Recently I was pondering how I’ve always wanted to be a writer. About how someday, somewhere, maybe, I’ll actually become a writer. And then it struck me… the only thing keeping me from being a writer is the simple fact that I wasn’t writing.
It’s that straightforward. Sometimes, the only gap between the person you are today, and the person you want to be, is that of ACTION. Luckily, the solution is equally straightforward:
Do the thing that makes you who you want to be.
How to be a teacher? Teach. A class. A friend. A YouTube video.
How to be a runner? Run. It doesn’t have to be pretty, or far. Just go.
How to be an investor? Invest. Open a Betterment account. Deposit $5.
You get the point. Whatever it is – channel all those Nike commercials and “Just do it”.
For me… I’m hitting “post” and committing to show up a couple times of week.
