Doing.

My blogging has slowed down recently for one reason, I’ve being doing more. That’s not to say that doing is the opposite of blogging, but doing is the opposite of talking in many respects. So that’s what I’ve been focusing on, doing.

I read this post from @Micah today and it pretty much summed up the reading or writing to get inspired vs. doing. The gist, we don’t need inspiration from external sources to succeed. Focus on what you’re doing and inspire yourself.

“Inspiration is for amateurs, I just get to work.”
-Chuck Close

So, I’m no doubt going to continue to blog, and even just pontificate at times. But primarily, I’m going to focus on writing about what I’m doing. I hope that you can learn from that, I hope that you’re interested in that, and I hope that I can possibly even inspire. But make sure you’re not just reading blogs to get inspired. Make sure you’re doing so that you can inspire yourself.

Get to work.
