The last framework is pure gold.

“Either write things worth reading or do things worth the writing.” - Benjamin Franklin.
This phrase pretty much nails the whole “creative” mind pursuit many online gurus try to teach.
Either you create amazing things, or you go out and experience amazing things to craft something beautiful with them further down the road.
It´s the escape of cheap focus, of misery into real treasures.
We have an infinite amount of resources on the Internet right now. The timespan on this Earth isn´t enough to consume it all.
And as creators, our time shortens even more.
Even for the members of our community: the balance between living and working is more often than not, broken.
We fall prey to this symptom of working and drafting, even when our energy levels are low.
It´s not burnt down.
It´s living degradation.
Do we really expect to have great stories to tell if all we do all day is either consume un-meaningful pieces of information or live inside the same reality all over again, for 365 days?
We need to have balance.
Harmony.
That´s why this phrase is a powerful reminder for me. It reminds me that I don´t need to have it all inside me.
I just need to flow with my living for me to find the true crafts I should be working or leaning on.
In this game of online writing, the best stories aren´t the ones that win.
The stories that connect, engage, and aid the reader are the ones that do.
So if I want to write beautiful stories or enhance my writing, I should be living too.
I should seek to go out there in life and have new impactful experiences.
Play a new instrument.
Learn new skills.
Enter new challenges.
It´s all about experiencing and creating in the same amount. One can´t go far without the other.
Hope this serves Fam.
See you next Saturday.
