What are you preparing for?
Preparation is not limited to vacations, employment, or temporary milestones. It is a daily practice of directing thoughts, habits, and actions toward purpose, legacy, and intentional living. This reflection explores writing as a lifelong tool for focus, clarity, impact, and preparation for the life you are truly meant to create.

We prepare for vacations, outings, employment, and so many other facets of life, but what are our daily rituals and habits that we consistently perform to prepare for goals, ambitious endeavors, skill development, and legacy building? Often times people want to have fun, enjoyment, and excitement! Is it really fun to put off things of importance by using activities that provide temporary dopamine boosts, raising endorphin levels, however allowing for non reflective cycles to exist while expecting our lives to change?
The essential changes in our lives absolutely need to be intentional and directed by our decisions and actions. Today these thoughts came to mind, as many ideas often manifest while going in or coming out of a restful state. I didn’t think heavily for these notions to appear as dominant thoughts, however my dominant way of thinking tends to be surrounding my purpose for living. I’m consistently thinking of ways to translate concepts and ideas to help interpret, teach, and share essential tools to utilize daily!
My genuine place of expression is purpose driven. How can I consistently render my thoughts, ideas, words, and actions towards the greater good of all? This is my frame work and base method of questioning myself.
I tend to consistently notice patterns & redirect my thoughts. One of the most important things that I’ve done throughout my lifetime is write! It has been a habit, an effective skill set, therapeutic methodology, an accountability tracker, observation and reflection tool, expressive device, teaching or learning structure, an inherited inherent ability and even more!
I can honestly attest to amplified focus through my purposeful writing. When I align my intentions for living and this powerful habit; the universe has an amazing way of producing miracles in my life! With writing I honor my family for the gift, I respect the ability to do what comes naturally with ease, especially after so many decades of preparation. I’ve been preparing for these moments my whole life.
My writing has often been selected in different environments. It’s been highlighted as a child, in academic environments, it’s been chosen in college with essays, picked through songs written for my r&b groups, reviewed and selected by magazine editors and staff, and heavily utilized for my platforms like “Ink the Vision,” but also instrumental in writing to judges to assist others with court cases, used to help others formulate their bios for acting roles in television, musical performances, and even athletic prowess!
The range of agendas, the impact while planning, and managing companies, or making the vision of others readily apparent cannot be remiss. My purpose through writing has been an ever changing, yet consistent thread. I continue to encourage others to use writing for preparation, but more importantly, use it to create a life that completely resonates with your intention for living, your major goals and dreams, and your overall identity. Be purposeful, impactful, and prepare yourself daily for the things that you intend to do, create, and live fully!
