Obvious to you. Amazing to others
--
I’m a fan of Derek Sivers. Go to Youtube and look up Obvious to you. Amazing to others. He is a genius. You will find a short, to-the-point animated video of an idea. A great idea.
You don’t know how your writing on Medium and elsewhere will affect your reader. Stay encouraged and keep writing. Keep creating.
“Everybody's ideas seem obvious to them. I bet even John Coltrane or Richard Feynman felt that everything they were playing or saying was pretty obvious. So maybe what’s obvious to me is amazing to someone else.”
Derek Sivers
I need outside inspiration all the time.
I need inspiration from reading or listening to someone every day. When I come across an authentic message from someone, I’m lifted. When I come across an informative read somewhere, I’m thankful that the author took the time to share. When I discover a new truth, I’m excited. Also, when I can pick up my phone and google anything from the distance from Cleveland, Ohio to Manhattan, NY, or how to grill a steak. I’m grateful. Even when someone takes the time to write an insightful review on Amazon, it helps.
To become a member of the Medium community and contribute either in reading or writing is lovely.
