This book was the soft-spoken awakening to the realization that wanting to make a living pursuing my creative passions is not a selfish act.
But I realize that dreaming about it and not shipping the creative work is.
For years I have dreamt up ideas, journaled, vision boarded and more but I haven’t committed to the practice or shipped the creative work.
Five years later,
1. I have no job
2. I have no money
3. I have given nothing to others
4. I have a lot of guilt, shame, and anxiety about “wasted time”.
Reading The Practice, helped me clarify my practice and focus on what I really wanted to do.
Not the safe choice.
Not what is expected of me.
Not what others are doing.
My practice, my personal passion and commitment.
To write.
And my intent.
To write for change.
But also my set backs.
Committing to my practice also meant to see myself honestly, acknowledge that how we have been living isn’t working but that it does not define me nor does it determine my future.
So here is to getting started for the umpteenth time, and cheers to never stopping. 🥂
