It’s About The Change

Before deciding to embark on a passion project (like writing a novel for example), don’t worry about how long it will take. It takes what it takes. (This can be your personal mantra as well as your response when people ask you, “How much longer?” Or “Is it finished yet?”)

And trust that even if it takes a lifetime to complete, or you never complete it, or you quit and decide to do something else, that the time spent on the pursuit was well worth it.

The reason being is that it’s not about the outcome. It never was (even if you thought it was at the outset). It’s about how much you will grow and change as a result of the pursuit. And you will grow and change. Right down to the cellular level.

P.S. – H/t to my friend Sue for inspiring this post.
