Every once in a while, we all need reminders.

• We aren’t the first person to do this.
• We aren’t the last person to do this.
• We are older than we were when we did it last.
• We didn’t know how to do it then either, just like they are learning it now.
• There is a first time for everything.
• That you should always write, edit and rewrite. Even when you have a deadline.
• You are not the only person going through it right now.
• You are not the only one to think that…

Reminders of what it was like for you 5 years ago, 10 years ago…and ok, let’s just say 20 or longer can also help. We may have been there, but if they haven’t – it is all new to them and sometimes, it is all new to you, too.
