I have a ton of bad habits that I probably really need to break. One of them is worrying about things that I don't have direct control over at any given moment.
This is bad because it stresses me out over small stuff and completely halts my work flow.
It's even worse when there really isn't anything to worry about. Writing makes up a bit of my income for sure, and a bad month can set me back. However a lot of it is simply on the whims of the consumer.
This month has been really good to me, but I can't help but think about certain things.
"Will I keep the momentum up next month?"
"Will I stagnate at this level?"
These are silly thoughts, but I still have them.
I finally realize that no matter how successful I am, I will always have that nagging voice in the back of my head saying I could do more.
