“It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief.”
- Muhammad Ali
This is my 50th blog that I have written since I began my website. 162 total typed pages. 11-font. Normal spacing. Calibri type.
The largest blog was seven-pages and it was entitled “Fighting Negativity”. Considering I have spoken on this topic in some of my motivational talks for an hour, seven pages isn’t that bad. Why was this the longest? Because I believe that internal and external negativity is the killer of dreams.
“Fighting Negativity” is the longest unless you want to count the two-part blog “Getting UnStuck” with it’s Part I and Part II equaling eight pages as longer. But if we are adding serial blogs then the four-part blog entitled “Building a Presentation” which took seventeen pages to complete, was the king.
The shortest blog was a one-page blog that I took from some of the writing I was doing in 2020. This little ditty was entitled, “Be True to Who You Are”. This blog dealt with understanding who you are and fighting to keep your truths front and center and not become someone else. I wrote it during a philosophical battle I was going through at work. I won the battle of keeping my truth, but lost the war, which was a good thing in the end.
I have loved every minute I put into writing my blogs. This is really an extension of the writing I have been doing over the last 40 years of my life.
I have found that when I am struggling, or watching someone else struggle in their lives, I can come to a deeper understanding if I write about it. When we write we must think about each word as we write it. Speaking or thinking it is not the same. When we are talking or running it through our head, we might not take the time an issue really needs. While we write, we can take an omniscient view of what we believe and how we can find answers in our experiences or the writing or words of others. In the end writing helps us understand who we truly are. All the good, the bad and the ugly come to bare.
I received a call from my good friend, Kris Richard, the architect the Seahawks Legion of Boom, whose first question was, “Coach C, how are you doing?” My response was, “I am killing life!”
And I really am. I am doing what I am made to do. Lift people to become better. Instead of doing it for one hundred people a year, I get to do it for several hundred every month. As I look forward on my speaking calendar, I will be reaching several thousand in the near future.
