We're Wrong If We Think

Turning Pro Is A Mindset. If We Are Struggling With Fear, Self-sabotage, Procrastination, Self-doubt, Etc., The Problem Is, We’re Thinking Like Amateurs. Amateurs Don’t Show Up. Amateurs Crap Out. Amateurs Let Adversity Defeat Them. The Pro Thinks Differently. He Shows Up, He Does His Work, He Keeps On Truckin’, No Matter What.

The Amateur Has A Long List Of Fears. Near The Top Are Two: Solitude And Silence. The Amateur Fears Solitude And Silence Because She Needs To Avoid, At All Costs, The Voice Inside Her Head That Would Point Her Toward Her Calling And Her Destiny. So She Seeks Distraction. The Amateur Prizes Shallowness And Shuns Depth. The Culture Of Twitter And Facebook Is Paradise For The Amateur.

Playing The Game For Money Produces The Proper Professional Attitude. It Inculcates The Lunch-pail State Of Mind That Shows Up For Work Despite Rain Or Snow Or Dark Of Night And Slugs It Out Day After Day.

Resistance Cannot Be Seen, Touched, Heard, Or Smelled. But It Can Be Felt.

What Force Is Yanking At Our Sleeves? This Process Of Self-revision And Self-correction Is So Common We Don't Even Notice. But It's A Miracle.
