Taking steps everyday

Do you know what it is that you crave? Do you know what it is in life that feels like this is what you were born to do? Some people don't and I was one of those people for a long time. Then one day my wife said to me, You know you could write a blog,...

She is an amazing idea woman. I feel that writing this blog is the very beginning for me. These are some of the first steps I am taking toward fulfilling my life's purpose. There have been many things before this blog that were leading me to this point, but this feels like the true beginning.

Every weekend I spend several hours of my free time writing and pouring myself into this blog. I have asked myself, is it worth it? I always answer, Yes, absolutely!! I love the idea of creating a sense of relief in the heart of another. I love the idea of someone reading this blog and feeling a smile cross their face as they identify in some way with some of the things I have been through. I love the idea of creating a feeling for someone that they are not alone. I love the feeling that something I write could open someone's eyes to seeing something that makes their live a little easier.

This is what I was born to do and I am feeling fulfilled. I am content with where I am now and I am eager for more. Is the sacrifice I make of my free time worth these feelings of living a life fulfilled. Absolutely!!! It is my vow to myself to continue to live a life feeling fulfilled.

  1. Yes. When people start blogs, it's usually because they have something very specific they're feeling passionate about...most often it's anger or great sadness. Their motivation is to get that feeling or message out there. But once expressed, where does one go from there?
    97% of blogs "fail." Meaning, they are not continued after 30 days.

    You have something deeper to accomplish. It's not one thing or one passion. It's an ongoing life experience and reflection that you're committed to sharing.

    You've blogged regularly so we can depend on your thoughts every day. You consistently write beautifully and, yet, to the point. You've been transparent and brutally honest in your posts. And you raise your readers up just a notch every single post.

    Thank you. Love you. Admire you. Read you. Hug you.
