So, it seems everyone wants to be heard these days. I guess people have always wanted recognition since the beginning of time. But writing a book or journal or poem used to quench the thirst of their “voice” being paid attention to.

Now, it seems that auditory modes of writing are preferred over people taking 20 minutes to read something. Instead, they can wash clothes and cook and shower and have the words fed to them via their ear canal. I get it. I take advantage of it too.

But if I cannot motivate myself to stick to writing daily,  would podcasting be easier/better/work in conjunction with my writing? I am trying to figure out if I could commit to it 2 times a week if it would help motivate me or hinder?

As I type this, I can see my fear of failure fall onto the page with every word. It is a debilitating trait of mine. I have great ideas and am a fairly intellectual being, but man, I have little faith in myself.

Do you find yourself in this mental tug of war? Do you, too, have these thoughts all at the same time while declaring on your Insta stories how taking chances is the only way to live and all of this other positive drivel?

I am not a poser or anything, but I live between wanting to be this bad ass successful and posting about it and wanting to lie under my down comforter and binge watch Southern Charm.

It’s like I feel if I talk a lot about wanting or achieving Goal A, B, or C, it will happen easier or faster. When the truth is putting oneself out there and taking the chance, come what may is the only surefire probability of anything improving or changing.

What are you working on that will help you to reach a goal? Are you too withholding your talents or passions because you are afraid it won’t work? What are some sure fire ways to hold yourself accountable?

Marinate on these questions, and I will talk out my thoughts in the next post. Please email me with your thoughts or leave a comment here. Let’s finally push through the bs and make some strides. Together!
