“Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.”

I think the Internet is full of rants. And while I have lots about mainstream culture I’d like to say, my goal is more Energizer Bunny and less Darth Vader—in terms of positive and negative energies. My goal as a writer has been to motivate, encourage, inspire—whichever cheesy buzz word you’d like to choose. My point is, I want to offer value to readers. In the process of reaching my own aspirations, I want to thought-provoke others into finding their own.

Plainly, there is a lot of things to complain about and I’m sure we’ve found ourselves neck-deep in those kinds of articles over the past decade. But in the midst of it all,I’ve found countless pockets of people who are utilizing psychology, adversity and a little sprinkle of trauma to fuel their own fire. I am one of those people and discovering those who came before me was something that really inspired me to incessantly seek progress and betterment in my daily life—down to the hour. Have I reached those aspirations? Some of them, yes. I’m still somewhere between 25-50% mastery in keeping myself productive… which is kind of the beginning. But I have learned to love the process, and I learned some time ago that not progressing is not a choice. The quote “Day one, or one day,” comes to mind. I’d rather reach and fail one thousand times before I decide to just give up and go stale.

This is my direction with my writings: to inspire and inform, as well as to document my own progress and composition. I have started to reach points where I notice things I am doing now by nature that I used to not do—things that took a long time for me to even approach. It’s very possible.
