Wait, it's October?!
What happened? This is so crazy - this is the first post I’m doing since February 23rd! I didn’t even get past Week 3. Again, what happened? I started out with such high hopes for this year – what a wonderful, transformative year it was going to be!
Instead, it’s October! And, the only thing that’s transformed is my pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern, or will be this weekend. What?! It will! I already have a pumpkin AND a costume, too!
See…there are things I don’t procrastinate on.
Besides, transformations are overrated, anyway. For one, they’re almost always temporary in nature. Take Oprah for instance. She made us wait something like 4 months back in 1988 to see her at her big unveiling toting that little red wagon – remember that?
And, then there’s the scarier kind of transformation – this one took just seconds to achieve, but the result was just as powerful!
And, while it makes for good TV and PR, transformations aren’t likely to change anything but the surface.
We love ‘em, though, don’t we? We love that there are a few people out there willing to go to unbelievable extremes to get what they want – even if it's just for 15 minutes of fame. And, that’s just about how long, on average, those transformations last. Because as quickly as it took Oprah or Britney to transform themselves, it takes about the same amount of time for everyone to revert to their old ways.
Lesson learned.
So, starting next week, I’m beginning a new series on my progress with this really great, writing technique proven to get results in as little as 30 days! It’s true! Professionals agree - even Pulitzer Prize winning authors endorse this method.
It’s called…..wait for it….
Writing.
Every.
Single.
Day.
So much for transformations.
