J Cleveland Payne’s Top Ten Medium Articles For 2014

In 2014, I was blessed with the chance to do a lot of writing, but cursed with the number of options to post my writing as I chased readers. One of my more successful depositories for 2014 was Medium. Medium had a shift in focus mid-year that made it even harder to be featured, and was tricky to get featured in the first place. But I am very proud of my results from Medium and will put an extra focus on using the platform more effectively in 2015.

That said, here are my top ten Medium articles for 2014, as determined by reads per day.

4 Days ‘Til 40: Life Lesson Learned #37

Sometimes, the most unlikely people show up just in the nick of time to save your hide. Even the vilest devils can appear as the answers to your prayers (and you can read that as literal or metaphor. I don’t really care, but you know it is truth). For whatever reason, they are meant to be your blessing. Let them be your blessing. Don’t get in the way of them being your blessing or you receiving your blessing.
