Could you do this, for the rest of your life?

A question I ask myself at different checkpoints as I progress through the years.

Why?

Cause..things change. Circumstances change. People change. Your ways of thinking change.

But what could remain constant, and you wouldn't mind doing for the rest of your life?

Part of the answer for me is still, in the realm of...writing.

Even though you have AI to churn out content for you at a rapid speed.

Multiple content pieces. Multiple ideas.

But then again...

writing for me, isn't just about publishing on socials.

It's also about putting the thoughts on paper. On screen. To see the thoughts with your own eyes. Connecting it from word to word. From one idea to another. Expanding it. Creating a cohesive web.

Sometimes with sketches. Incoherent diagrams. Synthesizing the ideas altogether.

Cause writing is a way of thinking.

And thoughts become things.

For things happen first in the mind, and then appear in the real world.

Where alot of my half-baked ideas...processed via writing and mapping.

So the thing is, whether you publish on socials (or not), the habit of writing is still invaluable.

Whether it's out in the public, or in your personal journal.

It's a way to think. Something that not many people are doing these day ;)

And that itself can give you the edge towards what you really want to work on.

Whether it's in your career, business or something else.

So here I am, writing about writing.

And hopefully it gets you to do even more writing...for your benefit.
