The next 6 months are going to set you up for the rest of your life. I know that sounds a bit urgently dramatic, but the time is now. You have been learning, absorbing, observing, slightly contributing, waiting for something, but still mostly fearful. You’ve been tiptoeing around, half stepping forward then two stepping back, afraid of what you can do. Well, now it’s time for you to be fearfully brave.
In my modest words of wisdom, this is only the first step but probably the most important- You need to find a way to keep your motivation. For years you told yourself “I’ll do it later” and never did. Don’t get me wrong though, I understand more than anyone your ups and downs, but now is the time to do it. That’s all. Take it from me and Nike Inc. and just do it.
Moving on to the next bit of advice – You need to get organized and I mean now. This one won’t be easy but you need to do it. If you want to find more meaning in your writing, your projects and your contributions to the world, you need to organize mentally and plysically and to make that effort.
Last, in this very brief but necessary letter – You need to believe in yourself. Yes, that may sound a little bit Disney but it is actually crucial. To do this you do need to keep working on yourself, keep focused and don’t give up.
There. That is my advice to you. And don’t worry, this is just a start, the beginning of the writing life that you have always wanted. Buuuut..time to end this multiple personality-esque letter and let you get to work.
Love,
You
P.S. Laugh as much as you can and love even more. xo
