You should ______

September 26, 2011 · 4 comments

You should write every day if you’re a real writer.

You should jog at least four days a week if you’re a runner.

You should eat less than 2000 calories a day.

You should save 15 percent of your salary every paycheck.

You should stop listening to people that perpetuate perfection in words. Act in a way that works for you. And act more often than not. Simple as that.

I’m so guilty of this sometimes, but completely agree. Every time we assume our way is THE way, we are wrong.

Sometimes not doing something every single day is better than doing something every single day. Spot on, Eddie.

Great piece.

Acting more often is much more important than I used to think. Acting on that idea that you feel is not ready. Act on it anyway. Act on it every day.

It’s easy to listen to another audio book that assures you’re going to the right direction, before even starting. It’s easy to ask for opinions and ideas from other people to make sure you’re starting to right thing.

The hard part is the starting. Even harder is acting on the thing every day. But when you do, you realize that only few of the audio books and peoples’ opinions that you went through before starting, actually matter now that you have done thing your for a while.
