Ways to Write through Your Storms

Life isn’t always a sun shiny day. We have all been faced with ups and downs good times and bad times. However, did you know that writing is therapeutic to your soul?

Journaling
I want to share with you the therapeutic effect writing can have upon an individual’s life. About 13 years ago I started a prayer journal at the urgency of one of my pastoral friends Pastor Compton Ross. I had no idea of how to put one together, but I designed it especially for my praying needs.

When I started the journal I had no idea that this journal would be a blessing to me in one of the most trying times in my life. Months later my marriage took a nosedive and crashed and burned.

Daily writing in that prayer journal daily helped me a great deal with everything that was going on in my life. Despite my heart-wrenching divorce and other problems I would face. My prayer journal not only helped change my perspective upon life.

It became a testimony to me on just how good God had been to me despite the trials and tribulations that we face. As I went through my daily ritual of writing in my journal, I would check my previous request and see not only answers but experience some miracles.

This journal was therapeutic to my soul because it was a reflection of my past trials and tribulations and testament on how things just worked out.

That was the first journal that I ever started. Since then I have started various journals that not only reflect my life but serves as a memoir to read later on. And if I ever decide to write a book on it I have all of my intended history readily available at my fingertips.

Writing Letters
When I give counsel people about them having gripes with their friends, or family I suggest to them to write a letter to the person that has offended them. They may never hand or send the letter off but this is an effective way to get in contact with their emotions and burry them their.

Sometimes just expressing ourselves on paper will help us feel better about our situations and life in general. What are you waiting on write through your own storms today.

Writing It Down

Writing is my passion. From the days of my scribbling on the walls of my house and anything that I could get my hands on I have loved doing it. This week I want to talk about writing.

Before you go on thinking that reading about writing is not in your best interest, I want you to guess again.

Consider the fact that you spend a great deal of time writing letters, signing checks, memos, thank you notes, articles, or even reports. Writing is for any and everyone in some way shape or form.

This week we will dive into the joys of writing with all of its many benefits. I remember years ago while attending public school the teacher made us keep a journal. My daughter Amanda keeps a journal.

I am about to start 2 journals this week. The first is my dream journal and the second is my writing journal. I believe they will both profoundly change my life. It is all about writing it down.

They say that the first step to manifest anything that you want is to write it down on paper. When you write your words or thoughts down it brings your words into the first realm of the physical world.

Healthy Living

It is sad to know that thousands of people take better care of their homes and cars better than they do their own bodies. After receiving a call from the doctors office about my latest check-up several weeks ago, the nurse told me that my results were good, but my cholesterol was a little high. I decided to become more dedicated to taking care of myself starting with that day.

As we get older the things we use to do start catching up to us. I know I have made some poor choices in meals. However, I’m determined to take better care of my health. After all you only live once and only have one you.

We should take better care of ourselves.

The same way we take care of our homes so their value does not depreciate and those vehicles we drive around town we must do with our own bodies. We will look better, feel better, and live better.

Health is what you make it. If we exercise poor health habits we will experience poor health, but if we exercise good health habits we will experience good health. The choice is yours.

Changing Your Course

Have you ever reached a point in your life when you said enough is enough it is time for a change?

I know that I have been there before.

In fact, I can recall many years ago when I used to work as a security officer at a particular firm. Let’s call them ABC Security (the name has been changed to protect the innocent). I used to protect property and deter crime from happening at different locations they had in the New York metropolitan area.

I enjoyed being a security officer, but knew that was not my destiny.

I didn’t believe I had many transferable skills to parlay into another occupation, but I did.

ABC Security was the bottom of a leaking barrel. They paid their security officers a measly salary, demanded a great deal from their officers, were rude and very disrespectful to their employees. I knew that I didn’t want to work for them long. In fact, in my mind I was already through with doing security work. I wanted more.

I began to study how I could break into magazine publications. I set out on a course to never work for anyone who couldn’t respect it’s employers and didn’t pay me what I was worth. I designed a strategic plan to not only leave this job but pursue my dream of working for a publication.

By faith, I stepped out believing that my dream would be a reality. I left ABC Security with no regrets and walked into publications. Since then I have worked for more than six different magazines, four of them are international.

Here is what I did to make it all happen and you can do so too.

Studied What I wanted to Do Profusely
Projected My focus on What I truly Desired
Believing Wholeheartedly My Desire was Attainable
Designing your Blueprint for Success
Work Your Plan Daily
Keep On Keeping On

This too can change your course by bringing fourth an abundance of unlimited resources and opportunities of a lifetime. Believe in yourself, apply this formula and experience some amazing things. You will love the results. I guarantee it.

"If you employed study, thinking, and planning time daily, you could develop and use the power that can change the course of your destiny." ~ W. Clement Stone

The Wishing Well

I have always been fascinated with wishing wells. There was always something magical about digging into your pocket to retrieve a coin, closing your eyes making a wish right before launching that coin into the well. Having the faith that what you just wished for would come true sure enough and soon enough.

As children we wished until our hearts were content with the results we desired. However, since we have become adults we don’t wish enough to get the results we want.

This week I want you to wish more. I want you to believe you will receive what you want if you just exercise more faith. I’m talking about exercising the faith of a child when they toss coins into the wishing well. Keep the wishing well of your minds filled with new shiny coins that will pay off in abundance in your life.

“Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for lessproblems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge; wish for more wisdom.” Jim Rohn

From Start 2 Finish

How many times have you started a new project and didn’t finish it? I can remember doing this several times. When need to practice more follow-through-it-ness. I coined that phrase. This is the power to start a project through to the finish.

”There is nothing so fatal to character as half finished tasks.” David Lloyd George

“For every finish-line tape a runner breaks - complete with the cheers of the crowd and the clicking of hundreds of cameras - there are the hours of hard and often lonely work that rarely gets talked about.” Grete Waitz

Unlimited Power

"Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action." ~ Orison Swett Marden
