Lean in

The fear of making the wrong choice can lead to indecisiveness and procrastination. This can impact everything.

From simple daily choices to major life decisions, it can cause stress and hinder progress.

Don’t shy away from decisions. Lean in to the discomfort, and see what you’re capable of.

Two months

Nearly two months of daily posts.

Not for the bench mark. Not even that I think I’ve said something worth saying. Yet.

But it will come. As with all ideas, it just takes time to sort through the cruft.

The early sales aren’t always the important ones

Yes, early sales can provide crucial feedback. But those people whom you think are trusting you? They’re like;y just the early adopters, trying something out. They won’t stick. Unless your product is really good. Like, really.

But, that doesn’t mean you get discouraged. Use these interactions to refine your product or service.

Following that, your sales might be more indicative of your long-term success.

Writing can be a joy

For me, it’s something that I do for myself, though I get to share it.

In the moment, though, it’s private and joyous. Though there are times of uncertainty, it nearly always leads to a feeling of accomplishment.

We all have at least one thing like that. An activity that brings us joy.

I have friends for whom it’s music – playing the piano or singing. Others take joy in creating computer programs or telling stories.

Find your thing, then devote time to it.

What do you want to know

Now, more than in other time before it, information is ready accessible, all you have to do is ask.

The internet provides an endless resource of more knowledge, opinion, and content than we ever thought possible.

And it all starts in a search box.

So what do you want to know.

What truth isn’t

Truth doesn’t mean right or wrong.

Differing perspectives can simultaneously be true, without being in opposition to its opposing point.

Factually, they may be the opposite. But in truth, they are merely shaped by who we are.

Recognizing this allows us to appreciate the richness of human experience and the multifaceted nature of reality.

There’s a concern about showing others your work.

On the one hand, sharing your work with trusted friends, mentors, or online communities can yield constructive criticism. And such feedback can help you identify areas for improvement and gain new perspectives.

Conversely, harsh or poorly delivered criticism can be hurtful and demotivating. It can make someone feel like their work is worthless and discourage them from trying again.

Ultimately, it’s a choice you must make when you’re ready to present your work (either in progress or finished) to others.
