"Get busy living, or get busy dying"

When I hear people tell me:

“What camera should I get to take better pictures?”

Or:

“How do people find the time to write?”

Or my personal favorite:

“If I only had the time…”

It drives me crazy. These are all just essentially excuses for the same problem. Just do it already.

It’s not about the camera, it’s about using it. It’s not about finding the time to write, it’s about sitting down and doing it. It’s not about having time, it’s about making time.

Time is a finite resource. It’s so damn cliche to say, but as I approach my 29th birthday and am surrounded by 22 and 23 year olds who are incredibly smart, talented and accomplished it’s even more apparent. Just decide what you want to do and work you ass off doing it. Putting something off or waiting until later isn’t going to get it done.

Stop, or at the very least reduce, the re-blogging, re-tweeting, re-sharing, regurgitation and make something. Produce content. Create a great design, dust off that camera and start taking photos or close that browser and start writing.

Because trust me, there are plenty of people out there sharing. Do something different…

Make something.
