Putting Myself Out There

It seems to me that I am long overdue on this blog stuff. So with that stated here it goes...

I have spent enough time over my many decades wondering on my own about things that I think others never think about. Some examples of my wandering thoughts are: Who am I and what am I doing? Why am I where I am today and if I could changed it would I? Am I where I am because this is the place I am supposed to be? These are the circumstances I am suppose to deal with now before I can move on to the next phase of my life. The questions are many and not limited to these. But for now this gets the ball going forward.

Don't get me wrong I am happy and I am not in a place of despair, but I am not satisfied. I have experienced and accomplished many things in my life so far. I am pleased and feel loved. But going forward I so very much want to make sure I make the best of what I have to offer the world and make a difference in my corner of the world to a greater extent than I have done so far! It's kind of like saying, "I have lived well, but from now on I really want to LIVE WELL and make a real difference!"

Here lies the question... How do make a difference in my corner of the world? Do I just place all my energies in making my family all that it can be by loving and cultivating my kids and wife/partner to the utmost? Or do I dig deeper and find the true internal energy and passion to take it up a notch -making a larger impact in the greater scheme of things? My gut says the latter.

What I plan on doing going forth on this Blog is to share with me and whoever else wants to witness the growth and evolution of a man-a dad-a husband-a son-a brother-a friend-and a human being. Taking chances. Asking tough questions. Exposing oneself to growth far beyond any level experienced so far in my life. It sounds exciting. A bit intimidating. I am optimistic and hopeful.

I will post my thoughts, challenges, fears, and experiences here for the purpose of exposing myself to the outside world in hopes that this exercise in "putting me out there" sheds some light on what this is life is all about and what I can achieve with it! What comes from my efforts - be it success or failure - a lesson will be learned.

I challenge me to do this Blog with honest intention and see where it leads.

Let's see where this takes me - us...
