Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION

Greatness & Abundance

2000+ ILLUMINATION writers are serving 18,600+ readers!

The cause of poverty is not scarcity. It is fear and small thinking. — Alan Cohen

Choose joyful abundance in your heart and be unbounded, free, and relaxed. Be relentless with your choice and you’ll make your mark. — Amy Leigh Mercree

Welcome to another joyful day on ILLUMINATION

In my bulletin yesterday, I briefly touched on the importance of appreciation and recognition for the motivation of writers by their peers. Some writers have already submitted stories on this joyful topic. If you haven’t seen the new writing challenge, please check my bulletin from yesterday. I will compile the submitted testimonials soon and share them as part of our distribution process. Our writers are valuable. Thy need appreciation and recognition.

Today, I want to touch on abundance mentality as part of our diversity and inclusiveness values. As mentioned in my distribution earlier today, we are proud of our writers coming from diverse backgrounds, bringing richness to our publication. We believe in freedom of information and expression hence do not censor content as long as they adhere to Medium policies.

I firmly believe that each writer and each story is unique. ILLUMINATION offers a wide range of options for our valued readers. It is up to our readers to choose what they want to read and engage. By leveraging our diversity and inclusion, we offer an abundance of options, greatness, and joy to our readers. The rest is details.

Update on Writing Challenge

Many writers participated in two writing challenges. You can find the activity details from these links: Challenge 1 and Challenge 2.

I compiled submitted stories as part of this challenge in a single story for easy access. There are a few new submissions today. Our readers love these stories.

Many thanks for the submissions related to both challenges. I look forward to the remaining writers to participate and enjoy the benefits of this writing challenge. We need to collaborate.

This activity is an excellent opportunity to meet new writers and develop your relationship with them. This activity can increase the number of your followers and fans. The more fans you have, the more visible and readable your articles can be. Let’s keep our vitality and create synergy.

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?

Here is a bundle of stories that I was able to add to our distribution list today. Thank you for adding comments to create visibility to your great stories. You deserve recognition.

One of the purposes of this daily distribution is to access to our stories easily. You can read and share them easily. You can follow the writers. I recommend enjoying as many stories as possible from this list.

If your story is not included, please leave a comment by linking your story. As of publication team, we do our best, but it must be a collective effort to bring more traffic to Medium which a collaborative content development environment. The bottom line is; the more traffic Medium attracts the more visibility our stories get. Every Medium writer should be aware of this undeniable fact. ILLUMINATION is making the best effort to contribute to this desirable requirement by giving a wide variety of attractive options to our potential readers.

To this end, it will be fantastic for each writer to take responsibility to create visibility for his or her own story. Please remember tweeting the stories you read; share them in your social media connections. We grow with support, synergy, and collaboration. Let’s wear our entrepreneurial hats and replace scarcity with abundance!

You can find our previous distribution list from the attached story.

Let’s check our publication page for more stories. Many more stories can be found from our publication page.
