Write to Connect !

Do you want to touch the soul of someone you love? Do you want to inspire others? Do you feel like thanking that person who gave you a hand? Do you think someone needs to know how well they are doing? Do you feel optimistic and want others to become infected? Are you an expert on a subject and do you think you can provide solutions? If you want to achieve any of these things, there are many actions you can take. One of them is within your reach: write.

Writing is a means of expression that by itself already has a certain meaning that we want to communicate. Saying things to your face, good or bad, certainly requires a little courage, but write them down too. Anyone who has signed a letter or received a text with their name in the recipient's space knows it.

What comes in writing has relevance. Every day we hear "I'm sorry, I said it without thinking (or without wanting to)", but we will rarely hear "I wrote it without thinking". Although the immediacy of text messages has changed the dynamics a bit and certainly from our mobile phone, we can write things that we will regret later, we all know that writing requires a minimum process of reflection on the part of the person who wrote it. does, that continues to provide strength that expresses itself.

In addition, we can forget what were the exact words they told us - something that may be convenient depending on how you look at it - but we can always keep what we have written (and return to it as many times as we please). Then there is no doubt, in one way or another, that writing commits us.

Writing allows us to order our thoughts and choose more precisely the words that express what we want to communicate. If you want to express your feelings, write a letter, leave a note, send a text message to those loved ones. If you want to inspire others, support causes, provide solutions, inform injustices, encourage you to write an opinion piece and send it to a newspaper or web portal, send an email to that person or organization or, if you prefer, create your own blog dedicated to that subject that you are passionate about. The important thing is that it can be expressed, that there is an opportunity to contribute to change, to build, to inspire, to spread optimism, to offer new perspectives and who knows whether to heal or transform a life.

Writing allows us to connect and achieve it, experts say that a text must have at least five qualities:

• Clarity: think about what moves you to write, knowing what you want to express will allow you to capture it without giving too many laps.
• Authenticity: make sure the text conveys what you really feel. When there is no congruence, it is remarkable, there are no adjectives that disguise it.
• Simple: I know sensations or ideas of what you want to express, it is always better to use words and grammatical constructions that, without belittling whoever reads them, are close.
• Precision: who wants to be well understood will make the effort to be concise and choose the exact words.
• Correction: be careful that the text is free of errors and according to the rules, it is essential. Among other things, it is a sign of respect towards who reads us, but also towards ourselves.

We can positively influence the lives of other people by using the power of words. Writing for the welfare of others is a pleasant possibility.
