We face hundreds of choices daily. We make mundane decisions without a thought. What to eat for lunch, the route we take to work, each may seem inconsequential. But we often opt to pursue a new career or move halfway around the globe, life-altering moves, taken with little regard to consequences. Large or trivial, each decision has the potential to impact the quality of our world.
Conscious reflection leads to a developed philosophy as opposed to relying on emotions and gut instincts. Writing, reasoning, and contemplation allow us to lead an examined existence, one worth living, they say.
The process boosts my rational mind and organizes my thoughts. Through my work, I discover clarity and direction. It helps me develop a phenomenal vision of the future. Cultivating extraordinary farsightedness grants me the ability to imagine a destiny built on intention. Living in a manner aligned with my core values crystalizes as I compose.
The more I write, the more self-fulfilled I feel, which feeds my reasons for continuing my ritual. Now there is a nice Catch 22.
Why do you write?

I’ve discovered that writing is an exploration. Much of my work (as a librarian – go figure) involved spreadsheets, performance indicators, classification… most of my writing was instruction leaflets and my adult learning degree was in maths. Maths is vary much a discipline that builds onto what you have learned so far.
I find that writing (taken up in retirement) is the same. Although I took online courses and read all those articles when I started, it is too much to take in. Only now am I seeing the point to some of the advice I read at the beginning and going back to apply it to my work.
And it’s fun finding out if I can do it.

Cathy you are speaking to the choir. 😊 I love the learning process. Developing a new skill set, while difficult at times, is also a very rewarding undertaking.
Writing is such a wonderful way to clarify thoughts, and discover new ideas. It is exciting and fun. I know you can do whatever you set your mind to.

I write to release my mind of the thoughts that inhabit it.
