I am officially tossing my name into the ever-expanding blogosphere. “Why?” you ask. Because I have come to realize that a blog can actually strengthen some of the pillars which I believe constitute a meaningful life. (What those pillars are, I can elaborate on later. ) Sound like a grandiose and self-indulgent claim? Perhaps.
This site is my attempt to share things with others that interest me greatly while giving others the choice about whether or not they want to have it shared with them. That is, nobody will force you to read this material. It will, however, force one man (me) to consider his life and live it in a way in which he is not ashamed to share it with the public. This doesn’t mean that I relinquish all of my rights to privacy, however, should I choose to forgo the pursuit of a stated goal in order to catch up on some YouTube cat videos, I’ll have the world to answer to.
Bear in mind, with my writing I make no claims to be an authority. I am a curious human who is working to make the most of my time on this planet. Where my human brain sees a problem, I will talk about it. Where I have found some information that appears to alleviate these problems, I will tell you what I’ve found. If you have more information on a topic that you think I would benefit from, please share it.
I will post links to people, places, and products. When I do so, I am not necessarily endorsing every facet of the subject’s existence. If I talk about an individual who has an interesting tip for never losing your car keys, I will not spend time defending a book report that they wrote in grade 10 where they declared “Tolstoy is dumb!”After all, maybe they had a point? I don’t know…… At least I know where my car keys are!
My primary interest is on results. Is life getting better for my family, myself, the community, the world? If not, what are my next steps to do my part? How can I make things better, or at least, how can I avoid making them worse? Theories abound with respect to societal and self-improvement, but I am less interested in waxing philosophical than I am in enjoying the results of a life well-lived. Practice is what matters. This blog is a record of one man’s practice. Success and failure alike. Here we go……
