Ever sit down to write and find yourself staring at a blank page, the cursor blinking accusingly? You wonder how others churn out stories, articles, and novels while you grapple with finding the right words. It’s not a lack of talent or time that’s holding you back. The uncomfortable truth? You’re standing in your own way.

You don’t have what you want because you’re not willing to become the person who has it.

Stop Making Excuses

You say you don’t have time to write, yet you scroll through social media for hours.

You claim you need inspiration, but you haven’t put pen to paper in weeks.

The reality is, you’re choosing distractions over your passion. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, create it. Set aside just 20 minutes each day dedicated solely to writing. Turn off your phone, close unnecessary tabs, and focus. You’ll be amazed at how quickly those minutes add up to pages.

For instance, instead of spending your lunch break checking emails, grab a notebook and jot down ideas. Even scribbling a few sentences moves you closer to your goals.
