199.Ever Wonder What to Write? The Writing Process

If you ever question yourself in what to write, I suggest you start journaling. Before you tune this message completely out, words and musings don’t need to be elaborate or even eloquent. Just putting thoughts and feelings on a page starts the writing process. I have been encouraged to write my thoughts down through the years ever since high school and uncovering some of my writings is revealing in many ways. At this point, I am wondering if our kids will ever take the time to read some of my sketched out thoughts. There are actually some entries I hope they don’t read, but I have kept many of my writings and my personal journal books.

Recently, when cleaning out a cabinet, I ran across a small notebook I had penned ten years ago and I almost tossed it. But I’m glad I didn’t. It was interesting to find I was facing some of the same feelings today as I was back then. I was addressing my awareness of change in the market and changes in my career. I also found written out prayers for our sons and their futures as well as my personal feelings of inadequacy, which were unfounded in many ways, but were still honest feelings. I was able to watch, from reading the words on the page, how I was able to personally work through many of the feelings I had. Some of that process I was applying to my life at that time have carried over to systems I have implemented in my work to help others today.

Even if you have never spent time journaling, I’m going to cover four principles on what to write to spark your imagination. Hopefully this will help you to move forward not only in your ability to work through your feelings, but to move ahead in your life, getting out of endless roundabouts.
