One day, the threads will run out and your life will be over. When your friends and loved ones reflect on your final tapestry, what will they see? Will they see shadows and a hint of greatness that was never fulfilled? Or will they stand in awe at the bold shapes and bright colors that helped them see they could create a beautiful tapestry, too?

Which picture will they see? The choice is up to you.

Your words are the most powerful tool you will ever own. Don’t let another day slip away without using them to weave a better future for yourself and those you care about.

A master craftsman weaves one thread at a time. When you stand back and look at the complicated pattern, you wonder how in the world they managed to create something so complex and beautiful. How did they do it?

One thread at a time.

Years from now, people will wonder how you achieved so much with your writing. But it won’t be a mystery. Like a master artist who weaves a tapestry, you used each day as a thread to weave a life and legacy of words.

You will have done it because you were a Daily Writer.

Question: Are you using today—THIS DAY—to weave a beautiful tapestry with your words?

We’ve spent the last couple of weeks talking about several milestones in The Writer’s Path. I want to emphasize again that these are not necessarily sequential in the sense that you can’t move on to the next one until the current one is completed. Rather, these are all just pieces of the larger puzzle of a writing business, and you will continually refine them as you go along.

Today I want to share three primary benefits of approaching your writing business in the way I’ve suggested, using The Writer’s Path:

First, there is less stress because you know exactly where you are and what you need to do next. Many writers get paralyzed because they get distracted by people doing all kinds of different things. The Writer’s Path gives you clarity.

Second, you have clear goals for your business, instead of feeling like you have to do everything at once. This is critical because it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the things you feel you should be doing, instead of focusing on the next thing in front of you.

Third, you will have less tendency to compare yourself because you can see where others’ success has come from following these steps, instead of just having blind luck or more talent.

I truly believe in what I’m sharing about The Writer’s Path. If you put these principles into practice, they will absolutely transform your writing business and give you a clear pathway forward. Tomorrow we’ll talk about a few examples of people who have used this same framework to build their writing business.
