Turn anything into gold
Yes, the secret to alchemy. I have figured it out. I can turn anything into gold. Every word that is.
I bet for a moment there you were like "OMG O___O" or for the more realist types you were like "aham...sure...scams". But no need for that because this is just a figure of speech. I cannot turn freakin' stuff into gold because if I could do that I wouldn't be here writing, I would be somewhere buying my own island and building a castle.
But I can turn words into gold and you can too. How? Simple. It has to come from the heart, from that never-ending flame of passion. Yeah, I use metaphors but I like them so there, live with it. And if you don't like reading this go online and google some silly stuff like "100 ways to get a woman to date you" or "funny YOLO videos", I don't know.
Personally I like to read my posts. And that is what matters. If you are writing something just to please people and say what they want to hear, you are doing a pretty awful job. Maybe you can fool everyone but in the end you are fooling yourself. To be a writer you have to be original. You are aware that the things you say have been said before, but not by you. That is why it is vital to express yourself just like...yourself! Don't try to copy anyone's style. It won't be catchy. You will end up having zero readers. People have a sense of knowing when you are being true or just another sheep following the herd.
When I read something I want to feel the spirit of the person who wrote it. By the time I finish reading a person's work I want to feel like I know that person. If there are just words on paper, nothing from the soul, no passion then I can't even read the whole thing.
This concept of being original and doing something with passion does not apply only to writing but to everything. If you don't believe in yourself or in your dream you can't make it real. The force of believing is one of the strongest forces in the Universe. So no matter what others tell you, don't ever quit. Follow your personal path. If no one believes in you, that's fine. You are the only one who needs to believe in yourself and your ideals.
I could write thousands of pages about how important it is to do what you feel and how you should focus on your personal evolution ( mind, body, spirit). But because you know how much I hate long posts I am just going to tell you what the moral of the story is: to choose to be good. It's not about the riches, the power, the material things, about feeding your ego. It's all about the alchemy of the soul, to choose in every moment to become a better person.
A writer's success is not defined by how many he wrote, but with that one masterpiece. So i agree with you, your originality is your success, go dig deep in your heart and write whatever comes out from there. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for reading. I value freedom the most and I think that anyone should be free to say exactly what they think and be exactly who they are as long as it's not harmful for other people or beings :)
