Growth through writing
| blogging, writingCan writing make a difference?
When I talk to people about writing, journaling, or blogging, they sometimes hesitate. “No one’s going to read it anyway.” “It won’t make a difference.”
It’s not about being read or about being famous. It’s about discovering what you know and learning how to communicate it more effectively.
Writing is the tool that helps us sharpen our selves and share our experiences with many, many more people than we can ever meet.
Don’t worry about being lost in the flood of blog posts and status updates. Live and share.
(Hat-tip to Akhila Kolisetty for the nudge to write about this!)
