Goals Take Time (Monday Inspiration)

November 2, 2020

It’s okay if your goal is not based on years, but in decades. It’s okay if your goal is delayed by other goals you want to achieve first. Life isn’t a race, your work is not a race. It’s a journey, and like all journeys, it will take the time you need it to take.

15 Minutes (Monday Inspiration)

October 26, 2020

It only takes 15 minutes to add another 100 words to your story. That’s the same amount of time as social media, having a cup of tea or even getting dressed. You might not have all the time right now, but you can find 15 minutes.

The only limit is yourself (Monday Inspiration)

October 19, 2020

What is possible to achieve? That’s only limited by one person – you. The limits of your imagination. The limits of your courage. The limits of your determination.

You can find the time (Monday Inspiration)

October 12, 2020

You think you can’t write because you don’t have time? Good, that’s the start. Start with no time, and create five minutes. Then ten. Then, maybe, fifteen. Your writing does not have to take all day to help your progress.

You only live once (Monday Inspiration)

October 5, 2020

Don’t wait until tomorrow. Start today. Tomorrow is never guaranteed to turn out the way you hope. And tomorrow’s tomorrow? You can never take those for granted. So get to work. Today. Featured Photo by Julian Hochgesang on Unsplash

Take a Break (Monday Inspiration)

September 28, 2020

Sometimes you know you need to take a break. Sometimes there are things that slip, and that thing is your writing. And that’s okay. Sometimes other things take priority. Sometimes you need to take a step back. Trust yourself, take a break. Your project will be waiting when you come back.

Try Today (Monday Inspiration)

September 21, 2020

Yesterday might have been a good day to start, to progress. But you know what is the second best day to start, to progress? Today. So try today. You don’t have to hit wordcounts or achieve goals. Just try.

Trust (Monday Inspiration)

Trust your talent. Trust your passion. Trust your dreams. Trust yourself.

Lean Into Uncomfortable (Monday Inspiration)

September 7, 2020

Being uncomfortable is a good thing. It means you’re growing and learning and changing. It means you’re stretching yourself to new heights. Reaching new goals. Achieving new things. Lean into being uncomfortable.

Don’t Give Up Now (Monday Inspiration)

August 31, 2020

Your dreams are only as real as your relentless belief to follow them. They do not materialise without pain. They do not materialise with wishes or wants. Dreams are hard to create because there is the graft that takes it to get there. There are the setbacks, the moments of disbelief, the hardships that hold … More Don’t Give Up Now (Monday Inspiration)
