The best way to create is not to create for our own personal needs, but to create in the service of others and to make new connections because of that.

For example:

- Publishing contents on the Internet
- Teaching & sharing knowledge with others
- Co-creating & collaborating with other creators
- Being an active contributor to communities
- Creating communities with like-minded people

Few reasons:

1. When you publish and share your work with others, you gather valuable feedback.

You invite people to exchange ideas and allow them to strengthen the quality of your thought process.

As a result, you learn from others, too.

2. By putting yourself out there and giving value to others, you create your own opportunities.

More doors will naturally open and some could be opportunities you have never imagined before.

Some opportunities may even come to you without you seeking for them.


3. When you create in the service of others, you are creating an impact.

Your impact will inspire others, and importantly, it will inspire you back.

It creates a flywheel effect to serve a bigger cause and to create a bigger impact.


4. Nobody succeeds alone.

We are social creatures, and we thrive through collaboration with others.

And we become happier when connected to others.

In summary, stop accumulating and hoarding our knowledge.

Instead, we need to create more in the service of others.

Creating new connections and opportunities to serve a bigger impact.
