I’ve been sitting on some writing about forgiveness for months.
I keep promoting other tasks into “should-dos” when they aren’t. I bump them to the top of my list—not to avoid finishing this forgiveness piece, but to delay facing the next part.
The scarier part.
The “out-there” part.
The “doing-something-with-it” part.
When it’s done, I’ll have fewer excuses not to ship. While it remains incomplete, there are many.
I’m noticing how often the word “when” attaches itself to reasonable-sounding conditions.
When it’s finished.
When it’s perfect.
When the timing is right.
However, preceded by “If not now,” when challenges me to answer succinctly.
Not with conditions, but with a time or date I commit to.
