I Found My Calling After Prison, Here Are 3 Simple Steps I Took to Do It
These aren’t groundbreaking, and that’s why they matter.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to reinvent your life with purpose.
You need to take action.
These are 3 simple steps I took that have a massive ROI.
✔️ Journaling:
I started journaling in the Otisville federal prison library over 8 years ago. It’s one of the best tools for growth and self-discovery I know.
I don’t miss a day; it’s that important to me.
So, how do you journal?
Easy. Just write.
What you write in your journal is for you and only you.
Get it out and move on.
Spelling and grammar don’t matter.
“Good” writing doesn’t matter. What matters is dumping it out on the page and leaving it there.
✔️ Practicing Gratitude:
This is another practice I started in prison that 8 years later, I don’t miss a day.
I write what I’m grateful for and ask myself, “why,” I’m grateful for it. And I do my best to keep it fresh and think of new and original things every day.
