A Special Thank You

I hope that you will allow me to take some of your time to say a special thank you to you – my readers. And to tell you a little story about how almost anything that we want to accomplish in our lives is possible. All we need to do is have a dream, put in a little hard work, and have faith that God will help us along the way to realizing our dreams.

For as long as I can remember I have had the desire to write. I was a good writer but I just didn’t know what to write about. I studied other authors. I tried to figure out how they write and what they wrote about. Do I write fiction? Do I try to write a novel? Suspense? I had great ideas but I just didn’t know how to put them all together to make them interesting. I kept feeling like I was at a roadblock – like my car was all gassed up but I had no where to go.

Raising a Story

Sometimes, as a writer, I get stuck. And right now I think I’m stuck…

I get ideas, I work on them, come up with a story, and then I read it and don’t feel like it’s ready to let go. So I put the story on a shelf hoping that some day I will come back to it, get inspired, fix it, finish it, and release it – once I get the words right.

Learning to Go with the Flow

Sometimes, in our lives, God takes us down paths we would least likely expect.

If someone had told me as little as two years ago that I would be developing a website called The Whisper of God and writing inspirational and spiritual messages, I might have thought they were crazy. But that is exactly what I find myself doing now – a lot of writing and really enjoying it.

Self-Doubt is the Enemy of Success

I am sure we have all been in a position where we have been working hard to accomplish something; you invest hours and hours into reaching a goal, finishing a project, studying for an exam… only to find that as you are nearing the finish line you start to question yourself.

You start to wonder: am I good enough, smart enough, will people listen to or like me…

Getting Over the Fear of “No”

Earlier in my professional life I had a fear of rejection.

I think it might have had to do with how I was trained at a large accounting firm that I previously worked for. At that firm, we were required to report every week how many new people we met, where we met them, and how successful we were in getting them as a new client. Not that I wasn’t able to talk to people; on the contrary, I am very personable and can talk to anyone in almost any situation. However, if we didn’t get them as a client, we had to explain why and what we could have done better. It got to the point where I started to really dislike reporting my activities because you had to explain why you weren’t always 100% successful.
