Create Your Daily Practice
by Michael Feeley
I’M THINKING ABOUT people who have created a daily practice.
People who are steadily paying attention to something that matters to them, working at refining their skills – athletes, artists, writers, singers, bakers, people who meditate, runners, people exercising, practicing yoga, parents raising children, students studying, chefs and restaurants, other businesses, composers, teachers+++ who practice living life.
I recently learned this about the way Russian composer Tchaikovsky created:
“You can’t await inspiration… What is needed is work, work, and work. Inspiration is born only of work and during work. Every morning I sit down to work. If from this nothing comes today, I’ll sit down tomorrow at the very same work. Thus, I write for one day, for two, for ten days, not despairing if nothing comes, for on the eleventh day, you will see, something will come.”
Thrilling!
He’s right as he teaches us to focus on consistency and commitment – finding our daily time and place to build a pattern of work that meets our needs and has us feel expressed.
And with the practice is the essential thing – to produce and ship – to get results that can solve problems and
make people happy.
Thanks – Michael (he, him)
