Helping others become even better versions of themselves
The blank page.
The empty head.
The fear of starting.
The scariness of words.
Who will read it?
Who will like it?
Who will criticise it?
Who cares what you have to say?
Just type, it’s an unknown thing life and what we do, has no guarantees.
The magic is the uncertainty and caring about the process and not giving a care about the outcome.
Blog fears are scary when we focus on the published outcome, not the process of creating it.
Just start typing, something will come up, the longer you think, the more you will talk yourself out of something.
The title will often come from what you start to type and the great news is, whatever you type, you can go back and edit. Better to type something than have a blank screen and not publish.
We always have something to say, it could be about the weather, especially if you are from the UK, it could be about politics, dangerous, or religion, even more dangerous. There are literally millions of things to write about, the challenge is to stop your inner voice from saying things like ‘what do you know about that?’ or ‘no one will read that’ or whatever else that voice will say to you to stop you from doing it.
The thing is, there is always a thing worth saying, sharing, publishing.
I had the challenge today of what to write, so I just started typing.
