What Happens When You Keep Going

90 days of posting

Real progress doesn’t feel like progress.

If you only work when you feel inspired, you’ll never get anywhere.

The reward for any creative goal you set is found in the doing, not in the achieving.

I realized as my 90 days of posting is coming to an end, getting here didn’t look the way I thought it would. And that’s kind of awesome.

We’re taught to believe change should be obvious. Creative progress should mean we should be winning Grammys, selling best-sellers, having thousands of followers.

It’s B.S.

Real creative progress looks like

• Showing up when no one’s clapping

• Feeling like nothing’s working

• Celebrating moments with no one but yourself

There were a lot of days I wanted to quit.

Geez, even today is day 87 and a holiday and a Friday and I am straight up TIRED.

But the commitment I made to post daily was laid on the foundation of self trust.

Not performance.

If no one is paying attention, if your results aren’t perfect, if nothing is happening as fast as you’d like… good.

It means you’re doing it right.

Keep going.
