The bad days.
There are days when we have no motivation, no excitement and even no energy to do the creative work, the work that we have signed up for. The brain doesn't work, the creative juices don't flow, things just don't feel right.
These are the days where we are most likely to quit and most likely to give into the voice of resistance.
On these days, even if it might feel like auto-pilot, even if it might not end up being your best work, even if it simply doesn't make sense to show up, the work that we do on the bad days make us a professional.
The professional, despite hating a bad show, knows that it's way better than a no show.
