Motivation often increases after you begin. The lesson is not to wish you had more motivation, but to make starting as easy as possible. - James Clear

It took me…<br/><br/>200+ articles before I got a book deal.<br/>250+ articles before I got major media coverage.<br/>100+ interviews before my book hit the bestseller list.<br/><br/>You need a lot of shots on goal. Not everything will work, but some of it will.<br/><br/>Keep shooting.

With the creative process, the key is to create a lot and edit a lot.

Make more than you need, then remove everything that isn't exceptional.

Think about the little things you enjoy, then turn around and do them for someone else.

If you feel relief when someone asks a question in class, then other students are probably relieved too. Be the one who asks.

If you love it when a friend calls to check in, your friends probably love it too. Be the one who calls.

If it makes your whole day when someone compliments your outfit, other people probably love it too. Give out more compliments.
