10 minute blog

I'm a Counsellor.  I've never written a blog before, but have given myself 10 minutes to write this one.  I am prone to over-thinking and over-editing, so a time limit will help avoid this.  Still I have no idea what to say, which is strange since I am also a writer.

For me, if writing is to be good, it has to be heartfelt.  It has to come from the depths of your soul and charged with your personality, rather than being thought up in the head.

This is one reason why this first piece is so disjointed and difficult for me to write.  As a Counsellor, what do I write about?  In fact, my hand is hurting from writing because I have no burning desire to share anything.

Such then is the quality of one's purpose in life.  Without passion, without complete desire, it can be drudgery...one foot in front of the other.  Trouble and pain.  But when one has got something they want to share to the point where it is burning a hole because it carries with it so much energy...that is when you are carried forward on a breeze, effortlessly, as your passion is transformed into natural flight.
