Between a Rock and a Hard Place

We all have it. It’s that dreaded fear that we will never get done what we’ve wanted since the moment of our first breath. You make goals, New Year’s resolutions, and lists on top of lists, all of them pointing to your dreams. All of them never working out. Like my own for instance, I told myself that I would start a blog and keep it up. And though I am doing that, it is taking a lot longer to write a new post every week. It seems that once you have started something to help you progress, you lose the vision that started it all.

My vision is slowly dwindling and I know it is my fault. I try to say that it is self doubt, but how much of that is lack of time or just plain laziness? I have found that I have a lot to deal with than just my lack of vision. It’s a lack of self discipline. And I have no idea how I can gain it.

I have read that to be a writer, you need to write. Every author I’ve read has said the same things: leave aside time to write. Write in an area that you won’t feel distracted. I am working on it, but damn is it hard. One thing’s for sure, the only way out of this is to keep going. After all, you never know what you are capable of if you never actually work on it.
