WHAT OTHER BENEFITS CAN I GET DOING WHAT I DO

I have few questions to ask and you are free to give your answers if you want to.

As a musician, footballer, trader, teacher, banker, driver and all the rest professions, do you feel the impact of that which you are doing? What I mean is this, apart from the monetary incentives of your job, how else do you profit from it?

 Do you honestly derive some satisfactions in that which you do or are you just going through the notions of merely doing your own part and only to collect your pay at the end of the day? Good, but what if the pay is not available, could there be other reasons why you have to hang on as it were?

Well, what inspired this write up hit me so hard and the only remedy is simply to handle it this way. 

Yes, the best option is to let it out just the way you have it now; in writing!

As a writer, book author, or whichever format best describes or suits you, how does your works affects you?  Do you write just because others can read and probably pay you? Sounds odd. Isn’t it? Great indeed.

Your well researched topics/write ups should appeal to you before anyone else! In terms of benefits, a book writer ought to be the first beneficiary of his work before any other person, just like a musician who always starts dancing / nodding his head to his fine lyrics before any others. How much does he pay to himself?

A happy writer at work

Likewise you as a writer, those nice instructions or suggestions you are proudly passing on to many unknown others, how truly has it benefited you the founder? 

 Let’s put it this way, you came up with some nice tips on how to live happily with your spouses, how to take good care of ourselves, how to raise responsible children, how to make A1 in exams e.t.c. But on a serious note and sincerely  speaking, how would you feel if you knows very well that you falls short in those areas?

Now taken from another angle, assuming you were good in those areas but no one cares about your hard work and no compensations for your sleepless nights and so on. 

 Well that is where your real intents come to the fore. Are you writing just because you picked a book from that store and boldly written on it with a shinning attractive color, “3 million copies sold,#1 in the world” and you immediately felt that this is an avenue for making quick cash, which of course it is but yours seem not be ranking as it were. what do you then do?

In love with what he is doing!

As I pointed out earlier, that is where your real intentions come out. Just like every other field of endeavor, if you are not passionate about it, you are sure to drop your pen and paper as it were and look for something else to do, but if you are really convinced that what you have in that book, on that web page, or in any other format worth the efforts, To be candid, you would surely push it to the next level. You will because a workman is worthy of his wages. and more so because you believed in what you are doing.

Having come this far with me, you may have noticed some digressions, and rightly so,  because I touched on many life endeavors but somehow narrowed it down to writing which is the main focus, but the same principle holds true if properly aligned to other areas of specializations.

So as writers, especially the newbies like my humble self. Take this advice: keep on writing if you truly have passions for it and you are equally convinced of the inputs you are making, keep on writing even when all you are getting as feedback is critics, analyze them critically and move on for it is part of your profession/training, keep on writing even when no one is reading your works and other avenues for supporting or exposing your works are exhausted; let your integrity and passions carry you through and more so with your reliance on God in that what you are doing is also for the good of untold many others  who would benefit when exposed to it.

 Rest assured that when your works would be recommended or stumbled upon--- you would have become a force to be reckoned with in your niche.

Keep those late night candles burning and as you do, remember this source whenever the desired results come pouring in like rain.

To your success!!!.
