I don’t write because I know something. The more I write, the more I discover. Our brain’s thinking circuits and our writing circuits operate differently, and when we write, our various perspectives start to process things we previously only thought about. When we write, the action that remains as a graphic and continues to stimulate our eyes also influences our thinking. Training to think and understand a concept requires using several thought tools. Write every day without exception. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t do it stylishly, and it’s okay if you don’t write a lot. Write because the act of writing itself provides a fresh perspective on your thoughts. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A balloon will pop when placed atop a single pointed needle. However, if you drive the needle with multiple thumbtacks arranged like a rug, the balloon won’t burst. This illustrates that the impact of sharpness can depend on context. Even if we face inner turmoil, the way we position our challenges and the situations we create can transform those difficulties into connections rather than sources of pain. The key lies in how we manage the distribution of sharpness rather than the sharpness itself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
