As writers, we sit for hours drafting fiction, non-fiction, official documents, and social media posts. Yes, the chair should be comfortable. But a branded chair does not create brilliance.
The chair does not produce ideas. The mind does.
What matters is the quality of your thinking, the clarity of your expression, and the courage behind your words. This applies beyond writing. In every profession, the seat you occupy does not define you. The authority of a position is temporary. The power of ideas is lasting.
Titles change. Offices change. Chairs change. Ideas endure. Actions create impact.
Focus less on the furniture. Focus more on the foundation you are building.
