There’s really no magic pill for success besides showing up.
Posting to social media. Creating content. Practicing yoga. Lifting weights. Going on dates to find a significant other. You have to shoot, a lot.
There’s a training of your muscle to not give a shit about what others think. To not care if you miss.
Learning how to teach yoga? You really can’t be worried about what the students think. If they liked the class was it because of you or because they just had an incredible day? On the flip side if they hated your class was it you or something that happened before class? Do they even know how to teach yoga? The list goes on.
Yet, we often times hold back. Worried about it being messy. Worried about what others will think.
It shows up time and time again on the mat, and off it.
My goal has been to write for 100 straight days on here. For some reason one of the days didn’t calculate the way it should and I posted twice in one day. I’m working on letting go of that attachment though.
The goal remains the same. To show up and put words out to the world every day. Become numb to what others think and just let it flow.
Seth Godin just did his 10,000th straight day of posting to his own blog. Some days were multiple times! A good reminder in case you think you don’t have anything worth saying.
Beeple, a famous digital artist has created art for 6559 straight days. Incredible.
The secret? Action. Post. Write. Take Photos. Videos. Be unapologetically you. Over and over again.
Yesterday I practiced yoga and i’d say I had about 30% to give on my mat. I gave 100% of that 30%.
Some days its like that when I sit down to type something here. But as I press the keys words end up coming to mind and i’m off to the races.
The way out, is through.
Always has been.
