“Change happens slowly, then all at once.” –Jay W. Vogt
This has been a big week for me; a big dream come true. My first article just went live on the Huffington Post!!
It’s a really good thing I didn’t know it would take years to realize this dream of writing a column one day. Years of writing hundreds of sh–ty first drafts…
…years of honing, editing, and pitching…
…years of cursing, wailing and wishing…
…years of breaking through… and breaking down… and breaking through…
So whatever your passion is, here are my two cents: go for it.
Whether it is writing the next bestseller, or just keeping your email box moderately tamed.
Just do it.
Do it imperfectly and keep doing it.
Do it even if you have to claw your way up the mountain one bloody step at a time.
Do it because we are all rooting for you to make it to the top of your Mount Everest!
Do it, not because of some desired outcome, but because … your soul depends on it.
p.s. If you could use an inspired lift, the short video below might help close the gap between dream and realizing the dream.
See you on the trail.
