One Apple A Day #674 - hey look, this is who I am
What should I do? Should I write my daily apple this morning or not?
It's almost 11 in the morning, and my morning routine has been completely disrupted. For good reasons. I'm on a short vacation in a city I love, visiting people who are really dear to me and we arrived very late yesterday night.
It's always about getting your priorities right. A night of good sleep is vital for my health. And my health is a top priority. Friends are also over there among the essential elements of my life.
Though, this short daily moment is part of who I am. Every time I write and publish a post, I'm saying to the universe "Hey look, this is who I am. I am an author."
Even when it's not perfect. Even when my routine is gone or my inspiration is low. It's not the outcome that matters the most. It's the consistency through which I shape and reinforce my identity.
I don't write for the outcome, I write because this is who I am.
And you know, I've surprised myself. I'm a lazy and undisciplined person, yet I've been consistently writing almost every morning for years now. I firmly believe that the reason I've been able to achieve this is that I'm not writing for the outcome, I'm doing it because it's who I am.
So yes. I'm writing this morning to remind myself that I'm an author.
