Why I Write what I Write

Why do I write what I write? I think a better question is, Why does anyone do the things they do? According to Dan Pink the author of the bestselling A Whole New Mind, there are three different criteria that motivates people to excel. They are as follows

1.      Autonomy

a.       The ability of the person to make his or her own decisions.

The topics I write about are chosen because of my personal and individual interest in the subject. It provides me with satisfaction knowing I can chose to write about something that I am passionate about. Passion drives and motivates people to excel.

2.      Mastery

a.       The action or process of mastering a subject or accomplishment.

In the process of writing blogs and posts, I learn and improve my individual writing skills. This provides satisfaction knowing that I am mastering my ability to express sports opinion to the public accurately and articulately.

3.      Purpose

a.       Not just any purpose but a noble, good purpose to for the benefit of others.

I have several purposes that drive my blog. Some of the purposes are mentioned earlier. To improve my skills and to express my opinion to the sports nation is one the main driving forces behind my purpose. Others are to educate myself regarding sports information. There are many individuals who voice their opinions in spite of their lack of true information on the subject. In regards to this blog, I want to become educated at a deep level of all the information present to the public.
