It’s not a secret that I love Lee Child and his writing
And today I spent the day binging the Reacher series to get ready for season 3 that’s out on the 20th of this month…
Now today I didn’t want to do any work or writing or whatever and frankly didn’t want to exist to anyone in any capacity.
I just had one of those days and I know we all get them
But after binging the whole of season 2 in one sitting and honestly becoming an couch potato
I rediscovered a lesson that needs to be focused and applied by everyone…
Doing the things that need to be done regardless of how you feel or the outcome might lead to
The whole of season 2 was based on small bits of drama that got flung into Reacher’s direction and he didn’t complain, he just kept on moving
I’d love to share more detail but I don’t want to spoil it if you haven’t watched it or plan on watching it
And that’s it, that’s the major revelation I had today
Nothing magical
Nothing sexy
Nothing “ninja”
It’s painstakingly boring
So boring that you won’t see any guru’s in the online space talk about it cause it can’t make ’em money
So when you have those days where you want to crawl into a ball and do nothing at all, try stay consistent to what it is you’re trying to build…
Like for me it’s this here little community of misfits who enjoy my emails
Or it could be that book you’re writing, songs you’re producing or those drawings that need to be painted or whatever…
If it’s good enough for Jack Reacher to keep going when he doesn’t want to
Then it’s good enough for me to keep writing these emails and growing my list.
