Yesterday started out as a blah day. I was uninspired to do anything. I would gladly have moped all day! But, it was my gym day.

I thought of canceling my visit, but, no, I went ahead and showed up. I wanted to honor my commitment and not my feelings of the moment.

At the gym, it was like pulling teeth to get going, but I had said (a long time ago) I would go to the gym on a regular basis and so here I was—feeling like it or not!

Guess what happened? After a while, I began to enjoy myself and, by the end of the session, I was engaged. Great time, and great benefit. The session changed my day!

Now this predictable result from commitment (and engagement) reminded me of a video I published on YouTube. “Feel like writing? You write. Don’t feel like writing? You write.”

How can commitment be less complicated! It’s not about feelings. It’s about focusing on your goal and doing the work. Keep writing your memoir.

Good luck with your writing and remember to write a bit on your memoir today. And remember: “Inch by inch, it’s a cinch; yard by yard, it’s hard.”

Good luck writing your stories!

Keep writing. Manage your time well. Your memoir is important.

Best,
