these other successes are most likely the result of the work you do in pursuit of your own true goal.
