WordPress Blogging

What Makes Blogging so Powerful?

1. You’ll become more comfortable being known. Blogging introduces you to the world.

It causes you to articulate the life you live and the worldview behind the decisions that you make.

Whether you have 1 reader or 10,000, the blogging process opens up your life to those on the outside.

Over time, you’ll reveal more and more of yourself to the outside world and you’ll be excited to find a world that relates to you and enjoys hearing your story.

2. It’ll serve as a personal journal. Blogging serves many of the same roles as a personal journal.

It trains us to be observant and gives weight to the personal growth that we are experiencing.

It trains our minds to track life and articulate the changes we are experiencing.

Your blog becomes a digital record of your life that is saved “in the cloud.” As a result, it can never be lost, stolen, or destroyed in a fire.

3. You’ll become more confident. Blogging will help you discover more confidence in your life.

You will quickly realize that you do live an important life with a unique view and have something to offer others.

4. You’ll find a platform to recommend. We all love to recommend something we have found enjoyable or beneficial—whether it be a nice restaurant, a good book, or a new outlook on life.

The fullness of joy is not experienced until we have shared that joy with others. A blog provides an opportunity to do that very thing.

It provides a platform to share the joy we have experienced and recommend good things we have discovered to others.

5. It’s quite a rush with every positive comment.

There’s a certain little rush that accompanies the immediate positive feedback that you receive every time a reader posts a comment.

While walking the fine line between finding encouragement in that feedback and obsessing over it may take some time to get used to, it’s far better to find that line than to never seek it out in the first place.

Remember, you don’t need to blog as a means to get rich or as a means to gather a huge following.

You don’t even need to blog as a means to change the Internet. The change that a blog will cause in your life is reason enough.
