So basically, I’d say this has been long overdue..
For me the entire process of creating and sharing content can be a bit problematic, “is this good enough?, do people need it? Maybe I should delete this one and start over. Maybe I should do more.”
Recently, I have come to learn that we criticize ourselves too harshly before other people even get the chance to. We doubt our work till we are forced to hit that Delete button. And you know, where no work is shared, nothing is criticised. It is not a terrible thing to critic your work. What is detrimental is picking on negligible mistakes and searching for the slightest error when they don't exist to hold yourself back. I'm tired of giving into my doubts, they are so limiting.
That I'm finally writing does not mean I have overcome the laziness and unsureness. I'm writing despite them. In fact, I have started this newsletter to spite them.
Journals by M is a newsletter that talks about financial growth and personal development. This is not a technical newsletter: I simply want to tell my stories and share thoughts and tips about growth. I will also be sharing opportunities with you from time to time because yunno, we rise by lifting others. I promise to not give you aspire to perspire to Maguire content here. (Uggh...I detest them). This newsletter is for everyone, however, I believe people struggling with procrastination and self-doubt will enjoy it a little more than others.
I want this to be a relatable and interactive space where readers can discuss with me and with one another. I want to get to a thousand subscribers😗. I want to develop my writing voice. But then, Journals by M is only a baby. A child who is prone to mistakes. A child that needs time to grow, learn and evolve. I want you to put this in mind as you read my journal entries and criticize me as such. Thanks for reading this far.
Please, subscribe and share with your friends💗
With love, Maryam💕
Thank you @Sarah Haruna for sharing this and you Maryann thank you
I don’t know where to start from but I’m at this point where I’m confused and I have everything it takes to start whatever I want to do but it takes courage to get up and say I’m ready
I don’t always think I’m ready but deep down I know I’m ready but it seems I can’t get ready💔
I don’t know if you can understand but that is all that came out
I just hope I made sense. And I’m currently working and praying to God my mind gets ready
💜
