One Apple A Day #681 - every vote count
This morning I don't have enough time to write my morning post as usual. Plus tomorrow it's Christmas, so probably everyone is out there buying last-minute presents or travelling somewhere towards of far from their families.
But then I remembered the words James Clear wrote in Atomic Habits (my favourite book of 2019).
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
No matter how small the action is, it's the consistency of voting every day for the person I want to become. And I want to become a writer. I don't know when I'll get there, but I know I'll keep voting every weekday morning until it happens.
So, here I am with a short post, written and posted in 8 minutes. To prove to myself that "I don't have enough time" it's always a crappy excuse.
And to finish with some more inspiring words, I still from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
"There is only one way to learn," the alchemist answered. "It's through action."
