'Ripples have nowhere they go' The line above is from one of the poems in my recently published poetry collection, Unnoticed Presence of Things. I was to talk about a cardinal attribute of success that the highly gifted lack, as written about by Robert Green in his #Mastery. It happens to be diligence. But we must not think of diligence aloof of the relevant context. Diligence and focus share a symbiotic relationship. Therefore, in linking diligence to success, the chief question to ask is: in what am I diligent? Or preferably, in what should I be diligent? An answer to this question automatically brings focus to the fore. I believe it was Waldo Emerson who said that there are two days in a man's life, the day he's born, and the day he finds out why. However, it is a scary affair to question ourselves, possibly because we hardly like the truth when it's about us, and that illusion is a soft landing. Time to be more than a ripple and have somewhere to go. As we say at Grey Carrots, be the first. Today, this week, answer these three simple questions: 1. Where will you be the first to go? 2. What will you be the first to do? 3. Which of our services will you be the first to engage? #writing #editing #publishing #digitalservice

Today, I want to dive deeper into how writing poetry can help you to process your emotions. But first, let’s address a common concern: what if you can't create meaningful poetry that captures the depth of your emotions?

🖊 Finding Peace and Solace in Writing 🌿 Writing has always been my sanctuary—a place where I find true peace and solace. Whether it's crafting stories, jotting down thoughts in a journal, or expressing emotions through poetry, the act of writing grounds me and allows me to connect with myself on a deeper level. In today's fast-paced world, writing serves as my anchor. It's more than just a hobby or a profession; it's a therapeutic escape, a journey of self-discovery with every word penned. The rhythm of typing or the flow of ink on paper brings a calming effect like nothing else. Through writing, I explore ideas, reflect on experiences, and imagine new possibilities. It's a form of meditation, where each sentence becomes a moment of clarity and introspection. Whether I'm sharing stories with readers or simply jotting down my thoughts, the act of writing brings immense joy and fulfillment. I'm grateful for the opportunity to pursue this passion and to share my journey with others who also find solace in the written word. How has writing brought peace into your life? #WritingCommunity #CreativeExpression #FindingSolace #SelfReflection #WriterLife #InnerPeace #PersonalGrowth
