3 Reasons Why I Write & What Motivates Me To Keep Going
I’m passionate about writing. Simple enough.
Reason 2: I Write For People
Pierre Clark sent me the following comment on my “About Me” story:
I don’t follow many people on here, but you’re interesting enough to follow. Congratulations on your journey. I am a writer as well, though not as prolific as you. I will be starting a publication soon on Medium and will write you to ask if we can feature your story. Thanks for wanting to be and being an inspiration. You’ve succeeded with me, at least.
Simple messages like this keep me going.

The Wiser You Are, The More You Give
As I mentioned in another article, The wisest human beings prefer to give than receive; there’s much more fulfillment.
The primary reason behind my writing – aside from being passionate about it – is so I can give back to the world.
When you have a worthy purpose behind your goal, it will motivate you to keep going when all other methods of motivation run out because guess what? The motivation will run out. You need something more substantial to keep you going.
If you’re writing for money, that’s nice. If you’re prolific and diligent, it will come, but our endeavors that produce the most significant rewards come when they’re backed with a worthy purpose.
Question Your Motives
We should question everything we do daily. Within reflection, you’ll find meaning and learn more about your motives, decision-making, and inner-being.
I have two questions for you:
What is your reason for writing?
What do you hope to accomplish by writing and sharing your words with the world?
