To inspire in others a desire to change for the better is truly noble; but this you can do only by leaving them alone, and becoming more noble yourself.
- Christian D. Larson
Think About It
Why do you do what you do? How do you
know what you know? How do you do what you do? Think about it.
As much as you are busy and don't feel you have the time to stop and think, you should. Have time to soak it in. You can't control your time, but you can manage it. Every experience should teach something new, even if it strengthens the importance of a past lesson.
The role that blogging plays for me is sharing memorable experiences and my reflections. I influence the thoughts of other people positively so that they want to influence others. How about you? What does blogging mean to you and value to do share?
Welcome to the interwebs, and I hope I've made you think about thinking for at least a few seconds.
Why do you do what you do?

Today’s Focused Thought - Life Sentence
Alfred Nobel wasn’t thinking about wanting to be named for the Nobel Peace prize when he invented dynamite.
He focused on
The obituary clearly recognized that Alfred’s invention of dynamite had killed more people than previous inventions combined.
Alfred read his life sentence; a window of his influence in the minds of other human beings. It was in that moment that he decided to commit himself to changing the world for the better and funding efforts that had that primary mission.
He spoke up and made sure he was heard. He wanted and chose to change his life sentence.
What is your life sentence at the moment? Are you building toward it every day the way you want to? How do you want to be remembered and for what?
Never lose sight of it. Keep the end in mind, but realize that life is curved and your plan will most definitely change. A plan gets you started and keeping the end in mind gets you where you want to be.
Know where you want to be. The journey of how to get from point A and point B is the harder part.
