What changed about writing

When I was attracted towards writing, I thought I would make dollars from it. But gradually I realized this was too small a vision. If I would think more about dollars, I would not be even able to make rupees. Since I realize now that more you run for money, more it runs away from you; thus, you become more exhausted in your quest for money.

As my knowledge and awareness about writing increased, I realized that  instead of money, writing can be used as a great tool for self discovery and realization. When I confirmed this fact from the Internet resources, my believe on it became more consolidated. However, I did not get into confirming the same from the real life examples as this would have pulled me in some different direction. I also did not consider to acquire any serious learning from anybody's experiment with writing as I think that such an experience would be extremely personal and may or may not suit my situations. Thus, I saved my time and instead started my experiment with writing as a great tool for self realization. Now I operate my life from this thought and feel thrilled to have set a certain level of understanding the life. 

This is what has changed about writing.
