The only thing that happens every day is the opportunity to do the work. There are other energising forces but they’re less reliable. If the simple opportunity to do the work each dy is enough to renew your energy to do the work, you’ll always havre an energy source.*
Gabe Anderson
A crash means we have to grow. A crash means we’re at the threshold of learning something, which means we’re getting better, we’re acquiring the wisdom of our craft.**
Steven Pressfield
Something wants to appear, but
the more you pressure yourself
the harder this will be.
You may be idea-less,
Inspiration evading you,
But if you turn up here again there are
at least two things waiting to greet you:
Your love for what you do and
the experience that you bring–
Even when this time is bad
it’s good because you’re learning,
Which means you have more experience to bring
next time.
(Perhaps shape a form of remembering
what it is you love to do, for when you enter your workspace,
Also, bringing to mind the last
learning experience you have known.)
