Blog #536: When It Doesn’t Come Easy

Some weeks my blogs come easy.
Some weeks they don’t.

Some weeks…
I’m hit by an instant idea that inspires a first draft in twenty minutes.

Other weeks…
I’m smashed for six days in a row by an iceberg of giant brain freeze.

Whether it’s digging deep for hard-to-find inspiration, overcoming harsh rejection or looking for the courage to “Go for it!“…I’ve learned to trust three faithful rules:

#2. Trust the process.
#3. Keep chipping away.

We drown in our results when we drown in our actions.
We drown in our actions when we drown in our emotions.
We drown in our emotions when we drown in our thoughts.

Protect your thoughts.

Good thoughts.
Good emotions.
Good actions.
Good results.

One leads to another.

Simple stuff.

Life can be simple.

Me?

I’m sticking with keeping things simple.
I’m able to swim to distant shores more often when I do.

Don’t complicate your something.
Don’t complicate the simple.
