Here is the deal on how it works

Real life in real time, a photo from yesterday

 

Here is the deal on how it works – what it is like to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts every single day.

The clock is (always) ticking for all of us and there are constant, important things to be done. This is why some days the posts are particularly inspiring and others days not so much.

Sacrificed running yesterday for writing and book deadlines. Right now I’m hitting the ‘save this post button’ and going for a run. Car mechanic by 8:00am and it’s 30 minutes away. Will finish the other three posts later.

You know the feeling right?

There is an emotional labor to the big things in our life

It took two days and serious thought to write something so brief

 

There is an emotional labor to the big things in our life. And it makes us physically tired. And we need to figure this out. Otherwise we will quit.

The pressure of a book deadline. The reality of having a teenager. Travel. Potential, looming war in Syria. Aging parents. Tragedy amongst friends.

Walked 50 minutes yesterday instead of running 30 minutes. Just did not feel like running (nor walking really). But I walked anyway. It was a decent compromise and I’ll take it.

Heck yes it is challenging and simply easier to quit

Heck yes it is challenging and simply easier to quit. Duh.

Without a million reasons to not quit we are doomed to quit.

One foot in front of the other, day after day, after day.

It is difficult.

It is repetitive.

It is boring.

It is glorious.

It is rewarding.

It demonstrates personal integrity.

And yet quitting will always be easier.
