He said he loves to write, and was asked this telling question from a “fellow writer”:

How often do you get to write?

Hardly ever.

The “fellow writer” just smiled and went about his business.

And felt thankful that for the past 1,500+ consecutive days he’s been able to write, except for that one day.

A freak of nature?

Determined?

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Here’s what I don’t worry about with all the recommended blogging rules

jeff noel, The Internet's Only Five A Day Blogger
Timeliness and timeless – why never changes. What & how – a moving target.

 

Here’s what I don’t worry about with all the recommended blogging rules:

  • SEO
  • Email lists
  • RSS feeds
  • Selling stuff
  • Graphic design

Instead, I worry about writing like this:

  • every day
  • real life
  • real time
  • short and pithy
  • zero theory

I’d rather face the real challenge – addressing life’s five big choices – all day, everyday.

No theory. Only do.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

We know this.

The dilemma of an unexpected rare attribute

Remarkable often doesn’t seem so for years

 

The dilemma of an unexpected rare attribute is that it’s so rare it annoys others. It shines a light in dark places we’d rather leave in darkness. But could this attribute become a unique asset (if it isn’t already).

What would be our logical and important next steps on that amazing day when we wake up realizing something special is in front of us?

Hint, it would be much easier to distract, medicate, or entertain ourselves with stuff than to examine and take action.

Note: What if you’ve been told you think too much and ask too many embarrassing questions? Could you finally accept that this is something rare and nothing to be ashamed of?
