We all maneuver through this life in various paces. At times we are on a relaxing stroll, at other times on a jog trying to keep pace, and at other times in a sheer panic sprint. Each stage of life is filled with new experiences and discovery – discovering new information, discovering new skills, discovering ourselves. As I embark on this entrepreneurial adventure I seek to find the inspired path for my life and in so doing, seek the best tools to guide me on this path. Keeping a journal is one of those tools that will help me to recognize the lessons learned, the lessons to be learned, and the organization of new ideas so I can keep life in perspective and continue to make progress and enjoy this journey.
There is something special about expressing our thoughts in writing. The process of writing clears our mind and allows us to take a brain swirling and overflowing with often disjointed thoughts, pick through those bits and pieces one by one, make sense of them, and then turn them into words, ideas, plans, and subsequently action. Journal writing allows us to take our relentless curiosity to continually discover answers and at the same time formulate even more new questions.
Each phase of the ENTREPRENEUR’S JOURNAL can help us to find the next step on the ENTREPRENEUR’S JOURNEY.
Writing in a journal is also a mindful activity that brings the mind to the present. When I use this tool of journaling to explore my mind, then I transition from a passive observer in which the thoughts and ideas are trapped in my mind to an active participant in life. The act of writing itself is an activity that bring joy. Keeping an entrepreneurial journal is a wonderful way to enjoy the journey. So with this in mind, I challenge each of you to Enjoy the Journal!
