I'd like to find love, not just romantic love, but love for myself and love everywhere I turn.
I'd like to learn, not just in school, but everywhere I can find knowledge.
I'd like to find peace. Spirituality. Energy.
I'd like to be the best. Not better than anyone else. Ernest Hemingway said:
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self"
I'd like to be the best version of myself - whatever that may be.
I'd like to cleanse my life of negativity and channel all my energy positively.
I'd like to take conscious steps towards reaching my goals every day. I'd like to open myself to creating new goals. Starting a blog is my step today, what's yours?
A few weeks ago I was browsing speeches on leadership and business development - I'm currently on the job market and my ten-year goal, I had decided, is to be a manager. So, I was on a mission to discover how to become a great leader - and I still am. But this one particular leadership expert changed the way I go about my daily life by portraying a very powerful point about doing the things we do. This man's name is Simon Sinek and he even inspired the beginning of my first blog post. I won't give a detailed summary of his speech because if you're really interested (which you should be) you can watch it here, but his basic methodology lies in this one sentence in his speech:
"People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it."
This is the reason I've started my very first blog post with the reasons why I'm writing a blog post at all. I'd like to record my ideas and my thoughts, my hopes and my dreams, because I will never be the person I am at this very moment ever again, and I don't want my current mind to be lost forever. I'd like to get to know and love who I am, not just at each moment, but as a whole in the time continuum of my life. I don't want to change the world, I just want to change the way I live in it.
"The universe is. So am I. We have so much in common. I'm alive for a while, aware of being. Being something, someone, somewhere. But also (and more importantly), simply being. Existing within existence. I've got no idea what all this means. Never will. I'm just grateful to be an infinitesimal part of it, experiencing a speck of time within the vast expanse of eternity."
I'm writing to record my journey through life as I know it.
