<h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2>
<p>History is littered with examples of successful (and unsuccessful) people who kept daily journals. It ranges from Marcus Aurelius to Ben Franklin, and from Mark Twain to George Lucas. But what on earth did they write about?</p>
<p>Because it&rsquo;s easy to imagine our heroes as unflappable juggernauts, who conquer insecurity with a majestic mental karate chop every morning. This is, of course, an illusion. Most people you see on magazine covers have plenty of mornings when they&rsquo;d rather hide under the covers all day long.</p>
<p>What I needed was a daily and meditative practice of production, like the tea ceremony. So, voila, I bought the journal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I don&rsquo;t journal to &ldquo;be productive.&rdquo; I don&rsquo;t do it to find great ideas, or to put down prose I can later publish. The pages aren&rsquo;t intended for anyone but me. Morning pages are, as author Julia Cameron puts it, &ldquo;spiritual windshield wipers.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s the most cost-effective therapy I&rsquo;ve ever found. To quote her further, from page viii:</p>
<p>&ldquo;Once we get those muddy, maddening, confusing thoughts [nebulous worries, jitters, and preoccupations] on the page, we face our day with clearer eyes.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Even if you consider yourself a terrible writer, writing can be viewed as a tool that you can and should use. There are huge benefits to writing, even if no one &mdash; yourself included &mdash; ever reads what you write. In other words, the process matters more than the product.</p>

<li>] my ANA - &nbsp;write about people waiting for him, &gt; waiting when your a/the peon, BUT he is used to be on offense, now he feels like he is on defense, protecting his time, money, relationships, space, etc, its like eating from someone elses buffet VS cooking your own food&nbsp;</li>
<li>] his ANA - 2 ways to interpret, not exclusive -&nbsp;</li>
<ol>
<li>] conflicts between goals(success) and outcome (100x inbound), realized big wins have come from being agressive, with success one feels that they have to be defensive instead of offensive, this runs counter to his DNA, conclusion - needs to divest himself of assets that need protecting OR better delegate this responsability</li>
<li>] caging my monkey mind to get on with my day - morning pages dont need to solve your problems, the need to get them out of your head. could bitching and moaning for 5 minutes on paper every day change your life - i believe yes&nbsp;</li>
