Mission Statement

People have many things, but we only truly own three things. We have many possessions, cars, clothes, houses and gadgets. These things are temporary and, as they say, we don't take with us. Our thoughts, words and deeds are ours for life and, depending on your belief system, for all eternity.

With this realization comes my mission statement, my way of life. To me, if I think something that is what I should say and do. If not, I am worth nothing. If I say something it should be what I think and what I do. If not, I am worth nothing. If I do something it should be what I think I should do or what I said I would do. If not, I am worth nothing.

To me, the worst thing is to break your word. If you say you are going to do something, then do it. Too many people make empty promises or just break their word for their own convenience. Stand for you think, do what you say and you will have no regrets.

The first blog. This marks the beginning of random thoughts from a quiet, unassuming young man. Full of of deep introspective and shallow insights. A paradox of humanity indeed. A compromise of consertive and progressive, good and bad, right and wrong.

In a time of moral relativism, we are confronted with absolutes. No matter which side you stand on there is no debating because no one is willing to find common ground. I am right, you are wrong. Most of the time contention is based on misunderstanding of the assumed other position. The world wide web, the information super highway, has opened up so many channels that it is impossible to separate fact from fiction.

Living today is perplexing. An anointed time of enlightenment rendering the antiquted teachings of Religions as moot. Yet, it is a time when it appears we could use its wisdom and guidance the most.

This is just the beginning. More thoughts, words and deeds to come.
