Don’t force yourself to do it.
A clear distinction here is things that you think you “should“ do, and things that you must do.
For example, I think the reason why it is so hard for people to start exercising and working out, going to the gym is this:
They don’t want to.
For many people, it feels like this strange duty that one must do, rather than something that one wants to do.
Maybe the same thing is with blogging, vlogging, starting a YouTube channel, etc.; nobody should feel like they must do something against their own will, a lot of people think they “should“ do it, for marketing, business purposes etc. However, I say if your soul is not really into it, don’t even bother.
100% passion or nothing.

- For My Part, I Prefer My Heart To Be BrokenFor my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack. — D.H. Lawrence Until this moment, I had not realized that someone could break your heart twice, along the very same fault lines. — Jodi Picoult from My Sister’s Keeper
- Say That I Was StarvedSay that I starved; that I was lost and weary;That I was burned and blinded by the desert sun;Footsore, thirsty, sick with strange diseases;Lonely and wet and cold, but that I kept my dream! — Everitt Ruess
- Things Get Broken And Sometimes They Get Repaired…things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully. — Hanya Yanagihara, from A Little Life
- You Be The GirlYou, over there, you be the girl In red sequins on the front of a card selling love. — Mary Jo Bang from poem February Elegy
- There Is No Rest For There Are Many Miles To WalkThere is no rest for there are many miles to walk in the small house, traveling past the same chairs, the same tables, the same glassy portraits on the walls, flowing into darkness. — Horace Gregory From poem Interior: The Suburbs
