There comes a point where you’re wrestling with an idea or a project, and you’re hesitating if it’s even worth doing.
There also comes a time when an unexpected moment, something outside of your control, affects your personal life, which gives you an entirely new motive to act on your idea.
Because now the idea is personal.
Because now you can’t not do it.
It’s what Ryan Holiday felt when he wrote his books.
It’s what Vincent van Gogh felt when he created his paintings.
When all you’re thinking about is can’t not doing it, that’s when you need to begin doing it.
It’s the only way to calm your spirit and move on to greater things.
Here’s my quote for the day.
The most personal is the most creative.
Martin Scorsese
