Danger: Black Hole

In space, a black hole is a location that has so much gravity that nothing can escape its pull, including light.

We all know the properties of gravity to ground and tether us to the earth. And, yes, for the most part that's a very good thing.

But in terms of writing your life 'story' too much gravity (or grounding yourself in the status quo) is definitely bad. And it gets even worse when there is absolutely no movement toward your life's goals which will shut out any 'light' that would guide you.

What's the fix?

Gravity is overcome by movement. Taking steps toward your goal every day will prevent a black hole from forming.

Since my life 'story' revolves around writing, I write every day. I also look for contests to enter, other writer's work to comment on, and of course, books to read.

Gravity, or inactivity, will hold you down but when writing your life 'story,' the only movement that counts is forward.
