All of us have lived through hard and good times, with triumphs and failures that have taught us valuable lessons. This makes every one of us eligible for passing our insights along. One modern way to do this is by blogging about self improvement. By doing so, we can bring coherence to our own thoughts, perhaps caution or encourage our audience, and bring comfort those who face the consequences of mistakes or set-backs.
Level one: we all like to talk about ourselves. Of course, not many other people want to listen to us. A blogger has a captive audience, if there is one at all. (And if there isn't, we may never know it, right?) We also might benefit from sending our message out in other ways.
Since true self-awareness is rare, we gain valuable personal insight by writing our deepest feelings or constructive thoughts down. We may find that our past actions were motivated by hidden desires or resentments: maybe that hated boss reminded us of nit-picking Aunt Gilly and we just now recognize the fact. If we want to improve ourselves - and counsel others - we need to evaluate the past with objective eyes and determine with zeal to change the future.
On another level, who doesn't like telling others what to do? Even the most insecure of us, without a smidgen of assertiveness, have our hidden strengths and perceptions. We do have something to pass on to others who need to hear it. If we can see warning signs to disastrous steps or behavior that we missed the first time around, maybe we can help others open their eyes and escape a similar fate.
Our perspective will be necessarily unique, but all of us have had to deal with growing up, loving and losing, being a child or a parent, holding down a job or carrying responsibility, or living economically. If we can help someone else along the road, why not try? it feels good to help; the inner glow of virtue may be the only reward we get, but it's a great feeling.
Think about the fun of telling how you coped with a new manager at work who came in like a bulldozer, disrupted the good old ways (that were working just fine, thank you), and didn't seem to appreciate your sterling qualities. You may have been the stone in the managerial shoes, or you may have quietly bided your time until the upstart came upset. Conversely, you may have realized that things would never be the same but a job is a job and done your best to adapt.
Maybe it was in the home that you learned the most valuable lessons. Did you grow your own food on your patio and windowsills, or teach your child to read when the teachers failed? Perhaps you learned to type (and writing a blog is great practice, much more fun than those boring tutorial drills) and started to process medical transcripts at home. Since you are now self-employed, that vacation in Rome could become a reality.
Anyone with a real message owes it to the rest of us to send it out. Those who just feel like babbling can be very entertaining. Imagine Erma Bombeck with a blog, or 'Dear Abby' with a virtual following.
