Are you ready?


I've had writer's block for two months. Two months?! Yes two months! (the shame) But I've had two realisations over the past couple of weeks that compelled me to put pen to paper.

1) I can write. 'Well, duh! You've written a blog!' Well if I'm honest, I never actually thought I had a skill for writing. At secondary school English was never my forte. There were too many right answers to the same question, but Maths I could work with. Even now, I write because I like the idea of stories being told and new worlds being explored as a result. But I've come to realise there are a lot of skills that we possess that we don't realise that we have. And for me, that's writing. When we realise we actually have a skill for something, it can open up new doors of opportunities for us and take us to places we have never dreamed of venturing. 

2) I have something to share. I love to read and a wide range of things interest me. From Psychology to Politics to the psychology of politics - as long as the subject gives insight to the world that we live in and the world we can live in, I'll read it. But I won't always verbalise my thoughts and opinions - that's not me. But write about it, I will! 

You see we all have skills we have not yet recognised or skills someone put us off investing in. 

What skills do you have that you have neglected or are yet to invest in? The second questions is, what are you going to do with that skill? The world is waiting....
