Just Write (Original Blog)

I always keep in mind that No One will ever write what I can write how I write it, and the same applies to you
You have something to give and share and it is unique to your own approach and delivery

So with that at the forefront of my thoughts, I just write

Sometimes I sit at my computer, or stare at my notepad and I have no idea what I'll write
But most times it doesn't matter

I've been writing for over 16 years now
and I am not stopping now

I was writing before I found Steemit, and I'll be writing here after

I write from inspiration and as well as forcing myself to do something positive or productive

Literally every sentence I am jotting or writing down is refining/fine-tuning and sharpening my mind for the next big opportunity that will come my way

Could you imagine if I was just at a standstill?
Scared to share my thoughts or showcase any rough draft material?

I have rarely shied away from sharing my creative works, even if they weren't finished

I have some friends who literally work on their projects for what seems like forever and they never share it with anyone
It's great to try and be a perfectionist and give the best of you at your own expectations,
but frankly, keeping in mind my wife and two children

I could die at any moment, we all could, it is inevitable,

and if I didn't share my work ever due to wanting to be flawless and perfect
I wouldn't have gotten so far in life with impacting people positively, especially through my writing and musician careers

I don't know how many times I've laughed at my old work that i have publicized only to come back to it after many years, and realize how much I have improved

Especially writing rhymes, songs, singing and rapping

Oh...I was terrible at it

Okay maybe not completely terrible, but bad enough. If I tried to rap or sing what I had written back then, I would cringe in the middle of many sentences how cliche, bland, predictable and nonsensical the content was

So whatever it is you write about, keep writing about it,
you're guaranteed to learn different angles and approaches to it and broaden your perspective on the bigger picture and purpose of why you do what you do

When I feel I want to write again, I will without hesitation, at least Steemit rewards me with a real community and with cryptocurrency rather than ghost town Facebook. It's crazy how FB can have so many users, yet the feeling of that place seems way less social as opposed to Steemit. It has a very cold feeling to it, even if the display of the websites are more modernized. Maybe that is just the psychological aspect of having the right presentation to make a place tolerable. But its the users who make FB what it really is, not FB itself. I'm glad to be sharing my content here and promoting Steemit on FB.

That's why I don't understand how people can even complain about Steemit that much when we are getting rewarded for speaking our minds, following our dreams and passions and sharing our gifts and talents and knowledge with one another. Especially now that STEEM is well above 1 USD now.

I can't focus on the success of others and compare them to myself. I do what I do, and they do what they do. I have to improve myself and influence others to do the same and be a good example, especially for whatever I leave behind to my children, family and friends, so consistency and purpose is how I progress here on Steemit

I'll be back again later. Thanks for reading my blog
