4 Reasons Why I Write Everyday

Kennetic Expression Reasons Why I Write Everyday

Whoever you are, there is some thing that for some reason you do it everyday. You might work everyday because you have to. Maybe you watch TV everyday because it relaxes you. Perhaps you hit the gym everyday because you feel better afterwards.

I write everyday. Writing, for me, is a hobby. It’s also part of my day job. It’s something, ultimately, I want to make a career out of. It’s something I want to be able to use as a tool for helping others in various ways.

I write everyday because it’s a priority of mine. Here’s what that means for me. I hope you can take a few of these points and apply them to something you do everyday.

1. I write everyday, because I want to be great.

Nobody ever became an expert or the pinnacle of greatness without working on their craft everyday for years. This applies to everyone. Musicians, investors, athletes, authors, actors, architects, artists, some other career beginning with “a,” lawyers, CEOs – everyone.

I write everyday, because I need to practice. I need to get better. The only way to get better is to do it, a lot. Try, fail, learn, improve. Learning is crucial. I write everyday so I can become great at this. So that writing can take me wherever I want to go.

2. I write everyday, because I genuinely enjoy writing.

Can you imagine how utterly miserable it would be to do something that you hated every day of the week? Well, millions can. I have the privilege and the opportunity to do something I love doing as often as I want. I’d be wrong not to take advantage of that.

I also enjoy writing everyday, because in a way it’s therapeutic for me. Maybe I feel better afterwards simply because I’m introverted, and getting away to write helps me remove stimulation and get back down to my equilibrium.

More importantly, though, I think I enjoy writing everyday because it helps focus my mind, which is always moving at a thousand miles per hour, and use that focus to create something constructive. Something that might also benefit others. How could I not enjoy that?

3. I write everyday, because I’m trying to build a following.

This is a rough figure, but there’s about 200,000 pieces of content uploaded to the internet every minute. That means there’s 200,000 new articles just like this one, videos, images, memes, infographics, profiles, etc. every minute all vying for consumers’ (your) attention. If I want to even have a shot at people finding me (I do), and  (hopefully) appreciating what I do, I’ve got to be creating as much and as often as I can.

Right now that means one new piece everyday. I write everyday, because I want to grow.

4. I write everyday, because people look to me to provide value.

In the grand scheme of things, I have a relatively low number of people who actively keep up with me. There might be 100 who people who pay attention to nearly everything I create. That’s still 100 people who expect value from me. That’s still 100 people in whose lives I can make a difference.

As I keep doing this – as I grow – the number of people looking to me everyday to provide value will also grow. I write everyday, because I don’t want to let anyone down.
