I remember last year when I decided I was going to write 365 posts and that would mean one post per day, I burned with doubts. What the hell was I going to write about every day of my life?
Surprisingly, I made it! And it was a victory, I reviled in time and time again. The thing about setting clear goals to stay committed to a certain task for a designated time is that you build confidence in your abilities.
There were days when I just wanted to crawl up and make up excuses in my head, but, I remembered, I had a responsibility to keep my word, and I stood up and shared my thoughts.
There were also days I suffered heartaches, and breakdowns that could have hindered me to publish a post but I found that I turned an adverse situation into a motivation to write something.
It was completely stunning to find that I even wrote better posts on the days when I was fighting an inner or offline battle.
So, when Collins preaches that accomplishing a 20 Mile March builds confidence, I completely agreed because I am a living testimony to that. No one should blame circumstances or our environment for the outcomes of our financial breakthroughs or downturns. We are directly responsible for the results that we get because it's mostly based on our performance. Practicing to hit the mark even during heinous situations as I did helps you to function even in dire situations.
