If there is one thing that I’m going to be mad at, it’s not that I showed up each day with imperfect work, rather that I didn’t show up.

A thought that I have frequently is–

I wish I started this 5 years ago. I would be so far if I had.

You know how it goes.

The best day to start was yesterday. The next best day is today.

But, even then, starting 5 years ago does not matter.

What matters is that I keep showing up. Day in. Day out.

In high school I was very interested in investing in the stock market. I would write notes on the markets on a daily basis my senior year.

But, then coming to college, I got carried away.

I thought my writing was basic. It was time to move on. To bigger and better things. At least I thought.

Why? Because I used to do it when I was in high school.

I tied the activity of writing about the markets with something I did in high school, and thus, was not sophisticated.

I also felt that I didn’t have the depth I wanted.

So, I stopped writing and following the markets on a regular basis.

But, now nearing the end of college, I have come back to those same skills. Working the same muscles.

The only thing I wished – I kept writing.

Keep doing the thing.

Writing didn’t get old.

My thoughts grew old. Because I was not nourishing them. That was my problem.

Interestingly enough, I have gone back to writing those same market updates, just with a different style and perspective. But with the same goal – learn by sharing.
