Don’t leave it

Posted on by philipdodson

If you instinctively know that what you want to say is the right thing to say, then you are more than likely to be correct in your thinking.

But then the mind takes over, we over think, we lose our courage and we end up not saying it. Then we fester about that and beat ourselves up for not being brave enough to say what we really feel.

Then when it gets to us, we usually then end up saying what we could have done in the first place, but it comes out with all the anger and frustration that we’ve built up with ourselves.

Just say it and say it straight-away, don’t leave it, it never gets better with time.

What to write?

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.
