Encouragement and Motivation, Especially for Writers

Rising to the top takes more than just talent; it takes perseverance, belief in yourself and so much more.

Whatever the case is, know that you are not alone in feeling discouraged from time-to-time. It is natural. Realize that when you feel this way your spirit is asking you to find ways to replenish and uplift it so that it can continue to create remarkable, profound work. You know that you have a talent or else you would not take the time to even question it. Why would you spend your time thinking about something that had no importance or relevance in your life? You would not, that’s why. So take your discouragement and questioning of yourself as simply a sign that you need more information and positive support. Another way to think about it: If you are a doctor and you encounter a symptom, medicine, or illness you have never heard of before, you would need to turn your energy on learning as much as you could about it. Or if you are an athlete you must jog, do your sit ups, keep on a strict diet, etc. to ensure that you continue being able to compete with the best. This is metaphorical to being a great writer. You must continue to read everyday, you must write everyday, you must find ways to keep your spirits up, you must remind yourself of your accomplishments, you must believe in yourself, if you don’t others can feel that in your work. The more you believe in your work and the infinite value you can and do bring to this world with your unique one-of-a-kind voice, this will continue to shine and reflect within every line that you write.

In closing, I have decided to add links to some of my inspirational, motivational and helpful articles. I do hope that they help to continue to ignite and support the passion for creating beautiful work within your hearts’. Know that this world would not be the same without your unique voice. This world needs you. Your courage to put your voice in the world is helping millions to get the courage to either do so for the first time or continue to do so for limitless years to come.
