I am a person who loves to write—as you can see. Writing, for me, is an exploration, a journey into depths I never knew existed. It brings me joy and fulfillment to put thoughts into words, whether fiction or non-fiction, whether light or profound. I keep a personal journal where I pour out my innermost thoughts. You probably wouldn’t want to get your hands on it—it’s deep, even to me.
This makes me wonder about the depth within each of us. How much remains unexplored simply because we lack the courage to dig deeper? The surface is safe. It is familiar. It’s where life feels easy, where all is jolly and merry. But, to go deep? That requires courage. The courage to face the truth—raw and unfiltered. And truth isn’t always beautiful. Sometimes, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. So, we shift gears, staying where it’s comfortable, where our heads remain above water, where we can breathe freely.
But how much can be achieved at this level? Not much. It’s a mediocre existence—floating through life, blending into the system, letting the tides carry us wherever they please. Because facing the truth? And Facing ourselves? That’s terrifying. Why are we so afraid? Afraid of risks, of failure, of heights, of commitment, of losing what we hold dear? Sometimes, we are even afraid of our own potential, of who we could become. And what a shame that is.
They say, deep calls unto deep.
So, what if you took some time alone and wrote—really wrote? Not just surface-level wishes, but the deepest desires of your heart. What if you shaped them into words, let your hand coordinate with your mind, and put on paper the things that truly make your heart race? Not the expectations of society, but the raw, unfiltered longings of your authentic self.
I dare you to write them down.
The Good Book says:
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”
There is power in writing.
Write your vision—not a superficial one, but one that calls to the deepest part of you. Then, Break it down. How will you achieve it? Make sure to read it every morning, every evening. Speak it out loud to yourself and to God. Think on it and refine it. Adjust it. Visualize it. Make it clear. Then, take practical steps—small ones, daily ones. And revisit them.
For me, this practice has been life-changing. When I write things down, I find it easier to stay committed, to track my progress, to stay grounded in my purpose. It becomes my point of reference, my source of motivation.
So today, I ask you:
What if you wrote down your vision and followed it every day?
Writing is a powerful tool. Use it.
