Haven’t you always wanted to write a book? Well, I know I have. I want to write history or sociological theory books– things that interest me. Here, as I “write” on this page, I am realizing how my entries show me the “real” days of my life. Sort of like a picture. My story is tracked through my journals and the theme of my life shines through.

The moments where I was challenged, frightened, or feeling really damn good are caught in the journal showing me how I was doing– inside of the physical image that’s usually caught on camera. I like to say that assessing your life is key to improving your daily habits and who you are wholly.

I like to re-read my journal and some things just click in my brain. What is clicking are the moments where I am proving (with evidence) to myself that my decisions led me to growth and being a different woman for the better. The “real days” are the days that I re-read my journal and note how something so small has shifted my perspective and ultimately changed who I am. 

Each day we are faced with making decisions and glimpsing at yourself through your own words can help you become a better decision maker.

Something recently that clicked for me was that I have to be more focused about how to keep the things I want in my life. I want to keep my relationship with God, keep my friends, keep the lifestyle that I have, just to name a few on the surface level. I have to make the decision to dedicate time to them. And this has spiraled into me now making decisions more quickly, and also being satisfied with my choice from the moment I confirm it. More time is spent doing useful things– not wondering if I made the best choice or not. 

I share this to ask you to write about your life history. What events would you include in your book? Maybe a time that you realized that you were a different person and you decided to GROW for the better? Or maybe a time that you struggled to be better.
