The Unforeseen Power of The Habit

Train the Spark

The spark comes in many different shapes and sizes, you never know when it might strike. Although, with regular habits and practice, you can all but make sure it does strike at certain times of the day with relatively regular consistency.

And even if it doesn’t come straight away, by forcing something out, by ‘idea vomiting’ as Chris Beresford-Hill puts it, you train your spark to always be on in the background, to always be churning away.

That is the unforeseen power of the habit. That is the magic that comes about when you dedicate yourself to a habit for prolonged periods of time. Things strike you unexpected moments that can and will turn up the dial. And all you have to do, is to build the habit.

Easier said than done, but easy and impossible are two different things.
