How to find your Voice

How to find your Voice

 Yesterday I got an excellent phrase from the medium ; - 

Write to express and not to impress;

yes ; I need to take this to the heart;

be creative to express and not to impress;

too often I find myself doing things to impress others not myself!

now but my urge comes about the need to impress others of what I do ; is it not? 

Yes; that’s where the phrase : write to express than to impress; express yourself 

- through writing recording , painting ,drawing, archery sports ; even work ; 

Try to express yourself use it as a means of exploring yourself; be creative in the ways that you do things ;

create something new; keep creating okay; no issues; good , bad ugly;

keep creating ; the beauty is keep doing it; yeah; you have to keep doing it again and again and again; and then a some point you will get your voice ;

you will see your voice; hear it;  

it is like what Ira Glass talks about; 

you have to keep doing it; doing it ; polish it; polish it; until  then you hear the voice;

And then things start clicking and moving and do well; is it not?

Might be this is what srinivas rao talks as "audience of one" . You have to create for yourself - not for others ;but yourself; yeah and then you have to be happy about your creation ;

 say it’s a funny podcast : you have to laugh - no other go; 

without laugh - I mean your own - without you enjoying the laugh - 

the product will not look good to others; audience of one ; 

change begins with constituency of one; 

I am signing off now with Praggnaanandhaa -the then 12 year old Chess Grandmaster father's words - 

He does not worried by results - he just enjoys playing chess!

Oh wow! - is it not the same mindset that I should be in ?

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
