Writing Is Good For Your Character Building
Writing Is Good For Your Character Building
Experience for yourself
One big benefit that I gained from writing is that I am becoming more authentic.
I wrote about temperance, self-control, and negative emotions to keep at bay at all times.
Just, I lost my cool over an incident that was nothing serious, and immediately, the strings of my guilty conscience tugged at me.
How could I expound on the values of tolerance when I had none?
I reined in my mood, apologized to the other party for my out-of-character moment.
Writing is a commitment, not just committing words of truth to the computer but what I wrote about was indelibly etched in a part of my brain.
I do not want to feel fake. I always say what I mean and also write what I feel.
What you read and write about regularly, you will internalize. This is may be good character training for me. I will continue to stay true and live my life right and happy.
