I did not always value journaling, and for many years I misunderstood how to journal. I thought journaling was recording what happened throughout my day and recording my feelings and emotions. This did not excite me. In fact, my days and emotions are pretty dull- so why write about them? Well, I didn’t. But, a few years ago, I began to wonder why visionary leaders like Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, and Albert Einstein kept a journal? I found these visionary leaders took time to reflect. By writing what they were learning, their goals and achievements, and their thoughts, they had a way to document their ideas and perspectives. I realized these extraordinary leaders were focused on learning more, doing more, seeing more, and understanding more. So, it was important they slowed down from the fast-pace of life and actively engage in the ideas they encountered. Now, that excited me, so I began to journal.
