Hit uniqueness and awake great feelings

What would you like to write about if the next piece were the last one of your life?

Who the message will be for? and why?

What kind of things and thoughts would you like to express?

By answering these questions you might find the most powerful masterpiece. Why? Because you want to give the most impactful, honest, and helpful advice to anyone who will read your piece.

In fact, by doing it, you will find fulfillment, happiness, and meaning in your life. But, not only that. It will allow you to do your best without hurting you. It’s the best meeting with yourself.


Write every single piece as if it were the last one

Play this fuck*** soccer match as if it were the last one of your freaking life — my coach repeated it every beginning of the match.

The idea behind was so clear — to encourage and push the team to do their best. Most of the time it worked really well, and the times that it didn’t, there was a good feeling and huge satisfaction with ourselves because we did our best. There was no such thing as defeat.

When it comes to writing or any field you are in is the same. If you believe and act as if the piece you are about to write is the last one, certainly you will create a masterpiece.

You only have one chance to express yourself so that’s the momentum to do your best.

I use this technique for every task I have to do. At work, at home, or anytime I need to complete a task.


Magic things happen when the piece isn’t dirty

No doubts that if you want to write the piece as if it were the last one of your life, you will forget completely about getting money, followers, or fame.

You are not interested in dirtying it with those previous aspirations and desires. You don’t care about them at all.

You only want to speak out through the piece and lose yourself in it. You only want to give advice somehow, be vulnerable, be yourself, and write about something that is really important to you and for your audience. You only want to spread your voice.

As a result of writing that way, it will bring huge benefits and rewards to your life, and of course, it will mark a difference from the rest of the writers. Why?

Because it could be the same story had already written before, but yours has something special, a uniqueness — Your soul and heart are in it.


Hit uniqueness and release feelings

Have you ever read the same or similar stories from different authors? I bet that yes. You probably have noticed that it is the same story but the way each of them outlines it makes a huge difference in how you read and engage with it.

That’s what I call uniqueness.

A story becomes unique thanks to being yourself and nothing else. All of that allows you to hit that deep level of connection with the reader. It’s the way to find your unique voice and release feelings on the reader.

I can easily find my unique voice when I write with the intention of not getting traction and followers.

From my point of view, uniqueness is the result of the genuine intent of giving advice, helping others on the other side of your screen, and in the end enjoying the gift of feeling freedom while you write.


Start and enjoy an endless writing process voyage

Writing a piece like if it were the last one of your life is a powerful state of mind. Under this mood, your worry is to start off an endless voyage with the writing process. You are looking for a serious relationship with writing.

I have proven that when I write in that way, my writing perspective completely changes.

I don’t want to finish it just because I want to finish it. I am not in a rush trying to hit the publish button. I am not thinking about its traction nor how many followers I can get.

Instead, I want to make sure every single word fits in the right place and conveys the right message I am trying to express.

I want to touch my reader and turn a few writing lines into a real talk — I want to become his best friend while he is reading the piece.

So, you can write better pieces since you are not in a hurry. You should take the time to write, read, and to edit it as well as. All these are part of the voyage I just mentioned above.

You know very well that the purpose of that piece is to publish it with honest, actionable, and powerful advice.

In the end, your piece will start to shine by its own light. You will write better pieces for yourself and for anyone else out there who is looking for that kind of advice.


Get gratification and be proud of what you created

Whenever there is a sense of accomplishment a feeling washes over us. You are proud of yourself and that is the gasoline to create more, more, and more content. It’s the inexhaustible source of power to keep moving forward.

When you are proud of yourself nothing and nobody can stop you. Nobody else has the power you have. You are the architect of your life on your own terms.

You are proud of what you created, not how this will get traction. When you write a piece putting your heart and soul, you can believe how damn you were able to create that kind of content.


Awake your readers and make them feel alive

Whenever I read a piece and the piece delivered what its headline promised, I feel happy and so thankful to the author. Because I have new things, pieces of advice, or takeaways at hand to work and put into practice. That kind of piece makes me feel happy and alive.

Thus, since your piece is gold content there’s no doubt that your readers will feel identified with and happy to read every single sentence in it.


Final Thoughts

There’s no doubt in the power of the mindset of writing a piece like if it were the last one of your life. There are several rewards of writing in that way.

You will not only write golden content but also you will be able to firstly touch yourself and then the reader. This means an important impact on the two worlds — the reader’s world and yours.

Under this kind of mindset, your concern is to fit every word, every sentence, every paragraph and turn them into truth and actionable advice or inspiration.

On top of that, there will be huge gratification, and pride in what you were able to write without dirtying it with emotions and desires.

I hope this piece turns out helpful for you.

Thanks for reading!
