MANIFESTO FOR PERSONAL PRACTICE

Forgive me, this might be a good family moment.
Let me get a good look at ya.

What do you need today?
Do you know? Do you really know?
It must be different for you.
So, what do you need?
Good. Put that at the top of your list.

Now do that thing at the top.
No, do it right.
Do it again.
Do it again ‘til it’s done.
You’re gonna have to assert yourself, punkin.

Emotional labor is labor.
Physical labor is labor.
Intellectual labor is labor.
Spiritual labor is labor.
Your working is the work

It feels good.
It feels bad.
It feels good.
It probably won’t be like this forever.

If this is the sacrifice, you’re doin’ all right.
