Day 117...Two Basic Principles That Will Make or Break Your Success
Welcome to Day 117... It's the day after... You would think the world had come to an end when the internet connection crashed at our house late yesterday. I'm hoping it will all be resolved by tonight. Anyway on to today's post... In Day 15 I wrote about getting my writing groove back on track. When things had slowed down for me, I quickly realized I needed to get back...back to building positive momentum, setting goals, scheduling writing time, writing first above other to-dos, going for balance and keeping healthy habits. And for the past few days I did. The end result? Well aside from moving my story much further along, I had a renewed energy and was in a great mood. So I have to say...the past 2 days have been good in the writing department and if 2 days of good constitute a groove then I'm happy to report the groove is back - for now at least. I'm looking to continue the streak and stay on target...so stay tuned.
And here's something else I wanted to share with you... It's an idea that occurred to me while I was trying to get myself back into focus. I realized that two basic principles can really make or break your journey of success... What are they?
Well, the first is simply Showing Up. Which means making and keeping your commitment to your writing goals. The second principle? Showing Up with Purpose. Bringing an energy, a can do and I will do attitude to your project. Even when your just not feeling it. That's all for now, except for Today's Takeaway Lesson...
