I love this new blogging journey I am on. I enjoy writing, and I love putting posts together with images. It’s fun to hear what others have to say and how the post may have touched them. I also love sharing my memories of my mom. But as much as I enjoy it, some parts of blogging can be stressful. That’s why it’s important to find my why. Ensure I am completely in tune with how blogging makes me happy so that those things that cause stress don’t bring me down.
The blogging world can be all about numbers. You can get sucked into how many views you have, whether your post has good SEO, how many subscribers do you have, who commented on your posts, and how many followers you have on social media. You forget that people are busy and have their own lives to worry about.
It’s a slow process and quite exhausting. So I decided to find my why to keep me going.

Why do I write?
Writing helps me to express my ideas and put my thoughts on paper. I love to read and learn new ways to improve my life. Writing what I learn down on paper helps me remember and gives me an outlet to expand on the ideas and how they affect me.
Why do I blog?
I am a positive thinker and want others to see the positive side of things as well—my why is to share that. I want to help create a more peaceful and loving world. Help others see that they can live the life of their dreams. They just have to do it. I want to help others see how short life is and that we need to make the most of our time. One person can make a difference, and we can all be that one person – we can all share our positive energy so that it spreads to others and becomes contagious. I want to write what I would hate to leave this world without being able to say.
My writing goal is to put all of my positive energy into words and share them with others. I would love to ask all my friends how they are doing and hear them say, “I’m loving my life being me.” Seeing people I love living in pain, negativity, fear, or loneliness kills me. I want everyone to love their life.
So I will continue doing these things I love and not let myself get stressed about things I can’t control. Finding my why has helped me reset many times. I’m thankful that I can do what I love.
Do you have a why?
Here are a few journal prompts to help you find your why.
- Why do you do the things you do?
- What do you want to share with the world?
- What makes you want to wake up in the morning?
- If you didn’t have to worry about money or people’s opinions, what would you do with your life?
- What about your life makes you miserable? Is there something you know you need to give up?
- What is a book you wish someone would write?
- Define the following: Success, wisdom, love, faith, truth, courage, and joy.
- What would you be doing if you could imagine yourself free of worry and pain? What would you daydream about? How would you fill your days?
I will continue to find my why as I progress on this journey. I wish you to find your why too and live a life you love.
