Everything worth doing is worth doing badly. My writing suck! Big time! There is no question about it. But my fitness is fantastic! Again there is no question about it. It just is! I’m a Superman fitness wise but pathetic writer. Big time!!
Writing short article is like doing a short workout. They both matter and make difference. A busy parent or time strapped office worker should do 10 min. workouts. They make huge difference in their fitness lever over time. I do it. My body is proof of it.
Same with writing. If I want to make huge difference in my quality of writing, I need to embrace the quick shitty writing session I’m doing now. And do more of them! That’s how my writing becomes better.
I have few friends. They’re busy parents and they are getting disgustingly fat and they are really really getting old. Not because they are old. But because they gave up on themselves. Like I gave up on myself being a better writer. Same thing.
You can tell. So when they ask me for advice about their fitness, I tell them to buy pull up bar on Amazon today. Than mount it into a doorframe and start doing the pull ups while you’re changing diapers, cooking dinner or yelling at kids to not throw the toy trains into the bathroom. That’s what I did yesterday and subsequently spending the rest of the day playing with my favorite toy – plunger!
But their response is always the same. I can’t even do one pull up Milan! I want to shout back at them and tell them to read my yesterday’s article. Yes! It’s pure garbage. But I did it. And they should too!
I said in that article what I wanted to say. It was disorganized and full of spelling mistakes. It is a mess of an article. But the next one will be a little tiny bit better.
Same with my fat busy father friend. If he took my advice and bought that pull up bar on Amazon. And he took a time to install it. And he did his ugly set of pull ups while cooking dinner and than another one and another one mixed with some squats and push ups.
He would be little bit better and fitter next day. That’s all he has to realize. Life is messy. Get it done, or be fat forever. God will love you still anyway. But your wife might not. She wants a fit guy. Who can blame her!
Anyway, this is still very disorganized message in here. In order to be good at something, to be supper fit and healthy, you have to do it daily. And if you’re busy, you still have to do it daily, badly until you get better. So go get yourself that pull up bar today and start doing those ugly shallow pull ups. And I? Write everyday to get better buddy. Its still pile of garbage. But it is tiny bit better than yesterday.
