Why should you blog

It is often I was asked this question by my friends, why do I blog? Hearing this, at first I thought what a stupid question to be asked? Then I gave a little thought to it and felt that it’s actually not that stupid question and made some sense to me!!  Why do I blog?  Or to put it objectively, why should you blog?

The first answer came to my mind is, I blog because I like doing it. Fine, sounds good, but why do I like doing it? After probing further on the question, I came up with below sensible answers.

I blog because

• It gives me a chance to express myself
• It unveils the creative side of me
• It hones and polishes my writing skills.
• I can inspire people through my writing!
• Blogging is in vogue, and I don’t want to be out of fashion!
• It enables me to generate revenue out of it. Of course it depends on the uniqueness, quality of the content.
• It lets me make writing as career over the longer run.
• Writing is good habit and developing good habits is the Holy Grail of many successful people in the world.

Well all these answers do justify the question: why should you blog? But the real reason for me to blog is: Writing is my passion, and passion is the driving force in life. Passion is the fuel which runs the vehicle of life. Writing gives me freedom, freedom which knows no boundaries, limits. It gives me liberty to convey my thoughts, feelings, experiences freely.

Why only blogging?

Blogging is one of the ways to achieve above mentioned things. It is simplest platform to jot down your thoughts freely and get the unbiased  feedback from everyone around the world.
