If I was the write a book what would it be about?

 Lately I have been thinking about writing a book. I realize the vanity of the that thought  Like, what can I teach people that others smarter and more successful can't? 

And who would read it anyways. My career has been mostly in one place dealing with less than vital topics that impact humanity in general and Albertans specifically.

Should it be about my hobbies? Those are interesting but also niche. And I am not particularly skilled at anything specifically. 

But honestly I would like to write a book about my pretty basic existence and how I get meaning out of life without trying to be important. How to not be full of yourself but also appreciate that your existence matters.

I would also like to collect me thoughts on how I move initiatives through the labyrinth that is government bureaucracy for over 25 years. How to keep just enough ego in the work to make the effort while surrendering to the reality of shifting priorities.

Maybe my 6 month strategy will be useful to someone. 

Maybe I can reflect a bit on how I have been drawn to important but not urgent policy issues my whole career but especially the last 17 years.  

Maybe it's worth talking about what kind of team it takes, what kind of alliances help to add permanence to your ideas. How some risks are really stupid and short sighted but I did them over again as I didn't know any better. 

The importance of timing and how to keep projects alive during times when there isn't an appetite to push that rock up a hill for now.

I can talk about the importance and perils of performance measurement and evaluation. How to keep the decision makers engaged.

I hope I come back to this. Honestly I hope I am using this website correctly so I can come back to these thoughts when / if the mood strikes again.
