When I need motivation
with the writing,
I’ll often go to my book page
on my website.
I’ll gaze at all of the covers
and remember the struggles I had
with those stories
and how I overcame them.
When I need a kick in the ass
with blogging,
I’ll look at the sidebar
and see the months and months of posts.
I’ll remind myself
that I’ve never missed a day
and I don’t want that to change.
When one of my buddies
gets irritated with her high paying day job,
she’ll pull out her investments,
reminding herself
how she’s close to making her financial goals
and how that day job is helping her
do that.
Figure out a way
to make your progress visible.
Seeing really IS believing.
