Why Life is a Book We Write, Edit, And Credit
Craig Davis
I write really good LinkedIn comments ?? | Currently looking for a new Customer Success Associate role (DM me)
When I was in elementary school, I read many books.
Textbooks, children's books, and more.
One book I read was called Arthur's Eyes by Marc Brown.
Here's the thing.?
Arthur had a series finale.
The life you write is through your own eyes.
The book you write, edit, and credit over time.
Here are 3 tips on why life is a book you write, edit and credit.
Are you ready? Let's write.
Tip #1: The life you write is what you experienced.
You have gone through trials.
The tests that life makes you take.
And retake.
Describing your feelings is how you make people feel.
It's not easy to relive and repeat what someone told you.
But when you share, people walk in your shoes.
Tip #2: Life will have you edit what you thought.
Let's face it.
In life, you have to make some edits.
Your first edition is not your final edition.
We are still editions in the conditions of life.
Even your rough drafts take time.
Always be in editing mode before you present yourself.
Tip #3: To credit who helped you and saved you.
Without people on LinkedIn, I wouldn't be commenting.
My accountability partner yesterday wants me to celebrate wins.
And not sell myself short.
Next month marks one year with the same person.
I never had an accountability partner that lasted this long.
It's like the theme song from Arthur:
"Everyday when you're walking down the street
And everybody that you meet
Has an original point of view"
From this article, take one tip and enjoy the life you write, edit, and credit.

2 年A good accountability partner is like a lighthouse (they provide some guidance and light on those “foggy/gray days” aka when we may need it the most). It’s good to read that your accountability partner reminds you to celebrate ??your wins?? Craig.
