Writing for Children with Karen Cioffi

“Positive thinkers see the invisible, feel the intangible, and achieve the impossible” ~ Sean McCabe

When I was looking for a house several years ago, I came across this quote by Sean McCabe, and it amazed me how accurate it was.

As my husband and I were looking, my husband saw all the things wrong with each house. It had wallpaper; it needed a complete renovation; it needed a kitchen; the basement needed to be finished; the rooms weren’t right. The lot was too big. It was a corner property. The list went on and on.

I saw all the things right with each house. I saw how it could be. I can look beyond what’s actually there (see the invisible and feel the intangible) and see what can be.

It made me think about writing. Most writers understand that writing can be a tough business. There are lots of rejections and lots of ups and downs. To survive in this business, you need to keep a positive mindset. You need to persevere. You need to see beyond the slumps. You need to keep moving forward and achieve what may seem impossible.

This also applies to those who want to be authors but have no clue how to do it. Seeing things through a positive mindset helps you figure out what to do, whether that means hiring a ghostwriter or writing coach, or taking steps to learn to write yourself.

But it goes beyond writing. As with everything in life, there will be obstacles in your path. Sometimes those obstacles may seem insurmountable. The key is to not let them stop you. Keep moving forward. You might even envision yourself happily beyond the problem or obstacle.

So, whether it’s with your writing life or life itself, be a positive thinker.

See the invisible and the intangible and achieve the impossible.
