Why I Enjoy Blogging & Storytelling
It all begins with an idea, but for me blogging taught me discipline. Having to sit down (whatever the frequency) and write is an important skill. It forces you to learn the difficult lesson that some of the best things in life happen as a result of delayed gratification.
Blogging also taught me to reflect on what's important and made me realise all the things I didn't know about a subject that I thought I knew pretty well.
Finally, blogging gave me a voice and you don’t need to think of yourselves as an established writer or speaker. It feels liberating to have a platform to air my views, which are free from censorship and criticism, but hopefully will resonate with people who also believe in what I do.
