Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens.
— Ray Bradbury
This idea is so small. So obvious. And it’s changed my life. Bradbury’s quote became my motto in 2016. It was supposed to be a one-year thing, but it just stuck. I couldn’t find anything better or more appropriate. I couldn’t find anything I wanted to do more with my life. So here I am, going into my fifth year with the same guiding light. The same compass. Write. Read. See what happens. That’s it.
Your Turn: What’s your motto for 2021? Use Bradbury’s quote to inspire your own daily paragraph.
