#280 Sway with the day-to-day
ByLukasCan’t write at your usual time? Sway, and write later in the day anyway.
A work project doesn’t go your way? Sway, remember your ultimate goal, and keep going anyway.
Can’t go for your usual run because your knee hurts when you woke up? Sway, realize there are more ways to prepare for a marathon than just running, then do a prep session anyway.

When things don’t go your way, sway – but find a way to make progress anyway.

ByLukasWhen I’m inspired, I write.
When I’m over the moon, I write.
When I’m frustrated, I write.

When I’m angry, I write.
When I’m so overwhelmed I don’t want to do anything at all, I write.

#202 Proving yourself right
ByLukasThe future I want to see affects the present I create.
And so does the future I don’t want to see.
Do I let fear of what could go wrong reign my day?
Or excitement about what could be?
Whatever I choose, I may well end up proving myself right.
#374 Chasing the right quick wins
ByLukasThere’s nothing wrong with chasing quick wins, as long as you define them well.
Because the first quick wins are usually internal and invisible.
Only when you’ve won some battles against the inner critic who wants you to give up do the external quick wins kick in.
And that’s how it’s supposed to be.
#428 I can. And so can you.
ByLukasI write every day, because I can. And so can you.
I don’t run every day, even though I could. And so could you.
Whether our mind allows us to see it or not, we always can.
We always have the time.
