“I write when I’m inspired, and I see to it that I’m inspired at 9:00 every morning.” \u00a0 ~~Peter DeVries<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’ve read this quote every morning for years because it’s been hanging on my bedroom wall every morning for years.\u00a0 But I never let it fully sink in.\u00a0 I never really lived it.<\/p>\n
I think I’ve secretly–subconsciously–been waiting for some sort of cosmic energy to come and whoosh through me, the planets to align, a sacred calling to summon me or an undeniable sign from above.<\/p>\n
I’ve been waiting for the perfect, right, best most beautiful moment to write the perfect, right, best most beautiful words.\u00a0 And that rarely (and I mean very rarely) happens.<\/p>\n
But now everything has changed.<\/p>\n
It’s changed because I found my cosmic energy, planets aligning, sacred calling, sign from above answer in one simple statement spoken by author, blogger Seth Godin when he said,<\/p>\n
“Do I have a blog post coming out tomorrow?\u00a0 Yes I do.\u00a0 I pressed the buzzer on that 10 years ago.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Seth Godin observed that those who win at life–like those who win at the game of Jeopardy–are they who press the buzzer first.<\/p>\n
He explains,<\/p>\n
“Press the buzzer before you’re sure you know the answer.\u00a0 As your brain is thinking, maybe I can<\/em>… you press the buzzer.\u00a0 And in that last moment you’re going to come up with something.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I now know that each day I am going to press the buzzer.\u00a0 The decision has been made.\u00a0 Then, while looking my inner Alex Trebek right in the eye, I write.<\/p>\n
And somehow, someway…<\/p>\n
I always come up with something.<\/p>\n
