Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the ‘right stuff’ to turn our dreams into reality.”  James Womack

You are what you do every day.

A painter paints

A writer writes

A sculptor creates sculptures

The completion of a book, painting, or sculpture requires:

  • A desire to create something from nothing
  • The seed of an idea
  • Working on the creation consistently, day after day
  • A commitment to following through

A person who writes every day has earned the title of writer (even if they aren’t published).

Someone who claims to be a painter, but only picks up the brush when inspired twice a year, is a hobbyist.

You are what you do every day.

And it’s the unfolding and expansion of what you do every day that sets the course for who you’ll be in a few years.

Commit to your craft by working on it daily, even if only for a little while.  You’ll expand your talent, your knowledge and your techniques.
