Mini Motivation #55 - How honest have you been in your writing?

Sometimes you read a piece of article, may it be on Steemit or anywhere else, that touched your heart so much that you'd say something like,

"Wow, I wish I had a story like that to tell, and boy, do I wish that I can write like that!"

The truth is you can, because I'm sure you have equally amazing stories and insights to share. If you dig deep, and you remove a few shades of your modesty, I think you'd find those amazing stories within you all along.

So the problem is not the lack of stories, but how you had been telling them.

Had you been retelling your experience, removing your emotions from it? Are you shy to keep your own thoughts to yourself? Did you deliberately change a few parts of the story, down played the details, ignored some critical areas, when writing your stories?

See, those are the parts of your tale what would have gotten the same, if not stronger reaction from your readers. That's the part where you could have connected as humans!

So the next time you're writing you story, here are a few points to remember:

Tell the story as how you would want your loved ones to narrate back to you.
Emotions are energy in motion. Strip them away, and you'll just get a report on observations.
Don't be afraid to share your insights, and to be judged by them. We are all entitled to our thoughts. And when others are being offended by it, know that perhaps it's because they themselves share the same train of thoughts, and society has pressured them into silence.
Write as if you only had one shot to leaving your legacy.

Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads.

From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.

Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.

Oh it did? Let me know in the comments, and of course an upvote would be a nice motivation for me. :)

Wait, why's Mav posting on Steemit nowadays?

Well, unlike other blogging and social media platform, Steemit is the only platform that allows me to earn cryptocurrency when I engage with it. Yup, one Steem is about USD5, and you, too, can earn Steem Dollars every time you:

Create content (articles, blog posts, podcasts, videos, photos)
Upvote (like) other people contents
Comment on other people's posts
Have discussions, share opinions etc!

Yup, basically it's the very same thing you're doing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc all along!

The only difference? For once you can earn a nice income on the side!
