Kick in the Pants

Sometimes you just need that smack upside the head to remind you what you were made for.

Sure, there are lots of things you can do. Talents and skills and abilities. Sure, there are roles we all fill throughout the day that sometimes put us into double digits on our hat wearing capabilities. Teacher, leader, role model, boss, employee, technician, sales person, CEO, print master, game player, etc. The list goes on and on and on.

But then there's that one thing. That one thing you were made for.

I'm a believer in the fact that everyone was made with some specific thing that they are gonna do. There's something, I don't know what, that you and you alone can accomplish. A task to perform, a role to play, a life to change. And only you can do it.

Personally, I got re-awakened to my own personal "one thing" this past week. So I'm dusting off the writer's block and I'm getting back to the grind. I'm preparing myself for sleepless nights and long days. The biggest thing I need to ensure I prepare myself for is the battle I know I'm going to face: laziness. It's so easy after a long day to justify to myself that I need "me time". Time to sit and do absolutely nothing.

Well, there was a time when "me time" was the same as "writing time". I think it's high time I got back to that mentality.

I don't know what your one thing is. All I do know is that whatever it is, you're gonna be epic.
