About This Quote

There are two reasons for this rule: Getting the work done and connecting with your unconscious mind. The first reason is simple, you must write every day if you want to get the work done. If a person keeps a journal, or a blog, or a blog page or a website, they must write in it every day to keep themselves accountable for their work. They have to stay in contact with themselves so that they can know when they need to change something. This is the same concept that Nelson Mandela was referring to when he said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
