With Substack it has made it simple for me to just focus on one thing: Writing.
I knew I had a gift somewhere in there to write. In fact, I used to enjoy writing more than reading at school. I think my teachers and maybe my Mum wondered why I wasn't as interested in reading as others. Well, probably because I'm not a "sit still" kind of guy if you know what I mean? And also because writing helps me to focus and concentrate on my thoughts and approach for life.
One of the key ingredients to this writing was starting a journal. I started writing in a journal around 2004 and sporadically put down my thoughts, prayers, hopes and other things going on in my brain. With the level of intensity I have experienced in my life the last 10 years the amount of journalling has increased.
This staple of writing in my "life diet" has helped me with a number of challenges I have had to face and overcome in marriage, parenting, faith, work, business, travel, relationships, diet and every other facet of my life.
Now that I have experienced this I came to realise that no gift is ever given to be held in a box and kept secret. Every gift that we have been given is for first our benefit, then second to help others.
Once we give out the gift we start to live a more purposeful life and it is definitely more satisfying!
So thanks Substack for providing this platform to make it easier for people like me on a writing journey.
