A Daily Journal CommittmentOne of the pledges I have made to myself for the next millennium is to keep a daily journal. Many writers do this religiously. I have found the best reasons for doing this on a web-site called The Top-Ten Personal. It is a great site and I hope you will check it out. Please pledge to write everyday this year, even if it is only in your journal. I have a guarantee that you will never be the same. I wish you all a Happy Millennium and hope you are all productive and prosperous in your quest to write for children. Remember, they are the future!! Be an inspiration to someone. I hope you find this article helpful and inspirational. "The Top 10 Miraculous Benefits of Keeping a Personal Journal" In earlier generations it was common to keep a diary or personal journal. Today few people do it, and very few recognize the value and astonishing power of keeping a journal. If you can read and write, you have access to the most amazing source of personal power and magic! Try it for 30 days and watch it transform your life! Clients periodically tell me they couldn't possibly find the time. I ask them to try it for 30 days. Then clients often tell me they couldn't possibly live without the power of their journals. The following are my top ten reasons to keep a journal. 1. A journal will clarify your goals. As you write a few thoughts each day, your ideas about what is important, what is worthy of your life and your time will become much clearer. You'll automatically discover what you really want in life. 2. A journal will simplify your life. Spending as little as 10 minutes with pen and paper describing your values, noting your achievements and giving thanks for the joys of life, will make you less tolerant of life's distractions. Things become much simpler when you write them down. 3. A journal will strengthen your relationships. It will give you time and the words to express your feelings, it will help you understand and be patient with your loved one's peccadilloes, and it will teach you to love more powerfully. 4. A journal will make you more attractive. Socrates said, "Know thyself." Keeping a journal will help you know yourself and express yourself more clearly, and that is amazingly attractive!
