Write Your Story
We all have stories and thoughts we would like to share or store, memories and imaginations we would like to cherish, anecdotes and chronicles that we would like to depict, and writing helps us preserve those stories. When your memory fails you, the ink or the bytes are what will take you back down the memory lane, reminding you of the stories that kept you going. Whether happy or sad, exciting or boring, fact or fantasy, if you have written about it, it has shaped your life, whether you liked it or not.
Writing inspires you and others.
You discover things when you write — memories, perspectives, emotions, goals, directions, passion and so much more. You understand why you feel how you feel, and retrospection based on writing does help in bringing recognizance to actions of the past. You are able to see areas of growth and improvement, you are able to see yourself better and push yourself to do better.
You identify yourself better when you express yourself with words.
Sharing your story with others might help someone to see hope in their situations. Your story of how you overcame tough times might give someone the courage to fight their battle. Your story of faith might help someone hold on longer to experience a miracle. Your story of success might inspire someone to not give up on their dreams. Your story of love might restore someone’s faith in relationships.
Writing gives you purpose.
You take up a pen or type out your thoughts for a reason. You write to release the story that formed in your head, to express your beliefs, to help bring a change in the community, to provide facts and share knowledge, or make it a channel for catharsis of your feelings.
But whatever the reason you write for, it strengthens your purpose. Writing helps you clearly articulate and communicate content with a wider audience, depending on the medium where you write. You serve people with your writing, you have the power to change minds, bring perspective and educate others.
Putting down your thoughts into words helps you understand them better, preserve them and put things into perspective.
Writing also serves you, as a writer. It challenges you, motivates you to do better, give you focus and perseverance, shows you a direction and keeps your passion alive. It helps you seek fulfillment in your purpose and reminds you to strive towards that purpose at all times.
Writing boosts your creativity.
Putting your ideas, thoughts, and stories into words includes exploring those facets of your brain that reason, form associations, and stimulate you. Writing regularly helps you to process information better and convert complex concepts, unexplainable ideas into better sentences that are easier to communicate. It is your own form of creativity and innovation. Your unique expression of your world view, your life view.
You create pieces, sometimes masterpieces of words woven into meaningful sentences, and form stories that inspire, motivate and impact people or yourself.
Writing your stories can help calm a distracted soul, energize your being, entertain a reader, educate the ignorant, or even help lost memories to resurface and broken relationships to be fixed.
Write to inspire, write to motivate, write to make an impact, write to bring a change, because even when you are gone, your words live on forever!
