1. Writing every day

For a long while, I have been interested in people committed to their craft. Day in day out they turn up.

There’s something quite special about that.

I sometimes find myself in somewhat of a helpless state, not sure what I can do, what purpose I’m serving.

Yet recently I’ve been recognising it is the daily routines that we find ourselves distinguished from one another. It exposes our mindset, where, and who we want to be.

I definitely fall short in most things in life but simply the process of sitting at my desk each day is something I recognise as something that will make me proud.

I think this is because it simply defies what is ‘normal’ these days.

Technology, media, and society are so fast we can’t keep track of it all. This culture promotes immediacy over anything. The result being we have is an inability to sit still, stay focused and remain consistent with what we say we will do. I recognise it in me all the time- “It gets boring. It gets hard. It requires effort.” - quality sacrificed for speed.

I don’t like myself when I get comfortable.

The idle, self-loathing, perfectionist.

Objectively, though turning up each day you are indisputably contributing to bettering yourself for the long term.

So here I venture on to fight the demons telling me I am not good enough. Doing my bit each day.

If anything just using as it a reflective time for me and tackling the world and its enormity.

I also want to be able to reveal a new sense of honesty and authenticity. When you do something for a short time it’s easy to put on a facade of how others do it.

Daily practice does not allow for duplicates.

So I also hope this process refines who I am and exposes who I am.

For those who’ve also read my previous work, I hope to lean more into this considered, reflective writing style instead of the copy and paste self-help spiel I find myself sometimes writing about. There’s plenty of other more talented and qualified people who can tell you how to be more productive with your life.

Writing every day is first and foremost is for me. I have to be able to fall in love with the process, to be honest with myself, to move towards the person I want to be. Saying this doesn’t negate the fact that I hope it helps and inspires you.

Why not join me for at least 30 days?

See what change in yourself occurs.

Don’t wait for lightning to occur, nor for billion-dollar ideas to strike you down. Work on whatever you care about daily… or don’t.

See you tomorrow.
