Stop trying to find your voice. You never will.

Because the “voice” you seek as a writer, artist, or creator can’t be found.

Your voice can only be developed.

Look at the definitions of the words (because semantics matter):

FIND: Discover or perceive by chance or unexpectedly.

DEVELOP: Grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced or elaborate.

Trying to find something is just hoping to get lucky.

By definition, it’s something that happens to you — not something you control.

It’s a crapshoot. Banking your success on “finding” your voice, is the same as buying a lottery ticket.

To develop something is completely different.

By definition, it’s about taking action to make something happen.

Success may not be guaranteed, but the odds are significantly better.

Which would you rather pursue? I assume the latter.

So here are some ways to develop your voice…

Do what you’re scared to do.
