I wanted to write for others.

If you want to write for others, it's important to keep their perspective in mind, right?

It goes without saying, though.

Back when I was a physical therapist, I'll say it myself, I was quite trusted by all types of patients.

That's because I listened to what they had to say with genuine interest.

I didn't actively talk about myself.

Because I knew that was the best way to build trust.

Once I had their trust, they were highly likely to accept the rehabilitation programs I proposed.

They would say things like, "If you're the one suggesting it, I'll give it a try."

And I was convinced that if they followed the rehabilitation I proposed, their physical and mental well-being would improve.

Keeping the other person's perspective in mind was something I did naturally when I was a physical therapist.

I have a burning passion deep down, but because I want to live peacefully, I spent my days at work pretending to be ordinary.

I was told I was "ordinary" here too. Haha.

So, for me, note is a place where I can express the parts of myself that aren't ordinary—the things I think and feel every day—as honestly as possible.

Valuing my own sensibilities was my absolute top priority.

That's why I flatly rebelled against the "other-perspective" or "reader-perspective" advice from successful people.

I told myself, "I'm going to succeed with articles written from my own perspective."

And honestly, I've been happily writing for four months just like that.

But you know, on top of that, there's something that really hit home for me recently.

And that is,

that keeping the other person's perspective in mind is really important after all.

And I mean, really important.

It sounds so obvious, doesn't it?

But this is something that only clicked for me because I spent four months going all-in on a challenge of combining my own sensibilities with monetization.

I realized that first, it's important to fully satisfy your own sensibilities, what you want to share, and what you want to say.

Especially for people who can't fit into the norm, can't work in traditional employment, but still want to earn an income on their own—they often have confidence in their own instincts, so it's even more true for them.

First, satisfy your own desires to the fullest.

Once you do that enough, at some point, a sense of satisfaction emerges.

You feel like you've done it all.

And then it hits you: 'Ah, I didn't just want to write for myself; I wanted to write for others too.'

Once that happens, you'll be able to write from the heart with the other person—the reader—in mind.

To be precise,

is the state I'm in.

This is the strongest approach.

Thanks to you, I've reached this point now.

I plan to continue writing articles in this mode from here on out.

I'll report on my progress again.
