About Serge ‘Mage’ Cote
Why do I write?
I believe in the butterfly effect.
As small my influence may be on the planet, it is still influence. I want to orient it for the better.
I write my book with the idea of bringing something good into this world.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
– Edmund Burke
I want my books to be a good place to be. A place that you visit often and feel good about it.
I want my books to bring good energy so the readers will take action to make this world a better place.
I want my books to guide those who don’t know why they feel so bad about their life.
I want my books to be there after I’ll be gone. I want people to come back to them and use them in a positive way.
“The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.”
– William James
Even if you think it’s not that good, keep everything you write.
All your text will need revising. It’s a fact for 98% of the first draft. Thereメs few writers that can create a first draft that is good enough to publish directly.
Even if your text needs a big rewriting, it doesn’t mean that it’s trash.
Some of the great work published wasn’t that great as a first draft. After hours and hours of rewriting, the finish work published became a bestseller.
Did you ever wonder if you do have a best seller waiting to be published in your pile of unfinished text?
Maybe you have already wrote your first best seller.
“Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.”
– Stephen King
The first best seller of Stephen King (Carrie) went in the trash. It’s his wife who took it out and ask him to finish it. If it was only for the King, that book would never been published.
No writing is wasted. If it doesn’t end into a bestseller, it will help you create something even better. The more you write, the better you become at it.
You have to be attentive to the quality of your text and do work on getting them better.
Opportunities has to be identified before you can take them.
Keep your eyes open and take action.
It will be hard. Keep going on.
You’ll end up with little result. Keep going on.
When you feel down, reach deep into yourself to find good moments. Use those memories to drive you to keep going on.
People will try to stop you. Some will do it thinking they are helping you. Keep going on. They’ll understand when you’ll reach your dream.
No one can understand how you feel, so stop asking for support. Keep going on.
Be grateful for the good you already have. Believe that more is coming and it will.
You will lose as anyone. Keep going on.
Nothing worth in life is built by people who quit.
Invest the time and energy.
Invest your passion day after day.
Obstacle will be there, and you’ll find a way around them.
Believe that you can reach your dream.
As you keep going on, you’ll learn from your mistake.
You’ll get knocked down. Stand up and keep going on.
The people who give up when things become difficult, they have to live with that for the rest of their life. It’s a pain that cannot be resolved because you can’t change the past.
Take a moment to relax and think of your reason why.
It takes a moment to refill your motivation. A moment to focus back on what you want to accomplish. A moment to see clearly your reason why.
When you feel down.
When things are not working as you would want them.
When you just want to quit.
Take a moment to calm down.
Let your reason why rise up from your heart. Let it clean all the negative energy that has flown into your life. Let it set you back to your full energy.
You’ll do your best work when you are focus on your why.
Do you have your WHY?
If you don’t know what you want to achieve, how will you do it?
If you don’t know where you are heading, how will you get there?
If you don’t have your WHY, take a piece of paper and write down something that will motivate you to take action. Something that you believe you can reach, but also something that you know will be hard for you. It’s not about anyone else, it’s all about you. Your WHY is only for you. No one’s needs to know about it.
Why do you do what you do?
Are you ready to do the extra miles?
Your why will bring you the courage to reach for your dream.
