Clear, professional writing is closer than you think.
We write ourselves into a corner, our thinking goes off course and then what?
“If things go wrong, don’t go with them.”
~Roger Babson
We should spend a moment or two pondering whether the content that just came up has some validity, for now or later, and then start back at the point where we went wrong and get busy.

Sometimes the most important thing is to know what is best to focus on.
“If we magnified our successes as much as we magnify our disappointments, we’d all be much happier.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
We are wired to be attentive to the negative, the survival of our earliest ancestors depended upon this trait. But we also have a tremendous capacity to learn and grow.

Most people truly like to reach out and help others – just because, belief in karma, to avoid our own tasks/issues, because we gain strength.
“The best help is not to bear the troubles of others for them, but to inspire them with courage and energy to bear their own burdens and to meet with the difficulties of life bravely.”
~ John Lubbock
We can use our own skills to help, and to teach.

We are each varying combinations of light and dark – and the writer must figure out how to articulate both.
“The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.”
~ Shakti Gawain
It is true that we need both to gain understanding, but embracing light while understanding the dark will be most helpful.

Do this, don’t do that; you should, you shouldn’t – so many people want to help us.
“Let me listen to me and not to them.”
~Gertrude Stein
Listen, consider and decide how much if any of the advice to enact.

If we keep working at something, we are bound to understand it better and improve in our ability.
“Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.”
~John Quincy Adams
We are usually the only ones who expect ourselves to have mastered something right out of the gate.

Sometimes when we don’t know where to start, or how to move forward, we might take some time to look into what others think, say and do. But then we should internalize the information that we find and compare it to what we already know.
“Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself.”
~ Doris Lessing
We might have to go through some trial and error, but we are the experts of how best to think through all of what we experience.

Writers have wonderful powers of observation, to be able to tease out stories from life.
“The greatest discoveries have come from people who have looked at a standard situation and seen it differently.”
~ Ira Erwin
Observation is the first step, then writing from a new perspective is the follow up.

We just have to keep our minds open for the solutions that we seek:
“Minor things can become moments of great revelation when encountered for the first time.”
~ Margot Fonteyn
Solutions don’t have to be large and loud, or even complex.

Sometimes those folks that led the sink or swim school of thought were on to something.
“Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it’s easier too.”
~Eleanor Roosevelt
The hardest part is often that moment just before you start.
