Unlock the Power of Writing – Why Books Are the Ultimate Idea-Sharing Tool - 2025 - Week 10 Update
|
This week, I’ve been thinking about something that never gets old: the sheer power of writing. There’s nothing quite like it for taking the chaos of your mind—those half-baked thoughts, big dreams, and hard-earned lessons—and shaping them into something clear, concrete, and shareable. And when it comes to sharing ideas? Books are in a league of their own. Writing isn’t just about self-expression (though that’s a nice perk). It’s a superpower for distilling what you know and passing it on. Books, especially, have this unique ability to carry your ideas further than you could ever imagine. Think about it: a conversation fades, a speech inspires for a moment, but a book? It sticks around. It’s a time capsule of your mind that someone can pick up years later and still feel the spark. So, what makes books so special for sharing ideas? Here are a few benefits I’ve been mulling over:
The best part? You don’t need to be a literary genius to tap into this. Start with what you know—something you’ve figured out that could help someone else. Maybe it’s a trick you’ve learned in your work, a mindset shift that changed your life, or a process you’ve perfected. Write it down. One sentence becomes a paragraph, a paragraph becomes a page, and suddenly you’re building something real. Here’s my ask for you this week: take 10 minutes and write about one idea you’d love to share with the world. No pressure, no editing—just let it flow. What’s that thing you’ve learned that someone else needs to hear? If you’re feeling bold, hit reply and share it with me—I’d love to see what you come up with. Books aren’t just words on a page—they’re a bridge between your mind and someone else’s. And that’s a kind of power worth chasing. Until next time, Justin PS - I have a weekly update that I will include on my dreams below, this is something I have been doing personally for more than 2 years now, and it is my guiding light for how I make decisions and decide what I want to be doing and chasing.

Happy Mother’s Day! Today, I’m pausing to reflect on something that feels truer every year: mothers are the bedrock of who we are as people. Whether it’s the mom who raised us, a stepmom, a grandmother, an aunt, or any maternal figure who stepped up, their love, lessons, and strength shape the core of who we become. Think about it—our mothers (or those who fill that role) are our first teachers, our first cheerleaders, our first safe place. They’re the ones who bandage our scraped knees,...
This week, I’ve been thinking about a simple but powerful idea: the importance of not burning bridges. In the heat of a moment—a disagreement, a frustration, or a parting of ways—it’s tempting to slam the door and walk away for good. But here’s the thing: you never know how someone might reappear in your life or what role they could play down the road. People are like threads in a tapestry. Some connections seem minor—a coworker you barely know, a client you worked with briefly, a friend you...
This week, I’ve been thinking about something we all dodge but can’t escape: mistakes and failures. They sting, no question. But here’s the flip side—every flop is a masterclass in disguise. When you learn from what went wrong, you’re not just recovering; you’re arming yourself for a stronger shot at success next time. Think of it like a chef tweaking a recipe. The first batch of cookies might be too salty or burn to a crisp. Does the chef quit? Nope. They taste the mess, figure out what went...
