How Writing is A Lot Like Going To The Gym
If you show up, good things might happen. If you sit on the sidelines, they won’t.
You know those days you get up and you don’t feel like going to the gym? The days you say, “I will go tomorrow.” Then tomorrow never comes, and before you know it, you are right back into the same routine, and nothing changes, yea, that feeling. We all love to talk about what we aren’t doing.
It can take several months at the gym to see improvement in your physical appearance, even if you are consistent with going. But in going, you are building discipline and form. You are helping your mental, physical, and spiritual health by getting that cardio and workout in.
