Give Us This Day Our Daily Work

“Every night I try myself by court martial to see if I have done anything effective during the day. I don’t mean just pawing the ground—anyone can go through the motions—but something really effective.”

Winston Churchill, quoted in Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday

“But it really does not matter what you are called, or where your work is placed, as long as it brings some kind of joy to some person someplace. To create something out of nothing is a wonderful experience. To take a blank piece of paper and draw characters that people love and worry about is extremely satisfying.”

Charles M. Schulz, My Life With Charlie Brown

Success and effectiveness is personal.

Right now, success is posting a new blog post every single day.

It reflects my commitment to and joy of reading.

I love writing. I cannot stop.

I do not worry right now if I have an audience.

The success is in the doing, not the sharing.
