What is it that we refuse to miss a day of doing?

Like a few things in life, we don’t compromise. In a way that is challenging to find an explanation, I can’t see missing a day, until I die.

Why? OCD? Who knows.

It’s more like this.

To have the ability to write, the privilege to write, the mind to write, the heart to write, a body that can type, the resources (wifi, laptop/tablet/phone, etc) and something to write about (say blessings and observations) and not do it every single day?

The revelation is – how can I not write. Everyday.

Live and let live and to each his own. Be well today.

As a speaker who writes, some days jeff noel can’t do this fast enough

Some days writers can’t write fast enough – there’s so much gratitude flowing through our spirit, so many blessings, even though we can clearly see the devil circling like a hungry vulture.

There is nothing more valuable to us than time.

Writing takes time.

So does living.

Makes sense to strive to do them both well.

Why we completely ignore the inherent connection between writing and leadership

The inherent connection between writing and leadership is frequently missing from advice, tips, strategies and tactics.

Why? Because as leaders, we’re too busy to write. At least that’s what we tell ourselves.

But in order to be a good great leader, we must spend time thinking. That’s our job. To think about, envision and constantly share our clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future.

And find a million ways to keep the fire white hot.

Yet we quickly and unintentionally ignore this fact:

That others will be thinking about our clear, concise, compelling vision in direct proportion to our own thinking.

And if we do a “once and done” campaign, imagine our ripple effect on our team.

Which has us finishing where we started…

A writer must write. And to write, a writer must think. So if a writer stops writing, does the writer then stop thinking as well?

What one foot in front of the other really means

a brand new day
today is another glorious gift of a brand new day….

What one foot in front of the other really means? It means keep moving. An object, once in motion, tends to stay in motion.

From a butt-kicking 100-day writing challenge, to an 1186 day writing streak. One day at a time. You can do what you want to do…one day at a time.
