My 7 Personal Favorite Articles

Articles about self-improvement, motivation, mindset, and life.

I started writing on Medium.com back in February. After getting off so a slow start, I started writing for the publication Illumination and I’ve since found my rhythm.

Dr Mehmet Yildiz suggested that the writers make a list of their favorite articles and that sounds like a great idea! Here are my favorites so far.

Trying New Things: Outdoor Rock Climbing

This is my first article to be curated on Medium which is special to me. It’s a day talking about my first-time outdoor rock climbing. Some cool pictures of Lake Tahoe and me on the rock.

Push Through and Post It Anyway

This is my most recent article. I like it though and I think it really encapsulates my journey as a writer, building my blog, and what I’m trying to do.

Don’t Be Sorry. Apologize and Grow Stronger

This article got hosted on a Wordpress blog that has around 14,000 followers. After a few days, the article had about 60 comments and the number of people who were able to relate to my words was a really powerful motivator for me.

The Game of Writing: Learning the Basics and Finding Your Voice

By far the longest article that I’ve ever written. I would consider it a short essay. I think it’s a bit short of 3500 words. It’s about learning how to write, the basics, and finding your voice. If you’re looking for a longer read, that’s the one.

The Great River of Life

This is the first piece that I published on Medium. I’m not sure exactly what I would call it. It’s almost a poem maybe? Let me know what you think!
