One Hour a Day
Actually I was going to write this for a young audience, but as old as I am, I just wrote this and now you are reading it. That is a great step for me, and I only spent an hour a day writing about any and everything, as well as researching publishers and their market.
What if the only thing that happens is the fact that you feel great about yourself for one hour a day? We have all wasted that much time everyday just relaxing for a moment, yet what is more relaxing than your own unique accomplishments. If you are an artist or writer of any kind, doing nothing will give you nothing to show, share, or even prove you have a talent.
If you are mechanically inclined, I know you are complaining about some of the nightmares that engineers constantly come up with. What ideas do you have? Whether you know it or not, you are constantly doing some kind of research already, just to keep up with the technology. Take an hour to research what you really think, and you will find options.
If you work in an office, you are constantly pumped for new ideas. For an hour a day, think of your life. You are the only one you can count on! Let everyone else count on you, but you must be able to count on yourself for one hour a day, or anyone else can and will control your future. And you may have no say in who it is.
One hour a day still leaves you 15 waking hours (or more like me) and generally speaking, 7 hours not under outside control. Set an alarm for a predetermined time, which can change according the influence of others, with an egg timer set for an hour once you start. And if the timer goes off and you want to continue, who cares. What and how you do it is up to you. Your future can be too. What is training, but a lot of practice? Every thing about you is a stepping stone.
At times it is all I had to battle my own depression. Remember, I am old, and I was not living the future I had thought I would have. It turned out that everyone I thought I could count on, never even had what I needed. My own accomplishments. Why would I think they did? Why didn’t I work one lousy hour a day, towards today? As old as I am, it would have been a lot of hours, and a lot more options than I have now. But proof be with me, tomorrow is the only time it is too late to start. Do not loose one more hour. Pick a time today and commit to yourself, or tomorrow will never be up to you
