That's a fair point. I keep seeing examples every day of the imperative of not quitting. In theory it's so obvious, right? In practice, what I find, is I will have a wonderful boost of confidence and productivity and then when my goal is not met, I start to wonder why, and it's when I can't figure out why that I begin to lose my cool. Non-writing example: trying to find a new girlfriend (opened my marriage recently). It's funny because on these dating websites, in theory, you are sometimes as much as a 99 percent match and yet you do not in fact resonate with them (and perhaps vice versa). And that's when I begin to ask myself: "why?" When I get frustrated, I'm simply not following my bliss as honestly and fully as I think I am. Well, thanks for the article. I will experiment with your advise. Good luck on your endeavors.
