Seth Godin is a business/marketing guru and I subscribe to his blog. Today's post stuck with me and I'm going to try a little harder to write every single day.
I believe in the power of practice, so I should apply it to writing too. So, even if it's a short post because I don't have a ton to say, even if it's not the most eloquent thing I've ever written, I'm going to write. In the name of unblocking. Getting better. Practice.
And letting go of my notions that I can only post if it's perfect. I have a number of things I've written but never published because I wasn't 100% sure about them. Once we let go, we move on. Sometimes we say things that we aren't sure about, and that leads to an even better conversation. And we grow from the experience. Holding back ensures that nothing happens. Sure, nothing bad happens, but nothing good happens either.
Here's to the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Which, with practice will maybe become the good, the better, and the best.
Thanks, Mr. Godin. It was the push I needed.
