Does the Thought of Writing a Blog Post Make You Cringe a Bit?
I know for me at times it still does.
What do I write about?
How do I share my thoughts so I relay the information the way I want it to be received?
I do blog about a few different things..ie, self=improvement, fashion, sports and trending news. When I write about things, I’m sharing my perspective on those topics, which at times I think I need to be an expert on the subject. But, as I go along in my life, I realize I’m learning, just like everyone else is(or should be) and the beauty of it is I actually learn more when I share or write about what I’m experiencing or learning because it makes me dig deep down to understand things. It matters to me that I’m authentic, honest with myself and sincere…not perfect, righteous and all-knowing. Many people will tell you that I’m not all-knowing, lol. and definitely not perfect, the righteous, well I’m sure that I veer that way once in a while. So, here’s a lesson that I’ve learned, share and write about the books you read and what you learn from them, and your experiences in life, if for the only reason, it will cause you to dig down inside yourself and learn from them, and help to make a better life for yourself!
That’s what is so powerful about blogging and the internet, we can share ideas, thoughts and experiences that we have, with others so they can learn and be inspired to change, grow and improve their life. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I will tell you I do have experiences that I know other people have had, and those people would like to know how to not experience them again or if they do experience them to have a better result from the experience.
On the subject of self-improvement…really, what I mean is, to live life on your terms, to be in the “flow” of amazing life experiences, it’s so important to read books to help you get a clear understanding of how our world works. To understand human behavior, why we do the things we do, and how to make our life and the lives of those that we encounter, better. Lately, I have been reading books by James Allen.I find his writings very thought provoking. It takes me some time to read, ponder and digest his ideas, but WOW, they are excellent. At this time, I am reading “Man: king of mind, body and circumstance”, by James Allen. Here is an excerpt from that book talking about our deeds-actions and the deeds-actions of others are to be handled, depending on what type of life you want…happiness or unhappiness.
that external things and deeds are powerless to injure you. The cause of your bondage as of your deliverance is within. The injury that comes to you through others is the rebound of your own deed, the reflex of your own mental attitude. They are the instruments, you are the cause. Destiny is ripened deeds.
Destiny is ripened deeds!
And as with the conduct of others, so is it with external things – with surroundings and circumstances – in themselves they are neither good nor bad, it is the mental attitude and state of heart that makes them so. A man imagines he could do great things if he were not hampered by circumstances – by want of money, want of time, want of influence, and want of freedom from family ties. In reality the man is not hindered by these things at all. He, in his mind, ascribes to them a power which they do not possess, and he submits not to them, but to his opinion about them, that is, to a weak element in his nature. The real “want” that hampers him is the want of the right attitude of mind.
And so it goes to be in the “flow” of an amazing life, we must have the “right attitude of mind”!
