I’m not going to wait for inspiration to come before I do something I want to do. Or something I know I need to do.

For example, writing in my Journal, making my bed in the morning, completing a task at work, calling a friend I’ve been meaning to call, reading a book I want to read, taking a long overdue trip to the African market to buy my goat meat and ẹ̀gúsí, or any other thing that needs doing by me.

I’m just going to show up and do the damn thing, whether or not I feel inspired. I know it won’t be easy but I know this is the superior course of action.

Bad things happen when I don’t do what I’m supposed to do when I’m supposed to do it.

And I’m no longer convinced that my not being inspired is good enough reason for me to leave those things undone or poorly done.

I’ve made up my mind.

For anything I have to do, I will start with a series of small steps that will in the end add up to that thing being done, and done well.

I want inspiration to get jealous of my ability to get things done without her. Maybe that would make her visit me more often…

Who knows?
