Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost

In recognition of National Author's Day, I’d like to remind you to share your story. Whatever that story may be.

Throughout our lives and careers, we have learned things. We learned from our successes. We’ve learned when things didn’t go as planned. We learned from our experiences, from the people around us, from the influences of nature.

Whether it is how to accomplish a task, what not to do in a certain type of situation, behaviors to emulate – or even those to avoid – each and every one of us has something to share with others.

That knowledge is the light that guides us in the darkness, and the fire that provides us warmth. 

That light, that fire, should not be wasted, lost, nor allowed to burn out. It needs to be shared so that others may benefit. 

Think about this. When we want to know something, learn how to do something, wonder about the quality of a product or service, or just answer a question. What do we do?  We turn to the internet, open a book, look up a video on YouTube, look up reviews on Google, etc.

What if none of those resources existed? What if no one took the time to create those how-to videos, write those books, share their favorite recipes, or post reviews? Literally and figuratively – nothing could be accomplished.  

To all of you out there who’ve taken the time to share by authoring a book, a blog, an article, podcast episode or tv or movie script, I say THANK YOU! My life is so much more enriched through your willingness to share your story.

And you have inspired me to share mine.

Although I have yet to publish my own individual book, over the years, I have been honored to share my knowledge and experiences in 18 collaborations with experts and influencers around the world. From professional texts on government communications to self-improvement and inspirational compilations, each was an opportunity to share a piece of information that may have helped someone solve a problem, achieve a level of success, or improve their quality of life in some way.

Plus, I had the remarkable opportunity to learn from all the coauthors and co-contributors in these volumes.

Celebrate National Authors Day with me.

Oh, by the way, there remains a few opportunities to join me in the latest collaboration book, “The Art of Connection:365 Days of Abundance Quotes.”
