Sharing really is caring

June 13, 2021

The knowledge I’ve gained has cost me a lot, be it expensive mistakes or time invested. But, it’s actually free to share, so why not help other out with what I know?

One of the reasons I’ve decided to resurrect this blog, is that I feel like I’ve finally had enough experiences that I have something to give back. I realized that there are a few hard fought lessons that I’ve learnt, perspectives that I’ve gained & just different concepts that I’ve come across that might benefit others.

Now, I could do what I have been doing with all this knowledge and experience, and hoard it. It’s really easy to do that. But, I realized that sometimes I have something unique to say; sometimes I’ve got a different perspective, or I can put ideas into different terms & it might click with someone. So, that’s why I’m here - that’s why I’ve decided to start sharing again.

There will be people in your life, and people that you know that only you can reach by sharing your unique perspective. So, I encourage you to share what you know. It might be the 10th time they hear a similar idea, but you just might have the right words that helps it click for them.
