Everyone Has a Story to Tell: Three Reasons to Write your Book

As I am finishing up the work on my latest book, Do What They Do, But Do It Like You, I can't help but reflect on the number of people I meet each year that express their desire to write a book but other things get in the way.

Either the person feels they are not qualified, they doubt others want to read their work, or the person feels they simply do not have the time to write their book.

Whatever the reason is, if you have the desire to write a book, then DO NOT let anything stop you. Even writing one sentence each day will eventually get you there.

Here are the reasons you need to do it, and stop allowing self-doubt or the negativity of others to get in the way:

1) Your book is bigger than you. If you have a strong desire to tell your story, or share your expertise, and you are sitting on it, then you are standing in the way of someone else's blessing. If you inspire even one person, isn't it worth it?

2) Release. Writing is therapeutic. Even if you need to tell your story, for yourself, put it on paper. You will be amazed at what it will become. You can always change the names to protect the guilty.

3) Become unleashed. The bonus in all of this is, once you complete this project, it will unleash all of the other desires you have kept inside for years. You will realize more than ever, that you are more than capable of accomplishing every dream you desire. There is only one you. And that person is strong, smart, and tough.

Now, get started right now. It doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be from you. Editing is secondary. Grab a piece of paper right now and write a sentence. After you right that sentence, congratulate yourself. Your book has begun.

A New Social Media Site Idea: Escape Place

I wonder if there is anyone out there like me who sometimes gets super worn down by what they see on social media.

I mean, there are only so many people you can unfriend or unfollow before the task just becomes daunting and you wonder if social media is even worth it.

I often wish there was a social media platform where no one was allowed to argue or say negative or sad things. It is not that I want to pretend as if there are not awful things happening in the world.

However, I just want a social media place to escape to sometimes where all the posts are family, success, positivity, encouragement, etc.

Can anyone relate?

I would call it Escape Place. And whenever I get tired of the political rants, over saddened about what is happening in the world, or over frustrated with the silly arguments people have on social media, I could escape for a while and fill my eyes, mind, and soul with all that is right in the world.

What do you think?

Is that unrealistic?

If you could make your own social media site, what would be the theme?
