Consistency is Not Enough

If you want to build muscle, the first step is to show up consistently to the gym. This is often the hardest part. But going consistently isn’t enough. You need to push yourself during each workout. You need to overload your muscles and gradually increase the reps or weight you’re lifting. Over time you’ll begin to gain strength and grow your muscles. 

Lately, I’ve been getting into the habit with my writing that showing up is enough. That publishing a blog post for the day is enough. My goal with writing is to continue developing my craft so I can better convey my ideas and emotions through words. I need to put in focused hours. I need to critique my work. I need to self-educate. I need to find a teacher. I need to put my work out there. Showing up isn’t enough.
