Writing CAN improve your life

Most people don't suspect the awesome power that a blog can have, not only in promoting one's views and expertise, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, in enforcing a strict sort of discipline in one's thinking and writing.

The success secret here is to realize that the way you write IS the way you think.

If your writing is sloppy, then your thinking is sloppy.
If your writing is disorganized, then your thinking is disorganized.
If you have a hard time writing, then you have a hard time thinking.
If your writing is not good (according to an objective observer), then your thinking is not good.

In other words, writing helps you to think better, and thinking better helps you to have a better life (career, family, relationships, business, etc.).

I speak from experience since I DID notice that my thinking and life have been much better since I started blogging (about two years ago).
