Thirty-Three: Channeling Ernest Hemingway In The Time Of Coranavirus


“In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you'll dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dull and know I had to put it to the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.

Ernest Hemingway


    Live your Life to the fullest. Hemingway would punch it in the nose. He was a battler a hard driving, hard drinking, hard living, deep loving, deeply driven soul. You would do well to channel his spirit in these times. Confront the things that you fear, with all his success Hemingway was said to be afraid of success. Are you your own worst enemy? Are you engaged in your negative self talk? Are you listening to the wrong you? The you that is in your home and living in fear. Step out of your comfort zones. My moments of greatest personal triumphs have been the times that caution has been thrown to the wind. Let your self soar! Do what it is you have always wanted to do! Not even Covid- 19 can stop you! Be safe take care of yourself, but plan for your finest hour. It is already in the ether!
