Daily Gratitude: Don’t be guided by what the “masses” do or think it say. That is so easy to do with social media but you have to do your own thing. Have your own goals, make a plan and then follow the plan. Make your own time table and then abide by it. You can do your writing whether others have gone to the beach or put off their writing til tomorrow. You can go for a walk today even if it’s raining and everyone else is staying home. If you do, then tomorrow when they finally decide to go out, you’ll already be ahead. If you continue to do things as you planned, you will get ahead. But getting ahead isn’t your goal anyway. Your goal is to achieve what you’ve set down in your plan. Forget competition as a goal. You will come out ahead of whatever game you’re in because you are persistent and doing things when others don’t “feel like it”.
