Reading Record: 'The Courage to Share: How "Authentic Content" Creates the Best Encounters'

Thank you for coming to read this.

I spend my days diligently working through my reading backlog.

In the midst of this,
I finished reading a book I had wanted to read for a long time.

It is a book read by many people on note.

It is a book that speaks to you gently,
and every word is impressive,
but here I will write about
what changed my mindset.

Don't worry about what others think

I mainly post on note and X.
I am already "sharing" content,
but especially on X, I try not to cause any controversy,
and I have been posting with a sense of nervousness.

However, after reading this book, I thought,
"It's okay to be more honest with myself."

No matter what I say,
there will be people who like it,
and there will be people who dislike it.

I was able to let go in a good way.

Rather than being empathized with while worrying about others,
I am happier to be empathized with through open-hearted sharing.

I want to be grateful to those who accept me as I am,
and cherish those relationships.

Just by thinking that way,
I felt as if the shackles on my heart had been removed.

The wonderful changes that happen when you share

This is also true for me now.
My understanding of myself is probably different
from when I first started note to now.
By posting something every day,
I have had many realizations,
not just about those around me, but also about myself.

Ever since I started using note,
I have become able to feel grateful for
my surroundings, my learning, and my realizations.
Moreover, it is not just a temporary feeling;
I am grateful for something almost every day.
Also, when someone is happy because of my writing or actions,
I feel happy along with them.

Just as written in the book, my daily life
has become filled with gratitude and joy.

Besides that,
there are many parts I would like to recommend, such as
'7 Themes That Make Sharing Easy'.

There are so many things that
gently push me forward that I could go on writing forever,
and reading it gives me courage.

I believe that is surely
due to Mr. Sueyoshi's own personality,
and I think his experiences are also being put to good use.

For those who have not read it yet,
this is a book I highly recommend.

And thanks to this book,
I followed Mr. Sueyoshi,
and I have started reading his articles every day.

His articles are also gentle,
and many of them are filled with content that gives you courage.
There is also a lot to learn and realize.
Many of you are likely
already following him,
but he still possesses a charm that makes me want to recommend him.

Wishing Mr. Sueyoshi continued success in the future,
I will end today's article here.

Thank you for reading
this far.
