“Write To Discover Yourself”
You know!
I hated writing.
But something had changed over 4 years. (from 1st year to 4th year of my college)
I developed a habit of writing.
I started to write every day. Check out my Instagram, X, Thread, & Newsletters. It was tough at the beginning, but slowly becomes smoother as I got to understand myself deeper.
Reading & writing, both are the tools used by humans to discover themselves and pass down the knowledge to the future generations.
I wrote a post on, why I choose writing:
Initially, I write to make money but frankly speaking, till now I haven’t earned a single penny through it. In addition to, I understood that first you need to focus on “learning” and “discovering” your true path.
If you want to keep writing then associate your writings with a vision. Without a vision writing and reading both becomes vague.
Let’s understand How writing can help you to discover your true self?
Writing and Discovering Yourself
The 7 demands that needs to be fulfilled while writing:
1. Writing demands patience
“Impatience reveals your character.”
You write, but you must be patience enough to let the words and ideas flow into your mind. You might observe that you’re an anxious person. You would feel how impatience you are through the tensions rising in your body & the uncontrolled nature of the mind.
Learn to stay with all those unsolved emotions of yours.
2. Writing demands curiosity
“You’re not curious because you’re living someone else life.”
Your true path will always lead you through questioning and self-doubt.
So, if you are not curious enough to write about your ideas every morning then put a question mark on whatever you’re currently pursuing.
3. Writing demands passion
“Your passion is revealed on writing every day.”
You’ll find the words and the topics that you can’t stop writing about. Once you find them, then they will act as a lens to identify your true passion.
But if you feel bore to write in the process, don’t stop, and keep writing till you find it.
4. Writing demands uniqueness
“Uniqueness is the characteristics of your true-self.”
No, one can be like you. Don’t try to be unique because you’re already that. You must figure out, what makes you the one.
Uniqueness is the combination of your curiosity, passion, goals, dream, visions, and your values. All the things that matters to you.
See the world through that lens & merge it with your writing. It becomes unique.
5. Writing demands clarity
There is a Kindlin’s law, which says; “If you write the problem down clearly, then the matter is half solved.”
The more you write, the more clarity you gain. There is no doubt about it, all the great personalities ask you to write down everything because they understood the power of writing.
Writing touches the depth of your problem, which pulls better solution to solve out.
When you write each of your thoughts, ideas, beliefs, dark side, then you can clearly observe and find the gap that resides inside you.
6. Writing demands a vision
“Vision is the magnetic source which pulls you from the setbacks & failures.”
Vision is a must. Without vision you’ll jump from one shiny syndrome to the other.
So, if you don’t have one, then by default you’ll get distracted. Visions help to align your psychic entropy & order your mind towards a specific direction.
Choose one big goal (vision) & surrender your writings to it.
7. Writing demands a Life-style
Building a lifestyle helps you to organize the pillars – health, wealth, Relationship, & spiritualty.
Writing should be a part of your life. So, if your lifestyle is not balanced well, then you can’t incorporate the habit of writing.
You need a proper schedule and a fix time to write every day, which comes through only a healthy Life-style.
Writing becomes easy when you write for your past self. When you solve your own problem and distribute the solution into simple steps. It becomes fulfilling when you help other people to solve the same problem through your methods.
That become one of the major sources of happiness in your Life.
Writing is a Meta Skill
Writing gives you the power to bring the ideas into reality.
It is a meta skill that can be combined with every other skill stacks. Coding, Media, Books, Marketing, Accounting, Sales & Resume for jobs, everything requires writing.
3 Future Proof skills that writing fuels:
1. Content Creation: It comes under media. The futures hold a special place for those who can create content. The script involves writing & it is the backbone of the content creation.
2. Clear thinking: The whole world is moving towards complexity. People aren’t aware of their choices. They have become ignorant and avoids clear & healthy thinking. They just want the solutions.
The psychic entropy is high, due to which mental health issues are rising every day.
Writing brings clarity, deep analysis, & better solutions. It keeps your mind calm and relax.
3. Career advancement: Writing hone your creativity & it is the demanding skill in the age of ai. Your creativity and the power to blend emotions into it, is the solution to the fear of ai revolutions.
Strong writing skills are highly valued in the workplace across various industries. So, improve your writing daily. It harnesses your creativity.
How to start and practice writing every day?
I started by writing poems and posted it on the WhatsApp status. Back then I was not aware that practicing in public is important.
I didn’t have any clue about the writing world, then one day I came across a video which talk about 2 hours writing daily.
One of my favourite creators; his name is Dan . Many of you might know him. He became a millionaire with his creative writing skills. I was happy seeing him. As I had a similar vision to help and earn through my creativity.
At that time, he was selling his course and I was desperately looking to buy it but I didn’t have enough money to purchase it.
I think it was the best thing for me, because whatever I write now has my taste in it, which nobody can steal away from me. That situation forces me to developed my own unique style.
These 3 things helped me to become a good writer. They are:
1. WRITE EVERYDAY
To be good at writing you need to write. The simple and plain answer. Don’t hesitate to write the ideas that comes to your mind.
Write whatever you want to; about your love life, about the beliefs that you hold, about your dream, about your feelings, about the problems you’re facing on your daily life.
Writings make you a writer. Practice it.
2. CHOOSE 2 FORMATS OF WRITING
Long form (Newsletter): These letters are written to educate your audiences. You need to explain everything in depth. Newsletters help you to connect with the people, it builds trust and foundation for you as a creator.
Don’t simply write- learn human psychology, mind, and writings techniques. I mainly use these two formats while writing newsletter:
PASTOR: Pain, Amplify, Story, Transformation, Offer, & Response.
Short Form (Thread, tweet, quotes): These writings are to attract your audiences because they are sweet, simple, and clear. Once you know how to hook your audiences then each post will act as a compass to guide them to your newsletters. People use to sell their products by attaching a link into their newsletter, which I haven’t done yet. The writing technique you can use here is called:
AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, & Action. (Google it and learn for free)
3. CHOOSE PLATOFRMS TO PRACTICE
Every other content form was awful to me because of my introvertness except writing. It doesn’t ask you to show your face, record your voice, learn coding, and master editing skills.
You just need your phone or a page to write about your ideas, innovations, poems, feelings and many more.
You can choose X(twitter), Thread, LinkedIn, and Instagram to practice your writings. These are the platform which gives you instant feedbacks about your writings on the terms of likes and follower’s metrics.
But don’t get stuck and demotivated by those vanity metrics. See it as a platform to improve your writings.
“IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT T0 WRITE” then it’s the time to absorbs more and more information’s based on your interests, goals, and visions.
Watch YouTube videos, read letters from your favorite creator, listen to podcast, books and note down the ideas that hunt you at that moment, capture and write the aha moment while absorbing the information’s.
Remember there is no perfect timing to write. The ideas can come at any time, just be ready with the note app in your phone or a paper to write it down.
In addition to writing is a skill that can be learned. It’ll improve over time, just be patience and write every day. It will unlock the hidden potential of your Life.
POST READ:
The power is decentralized. It is moving from central (politicians, government) to individual (public). The internet has made it possible. The new rich are around their 20’s. They are the creator’s using internet and writing as their companion. They create their own product, market it by themselves and sell to their audiences. Everyone holds the power to build a personal brand using their specific knowledge and skills. They can nurture the people who follows them. This is how people earn the living in the modern times. The modern assets are writing speaking, branding, creating, persuasion, solo entrepreneurship, clear thinking, observing, understanding, and adapting to the rate of evolution. Your uniqueness is the key that sets you apart.
“Writing is the most powerful tool for a solo creator to build, express, and grow.”
