#437 Cut yourself some slack

The easiest path is to miss all days – you never get going in the first place so you don’t know what you’re missing.

The second easiest is to never miss a day – you’ll get where you want to go with little detours, even if you pay the cost of discipline.

The hardest (and most common) path is to miss a couple of days here and there – now you run the risk of getting lost.

We all miss a day sometimes – so we all get a little lost once in a while.

So what do we do?

We remind ourselves why we got started.

We remind ourselves where we’re going.

We remind ourselves that we’ve been lost before – and that we can always get back on track.

I can’t predict what will happen tomorrow – or even today.

But I do know that today, I resolve to write.

And tomorrow I resolve to write once again.

And that resolve has brought me to 439 consecutive days of writing.

439 days of writing, despite living in an unpredictable world.

439 days of realizing most obstacles are excuses.

439 days of proving that resolve can bring you pretty far.
