a small incidence from Swami Vivekananda’s life
‘once swamiji along with his disciples were walking up towards a place which was on a mountain, the road was very steep. once disciple was tired and said ” I can’t walk any further, its too tiring”
Swamiji replied,”see the road behind u, it has been travelled by you. see the road beneath your feet, u r already on it, c the road ahead, soon it will also be under your feet. don’t ever stop till your reach your target.”

this one always inspires me.
felt it worth sharing.

If you check out the archives there are quite a few entries. -Scott John,

Doing more and more sketches opened up more avenues of creativity and gave us more directions to go in. I should do that for my blog, too, and brainstorm 20 ideas just to get the wheels turning.

You are the bomb. In my opinion, writing is about consistency. Something I need to remember for my own benefit. There is power in just doing it. One word leads to the next and so on. Churn is a great way to look at getting better at your craft. What matters to me as a writer, beyond the Nike theory of "Just Do It", is the passion in my thoughts and words. Without this passion, I believe the candle wick is short and will burn out quick. Passion leads us forward in our words, stories, and article. Passion leads us forward in life. Go churn passionately, and let inspiration and energy create new frontiers in writing. Scott –

I really like your point about quality inputs. We need to be selective about our inputs because it's easy to come across dozens of poor quality ones. With a couple good ones a week, that's over 100 per year, which can make for a lot of interesting outputs. Thanks for the good read. Good post, Scott. I really like your point about quality inputs.
