"If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
- Toni Morrison
Someone once told me you write the books you need to read.
Now, I haven’t written a book yet. Maybe you haven’t either. But I do think we all have one inside us. Probably more than one.
And even if you’re never going to sit down and write a book, there’s still something here worth holding onto. Journal. Capture your thoughts. Talk into your phone. Keep notes. Collect the moments. The challenges. The small insights. The opportunities that show up and disappear just as fast.
Take the time to document your life while you’re living it.
Now if I can make a suggestion…
There is a book I think you need to read right now. 📖
Theo of Golden.
I get the sense the author, Allen Levi, wrote the book he needed to read. And in doing so, created a character that feels aspirational in a very real, human way. The kind of person you think about long after you put the book down.
I’m only about 40 percent through it right now, and I’m intentionally going slow. Really slow. It’s just that good. I don’t want this book to end.
I’m not going to tell you what it’s about.
Just trust me on this one.
Pick it up. Buy it. Spend time with it.
It might stay with you longer than you expect.
