Impress Your Past Self

An old friend recently messaged me saying that my daily writing practice is ridiculously impressive. Writing daily has become second nature to me, like other routine activities such as brushing my teeth or eating lunch.

Achieving a goal often seems less spectacular when we are the ones achieving it. However, reflecting on my dedication, persistence, and passion for writing now, I realize my past self would be very impressed by my commitment to daily writing. Perhaps that’s a worthy goal to pursue: impress your past self.
