baby steps

today’s mantra: i will allow myself to progress towards my goals in a step by step time frame – no pressure to achieve the world’s timeline.

So exciting to see folks out there receiving and enjoying their postcards! I am definitely learning A TON. For instance, the last postcard referred to being beautiful. As I was writing them out and sending off, I realized than not every guy out there would love being referred to as a beautiful hooman. LOL. Noted for future postcards. ✅

The process of building this little hobby has been a one day at a time thing over here. I like drawing the characters and thinking up verbiage and generating new personalities. I love when folks comment and enjoy. And that’s that! When other people enjoy the creations – that is the reward for me.

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you will make progress.

My little project just grew another step forward today! I dropped off postcard sets to a little independent bookstore. The store owner reviewed and I was called tonight to chat about signing a little contract for my profit share of the revenue. 💯 I AM SO EXCITED!

You have to do risky things sometimes to achieve success! The #fear of #rejection and/or #failure can’t hold us back from trying to progress towards our cause. JK Rowling’s Harry Potter manuscript was rejected 12 times. Walt Disney was fired, told he lacked imagination, and told he had no good ideas. Stephen King’s most famous book was rejected 30 times. Oprah was fired from being a tv reporter. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Albert Einstein was expelled from school for failure to learn at a speed congruent with other peers. Vincent Van Gogh sold only one painting his life – month’s before his death. Steve Jobs was a college drop out. And the list goes on…

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

If you want to progress on any goal, you have to put in the time. Baby steps daily will result in big progress in 6 months, 12 months, 5 years.

Be true to the path inside of you!
