The Strong Accept Responsibility

“If we judge as good and evil only the things in the power of our own choice, then there is no room left for blaming gods or being hostile to others” - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.41

Are you procrastinating? Doing other stuff every day than your needle movers?

I will answer the question for you… Yes, you do! Be honest to yourself and admit it.

I know I do and I am not an exception. The important thing is to recognize that you are doing it and then do something about it.

"The strong accept responsibility"

The Buck Stops Here

The American President Harry S. Truman had a sign of his office desk that read;

“The Buck Stops Here”

It is a powerful statement with a tremendous impact when you get it. I am going to ask you one thing that will give some clues to the meaning of both Marcus Aurelius writings and Harry S, Truman's desk sign;

Are you accountable to yourself every day?......🤔

Or are you blaming others or external circumstances for not having the progress you want in what you have started?

Harry S, Truman knew and understood that sitting in the office of the President of the USA, gave him awesome power and control over everyone else in the world.

And he also understood that he couldn’t blame any other, for anything good or bad than himself….

He could not pass the buck to anyone else. The Oval Office was the end station.

We are presidents of our own lives. We cannot control events or things outside our sphere of reasoned choice, We can control our attitudes and our responses to what is happening in our lives. We would be well served to adopt and nourish the same attitude.

Start Writing Already

Stop procrastination and just start writing about anything! It doesn’t matter if it is about your niche or whatever. It will help you get into the habit of writing.

What should you do then? Easy answer….

Start writing already!!

Your content is what gets you from A to B. There are many examples to this on the WA platform and there are a lot of examples elsewhere.

Who is getting the most likes, love’s and comments on different social media platforms? Who is getting the most visitors to their websites?? And I mean organic traffic…..

It is people that are putting their content out there frequently with content of value that attracts interest. They put pictures, short posts, long-form, tutorials, reviews, sharing of great resources and more.

Understand that writing is a core skill we need to master in our game. Writing is a core skill within your Primary Field of Interest (PFI), which in my case is affiliate marketing by blogging.

Which by "coincidence" is the primary method that Wealthy Affiliate is teaching us

Some Final Words

I hope that this finds you well on a Saturday morning (for me it is 9:30 AM). I got up at 7 AM, took a shower, walked the dog, meditated, planned my day, got a fire going in our fireplace in our living room, read my Stoics, High 5’ed myself, and wrote this blog post.

What do you do to keep going when your mind goes blank, and you feel that you have nothing to write about or do to keep the momentum in your online business going?
