Some day you just start writing and see what happens.

Because a creator creates.

Consistently, daily.

To publish or not to publish. That’s a different question.

But you do create EVERY day. Regardless.

An athlete trains consistently. According to a specific plan.

On a rainy day. On a hot day. On a discouraging day.

An athlete trains on a day after a loss. The same as the day after a win. According to a schedule.

The fans do not care if he / she had a discouraging morning, a fight with a spouse. Or children that would not cooperate that morning.

Consistent daily activity according to a plan. That is the key to creating a body of work that will be noticed.

During a training session sometimes the times and activities go well. Sometimes not. But the athlete trains consistently.

And the creator / writer / artist / course creator creates. They work their trade.

A plumber doesn’t wait to be inspired to work. That sounds ridiculous. That’s what makes him a quality plumber.

So just work your trade today. With or without inspiration.

Consistently. Daily. Just like a parent changes a dirty diaper.

Not because they love the job, nor do they feel inspired to change a dirty diaper. Multiple times during the day. And night.

It is the task at a hand. Done without applause. Or accolades.

Just doing the job the best that they can at the moment. With or without inspiration.

The thought leaders that I know personally have a consistent work ethic. Working per their plan consistently. When no one is watching.

Like the athlete doing the reps daily. The writer writing. The leader responding to her team as promised. On time.

That is the journey to creating a body of work that matters.

Some days you just grind. Alone and unnoticed.
