So, I’ve found new to motivation to blog. Formerly it was about whatever I wanted it to be about. I suppose it will still be about whatever I choose. The difference here is I’m going to be using it as a tool to tune and train my ability to express myself and gain discipline in doing so. Previously, I would blog when I felt like it. As I got more comfortable and had expressed all the obvious things that I had passion about I would stop because it became hard. However, that was the mistake. It is easy to be insightful when you have passion about what you’re saying or when it was previously on your mind. You have been thinking about it constantly during idle time you find yourself with. But the true challenge and measure of greatness (of which I’m sure I sprout and am capable of, through written expression in any form) is to be able to firstly identify something worth thinking about that peaks interest in you and be able to GAIN an understanding of it, then to express that understanding how you see it, to others clearly, concisely and for me creatively. Even the greatest minds lack that ability. I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation where we wished to gain a better understanding of something and have picked up a book on the issue or sought out a source that we thought would be helpful and have been left uninformed or thoroughly confused after what seemed like what should have been an informative exchange. Why, because it was clear that they had a good understanding and grasp of the topic, whatever it may have been, however they were just unable to communicate that understanding. That is the basic boundary, in my view of greatness. The ability to communicate one’s “verb.” By the verb I mean whatever it is you are doing, thinking, saying, hearing or have heard, learning or have learned. Basically whatever makes you feel the need to move on “it.” One can have great desire, but without the means to act there is just desire.
So, with this blog from here until I feel I have accomplished my goals I will be honing my ability to communicate my understanding of whatever! So I suppose I should start with my personal Mission statement. This by no means is static and WILL change without notice but most likely I’ll mention the major alterations ;-)
What it is:
This blog is the expressed efforts of myself to better my own means of VERB communication. Through it I will sharpen my ability to translate my feelings, ideas, ideals and all other things I feel urged to transpose onto others, into a form that will allow all to experience my experience. Additionally I will push myself to gain discipline in the area of consistency and sustain this blog regularly in the face of internal apathy. Furthermore I am going to DISCONCERN myself with the attention of others in regard to this blog AND my other forms of expression and Verb transposition. I DO encourage all to travel with me on my journey to better relay and receive verbs from others. I feel that this can only make the world better. However, the approval of others will neither encourage nor discourage me. I am Self Motivated from this point forward. Period.
