To Blog — Why not? Why not now?
I've used plenty of excuses over the years to not write about issues that interest me, but they have all dried up.
So, for the following reasons, I've decided to start blogging:
- Although I've always enjoyed writing, it has been quite some time since I'm written in a way that brings true pleasure. I'm hopeful this decision to blog will help stimulate the creative juices while adding a pinch of joy to my life. No doubt I'll have to wipe off some dust, but with a little effort combined with discipline, I think we'll see improvement in the weeks and months that lie ahead.
- This world is full of challenges and opportunities. I'm hopeful my unique talents and set of experiences will help a few people enhance their perspective on various issues that they might, or might not, have previously considered.
- For decades, I've loved phrases and quotes that showcase the importance of having thick skin and small egos. Over time, these qualities have helped shape my persona. Clearly other characteristics are critical to achieving success, but I've found that these two gems are on the top of my list. As I hope you'll discover with this blog, they inspire my thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes in most situations.
Two more quick thoughts:
- Although I will voice my opinion on various issues of the day, I don't believe I have the final answer. Please comment and share your thoughts, perspectives, and beliefs. Let's all learn in a professional, civil environment.
- If you comment, know it's appreciated and considered by me and many others. I might quickly respond, respond at a later date, or not respond at all. If I don't respond, please don't assume anything. It's very possible that I'm pondering or just busy.
