The 365 Commitment

Day 359 – Write it Down

If you write it down it will come true. If you can write it down it will come true. Notice the subtle difference in these two phrases? The latter emphasizes the concept that if you can articulate your ambition then it is much more likely to happen. Key emphasis on articulate.

If you are like me, you have gone through life with a vague concept of what you want to become but have rarely sat down and actually defined exactly what that is.

It seems that is the primary challenge, because once you are able to clearly explain it you can then write it down and it will come true.

Dont believe? Can’t hurt to try it. Sit down and really think about what you want to achieve, write it down and see what happens.
