Now, writing can be difficult. 😣 But what can help you stay with it is remembering your why. This can help you during those tough times. It can also drive you forward. So, share your why that gives you the spark to share your story! ✍️ Then, tell us about your story! 📖

I saw a discussion category called, "What's Your WHY?!" and so this is my why. I must. I feel compelled to write and think and probe and challenge. I tried for years to suppress it and find other creative outlets, but nothing was ever quite right. I need to be able to pull my thoughts together. I need to be able to share them. I need to think deeply and get feedback from others. That's why I write. I am a writer. I tried being a YouTuber, a podcaster, a Sergeant, a comedian, a pastor, a teacher, and so many other things, but none of them let my soul flourish. All of them required me to suppress a major part of my nature. So, that's my why. Will I be a best seller one day? Don't know. Will anyone ever read my essays or stories? Don't care. Will I change the world with my writing? Doesn't matter, and that't not the point anyway. I write because I'm a writer.

Dear present self ... Remember when speaking about your journey felt impossible? This Friday, I’ll be joining Eveline on BrainyHeart and will announce writing my book. We’ll talk about: ✅ My journey through illness and healing ✅ The root causes I believe led to my diagnosis ✅ The lifestyle shifts that changed everything ✅ My advice for anyone facing a similar challenge One thing I know for sure? Food played a bigger role than I ever imagined. We’ll dive into what I’ve learned about nutrition, resilience, and what it really means to thrive. I’d love for you to join us. Drop your questions in the comments, and I’ll answer them in the interview!

A year ago… I was on my knees, still, breath shallow, heart pounding so loud I could hear it echoing in my skull. For a second, I thought—this is it. I thought I was going to die… and my life didn’t flash before my eyes. There was nothing. No proud moment. No joy. Just a blank canvas. And guilt. Crushing, quiet guilt. That’s when I said to myself, “I’m gonna figure it out.” A year ago, I was lost. No real tangible goals, no real purpose. Just drifting. Going through the motions, distracted, and to be honest—I sucked at sales. Couldn’t close, couldn’t focus, and most of all, I didn’t believe in myself. After that moment, I was determined. But the world didn’t change overnight. For eight months, I worked, learned, and failed. No real wins. Just a lot of trying and falling short, but that built in me a mountain of grit. Then 4 months ago, I started working with Chris. That was a turning point. He didn’t just teach me sales—he taught me how to believe in my worth, how to connect, how to serve people, not sell to them. Now, just three months later, I’m relentless. I’m versatile. I show up every day with purpose and confidence. I’ve learned how to listen, how to lead, and most importantly—how to live with integrity. I used to avoid mirrors. Now I meet my own eyes, and I like who I see. I still think about that blank canvas sometimes. And I smile—because I’m painting it now. One honest stroke at a time. Would love some feedback on this short storytelling inspired by Matthew Dicks. PEACE & LOVE Naseef
