When just starting to write, my main aim was to share heaps of knowledge that I thought I held, that could help people out.

But that was a cover-up!

Although this was true, I held a hidden thrive within.

That thrive was to showcase my knowledge…It’s not nice, I know but this was the reality.

Soon after publishing my first official online writings, I found out that my knowledge wasn’t all that great. Writing online had me set my feet back on the ground.

How come?

Stepping into an online writing environment and reading articles written by doctors, practitioners, great entrepreneurs, and amazingly diverse writers had me understand that I wasn’t sublime at all. I was just someone who was at the beginning of learning a great creative craft.

“Online writing had me from thinking to be a master in multiple fields, to become a rookie imposter-writer in no time.”

We encounter setbacks in all fields; how you deal with them separates you from the pack. It’s the first step toward mastering a skill.
