Avoiding Questions, Building your Mind, and the Game of Life - The Weekly Zazz #16
How excited are you for 2021?
Do you remember the school days when the teacher used to ask, if you have any questions and even if you did have one, you wouldn't ask because of what others would think of you.
Well, those same people are carrying the torch on social media as well, who don't open up thinking what would others think.
If you have something to say or share, go right ahead. Give yourself the permission and open up, ask if you want to ask, share if you want to share, you have the entire world in your hand (smartphone).
Before you continue to enjoy today’s newsletter, I have a small ask from you. I want more subscribers. I want all this value to reach more people. It’s a simple ask.
Can you share this newsletter with your friends and family and maybe on social media?
Thank you! :)
