Once again, I'm going to give daily writing a try. I've been recently inspired by my friend Ryan Esdohr, who is upping his writing game. As usual, the only reason for me not to do this is laziness. Do I have plenty of other time commitments? Sure. But I can fit this in, if desired.
The sole motivator for me the last few days has been the number of blog posts/social media shares/articles/etc. simply slapping me in the face, telling me to move forward in spite of doubt. Stuart McMillan puts out fantastic training-related material, but, in my opinion, his daily Instagram posts (some of which have a training bent) have been even more valuable to me. He seems to let you in to the doubt he feels, and the mindset that he approaches things with. The knowledge that, while he doesn't have all the answers, he has a lot, and the mindset to find the ones he doesn't have. This speaks to me so loudly, I have to be willing to put ego aside and move forward. Don't fear being wrong. Don't fear what others will say. Fear doing nothing. Fear is the mind killer.
"A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once." -Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
