All You Need Is…

January 15th, 2010

It’s a famous lyric, I’m sure you all filled it in, and even sang it, in your heads, if not allowed.

And yet, we do need more than love, even for the things we love most. I always thought for writing what I needed most was discipline… which I equated with writing every day.

But, I’ve come to realize that I don’t work that way… I just don’t write every day. But when I do, what I need more than anything is ENTHUSIASM. When you’re really excited about what you do, the time just flies by. Check out Chris Rock’s riff on a “career” vs. a “job” and where similarly touches upon what I mean.

What helps create that enthusiasm? Time… AWAY from a project, so you can come back to it fresh.

Here’s to the long weekend, replenishing our minds and bodies, and getting in touch with that enthusiasm again.
