I recently read this amazing little book by Austin Kleon called Show Your Work! And it may be the book that moves me out of stuckness. Thanks, Austin.
I’m rereading it as I begin to reframe how I show up. Instead of teaching or sharing bits of wisdom from a place of authority, I like the idea of sharing as an amateur.
Screenshot from Austin’s book:
I always wondered how I could ever be so unique and masterful that I can stand out and be compelling enough to create ongoing conversation on the internet with others. It’s to be myself. No two people can show their work the same way.
I realize I have no control over if, how, and when the world will engage with me. I only have control over what I choose to do and whether or not I put it out where people can find me.
