The Power Of Writing
“Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are. The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.” — Meg Rosoff
Why should I write? Is writing that necessary?
When it comes to writing, I have come to love writing. Not just writing articles or posts, but writing in my journal, from random ideas that pop up in mind to planning my day, week, month, year, and to writing my prayer requests to God.
I simply love writing.
I have grown to see things I write come to pass which is really powerful and that’s why I want to talk about writing today.
The foundation of this article will be based on two key Scriptures (I know, I can be very spiritual : ☺️☺️)
Habbakuk 2:2: And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.
Proverbs 16:3: Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
I guess we all know the universe is governed by laws. The law of gravity, generosity, discipline, etc. For the law or principle on writing, I’ve come to experience it and know it as very powerful! (Like for real!)
From writing complex and high goals like attaining a getting Ph.D., meeting Bill Gates, etc to simple things like go for a check-up, send money, buy a pen.
Someway, these things to come to pass! I think writing is somewhat connected to the principle of making a decision, or in other words, writing enforces a decision.
As Napoleon Hill will say, “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen”
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen” — Napoleon Hill
Before the week started, I planned my week and wrote down a few things, two of them were to get new frames & lens and the other one was to go for a skin checkup. In fact, I only wrote, ‘plan next steps on eye checkup and skin checkup”
I knew I had a packed week and thus going for these might be hard, that’s why I wrote ‘plan next steps’
Someway, the universe conspired to make it happen. Something came up, and my Friday morning was a little free, and I was like, ‘oh okay, let me just follow my mom to town to get my frames since the week is ending so that I will at least have achieved something regarding my plan for the week concerning my health.’
Boom, my mom dropped me off, and right in town, a voice (definitely the Holy Spirit) prompted me to call a friend who lived around and who also spoke about getting her lens and frames a while ago.
Another boom! I got a lens and a beautiful frame!
Before, the year began, I also wrote down some of the things I intended to purchase during the year. By God’s Grace, I’ve received some of those things as gifts already! (See what we’re talking about!)
“Commit thy plans unto the Lord! The plans are written! It is after planning(writing) that you commit to the Lord or else, there’s nothing to commit!.” — Selikem Komla
Robert Breault puts is in a beautiful way, “We are kept from our goals not by obstacles but a clear path to a lesser goal”
Simply put, “lack of clarity” keeps us from our goals and achieving things.
The remedy to this is writing! Learning to write. Writing has proven to be one of the best ways to get clarity on things. That’s why you write a thesis, so your professor can see your thought pattern which shows whether or not you understand the particular subject area you are talking about.
“You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what’s burning inside you, and we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.” — Arthur Plotnik
Experiencing the profound power of writing in both small and great ways, I want you to learn this habit. The average person hardly writes/journals. I don’t want you to be average! The average zone is too crowded.
Journaling is powerful because you tap into one of the greatest principles of the universe, which is writing.
The more you write, the more organized you will become and the more clarity you get on what you want to do and where you want to go.
You don’t need to start big. Start with your simple daily to-do list (bath, eat, cook, sleep, etc), and with time, you’ll automatically pick up with writing about your day, writing good things that happen to you.
At the end of the day, I usually write the good things that happened to me, it helps me appreciate life, and I become more grateful and in the long term, as we know gratitude produces more and I see this all the time.
“Journaling is like whispering to one’s self and listening at the same time.” — Mina Murray
Conclusion
I’ll end with a beautiful quote by Brad Wilcox which says, “A personal journal is an ideal environment in which to become. It is a perfect place for you to think, feel, discover, expand, remember, and dream.”
I hope you have learned from this article and I encourage you to put your learning into practice!
What a comfort it is to write. I tell myself to myself and throw the burden on my book and feel relieved.” — Anne Lister
