Dear Writer, You Need to Quit (QuitBooks for Writers, #1)

by Becca Syme

If there was “one” guiding principle for transformation that works, it would be: alignment2. Alignment is symmetry between your self and your systems. Between your purpose, your personality, your platform, your capacity, and your goals.

How much of your life is ruled by your default choices?

the concept of getting “better-faster” is that place—the place of your alignment between personality, platform, patterns, resources, and environment—where you are wired for success, and where you are naturally going to get better-faster. Exponential success with alignment, applied intention, and time.

At some point, though, everyone has to stop gathering and make something happen. Or nothing will ever move the needle.

But I knew it had to be done, so I didn’t let the fear stop me from doing it.”

As a wise friend reminds me regularly, it’s the acceptance that is the key. Acceptance makes action possible, because in sight of the bear, when there is no other option, you can’t choose not to act. Or rather, choosing not to act is a choice in itself. That won’t make the bear go away. And it might cost money, or lives (though I hope not) or time or hardship if you don’t act.

And in order to start looking for the assumption, you have to get past your first instinct, which is to fix the problem. But often, there isn’t really a problem to be fixed, other than your unrealistic expectation about the fact that there is a problem.
