I cannot make a positive change in my life when I’m lying to myself about what I’m doing today that must change.
No matter how crazy a specific thought may feel in the moment, embrace it. Write it down.
What about if you tell yourself you love writing? You can’t wait to finally get to your desk so you can begin doing the thing you love, right?
If you examine your life honestly, you know you’ve never “thought” your way to success in anything.
Failure is only inevitable if we refuse to act; if we refuse to do the things required to achieve our goal.
Writing is my sanctuary in good times and in bad.
Whenever you receive a compliment about something you wrote, simply say, “Thank you.”
If your heart aches to write a book but you haven’t written and published it yet, you know the “agony of bearing an untold story inside you.”
You need your first book to meet a ton of criteria, but becoming a bestseller isn’t one of them.
It doesn’t matter how slowly you go on the road to achieving your dreams, so long as you don’t stop.
If you stop, you run the risk of turning a temporary setback into a permanent defeat.
