Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Bad Case of False Positivism
I sat with my parents and listened to the downfall of the family. We were diving deep into challenging times. It was so bad, you couldn't see the end of it.

Hey y'all! Welcome to day twenty-eight. *Insert feelings about how close we're getting to the end here.* I hope everyone's journal is packed with writing and notes from this journey and I hope it's getting hard to add more. Anyway, here's the quote of the day: "An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this." - Stephen King

Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

What does it mean to be enlightened? My perspective on the twisted journey starts right here. I always thought to be enlightened meant I had to be this perfect person, this entity that, with all of life's challenges, would always choose the "right" way. The positive way. The way that everyone expects. But for me, it was the total opposite.

Hey everyone! Happy last three days of this lovely journey! I'm honestly excited and so sad. However, I hope you're all having fun and excited for today! Here's the quote of the day: "You're a writer. Claim the title. Writers write, so make time for it every day. Set realistic goals. Embrace the ecstasy of writing. Read, read, read, read, read, read, read. Follow your heart, not the market. Don't just start stories, finish them. Dream big. Learn the rules. Follow the rules. Break the rules. Constructive criticism: solicit, accept, manage. Put your ego in your back pocket and sit on it. Writing is a journey, not a destination, enjoy the scenery. Give back to the writing community. Write scared. Remember that you are the master of inspiration, not its slave. Set your stories free, send them into the world. Don't slack on the hard stuff: outline, research, rewrite. Build a lifestyle that nurtures and supports your writing. Love what you do, write with joy." - A Wordplayer's Manifesto

Picture this, you’re right next to the door that is waiting to be opened, you are so close, but something is stopping you going through, so you sit outside and watch others go through the door. You hear laughing, happiness, and joy but you don't walk through. You sit on the doorstep.
Efe IgbinPublished 6 years ago in MotivationOvercoming Fears
Hello! I'm back. With another topic. Another conversation. Today I'm going to be talking about fears, and well, overcoming them. Fear is not fun. I think we can all agree on that, but it's a part of life, as we all know. Fear can be anything around us, whether it's spiders, roller coasters, heights, or on the more serious side, natural disasters, disease, death. Anyone can get through fear, you just actually have to go through with it, but with some people (me) fear clings to us like lint on our clothes. It's a part of who we are, so it's nothing to be ashamed of really. If you aren't ready to face your fears, then don't worry the time will come. If you're here reading this though, then I'm pretty sure you want to take a step forward, and learn how to kill a spider, or go on a roller coaster or skydive. Here's how to overcome those fears.

Amanda DoylePublished 6 years ago in MotivationWho Says I'm Not Good Enough? Oh, Right—I Do
It's Sunday morning and so far I'm the only one in my house who's awake. I'm enjoying my coffee and the peace and quiet - or I'm trying to, anyways. The truth is, underneath that early Sunday stillness, there still exists that voice. The one I've been trying to satisfy for as long as I can remember.

Why is it that I struggle to believe that I am a worthy, useful, hopeful person? Yet I adamantly buy into I am worthless, useless, and hopeless, despite the ample evidence to disprove the later.

Hey guys! Welcome to day twenty-four. I'm kind of sad that we're on our last week. This has actually been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed talking to all of you. Anyway, I hope you will continue to write and here is a quote to keep you motivated to write by another amazing writer: "Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page each day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised." - John Steinbeck
Michelle SchultzPublished 6 years ago in MotivationFind Your Strength
Where does strength come from? How can we obtain it? I always used to ask myself those questions. Always wondering why I was not strong enough, mentally. It felt like the world was against me, and I was alone, tarnishing away. I didn't have a clue how to become strong, but one day I had enough.
