The other day someone asked me how I became a blogger.
On 50odd.co.uk.
A blogger that writes every day.
A blogger that – somehow – writes something every day that means something to at least one someone.
Even though I’m only really writing for myself.
The answer?
Because I decided to.
Decisions.
It’s that Stephen Covey thing.
Habits (true decisions) form when three things are present:
- What to do
- How to do
- Want to do
I know what to do to create a blogging platform.
(Or I know someone that does).
I know how to blog.
(I didn’t know if I’d be good at it, of course.
But I knew how to do it).
And I wanted to do it.
I thought it would be good for me.
To get ideas out.
To make room for more.
And it has.
So I simply decided.
Decisions.
Anything you want to do.
Follow the Covey thing.
What to do.
How to do.
Want to do.
And that’s why, when anyone says to me:
Eeeh; I really want to go to the gym and lose some weight.
I reply:
No you don’t.
Because if you did.
You’d be doing it.
Now.
Decisions.
So if you really do want to do something…
Decide.
