Evaluation is the way we make sense of our lives and learn about the things around us. Like a scientist records his findings, we should likewise. Evaluation helps us to see why our lives have been as they are and why we are where we are now. It's a way of learning from our mistakes and trying to do better. Writing the pro's and con's to our problems may allow us a way to make a decision. I recommend this method for anyone who has trouble making decisions.

Evaluating people and things around us, help us in many ways. We can see how different or alike we are compared to others. Some people need assurance that there are other people out there like them. Others may want to find they have a unique and individual self. We are both! We can find solid interests and traits through evaluation.

Genealogy is another great reason to write. It is important to our future. How I wish I had journal writings and personal thoughts of grandparents and great-grandparents. It would be interesting to see what traits have been passed down from them. I would love to read about how times were for them and what was dear to their hearts. If a person feels that his writings wouldn't be interesting, the future may see it differently.

These are the many reasons why I write. I just have to because it is my way of expression. My writing does have a motive. I wish to give others hope and inspiration. I desire to see people evaluate their lives and find tranquility in their findings. Life is hard. It doesn't always go as we intend. We have bitter moments that need healed, to go on. We have gifts, if we open our eyes and hearts to find them. There is good, bad and purpose in each and every one of us. People need to evaluate these things in their lives.
