I heart stationary in Japanese. Nothing I like more than a new pen.Recently I realized how important it was to spend time BEING my goals. I don’t always have time or energy to do what I want to do on certain projects. BEING a writer is more important than doing the writing.
If I only sit for a few minutes at my computer, I thought what is the point. But it makes me feel like a writer. So does thinking about why a book I read is good or bad. Or I write notes from a writing class in my notebook like I am all studious and stuff.
Perfectionism likes to refuse to give us credit for spending small amounts of time or not making “enough” progress. But it’s really not about progress. It’s more about being who you really are.
I really like progress but if that is not possible, keeping a tiny finger on the pulse of what you want to grow is essential to becoming who you were born to be.
