Successful People Write

Aside from the obvious connection among these people (they are each famous and wealthy) ... the more subtle and important link is:

The practice of writing.

Often and a lot.

Successful people write because writing gets results.

It clarifies your thinking.

It generates new ideas and insights.

It opens channels of connection with your truest self.

It documents events in your life.

Once you've developed the practice of writing, you may wonder how you ever got along without it.

Writing changes everything.

It has for me and I guarantee if you asked any of those fine folks on the lists above, they would tell you the exact same thing.
