I was at Urban Outfitters one melancholic day, thumbing through one of their books, when I came across the following:
“When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’”
-Sydney J. Harris
The first thought that occurred to me was: Compared to death. Death is way harder. I don’t want to die.
Then I thought: Wait a minute. Life is pretty damn hard.

“You’re either first or you’re last.”
-Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights
When I first heard this, I laughed because of its silly black-or-white stance on life. Obviously life comprises at least 50 shades of grey. But is that really true?

It took me a while, but I’m back in business baby. I’m ahead on my blog writing, which means I can now concentrate on the book. My life has been rejiggered to accommodate new friends and new projects, and all the puzzle pieces are starting to snap together.
On your journey you’re going to have instances of self-doubt. After all, crags and chasms are part of the terrain. The answer of course is to continually affirm yourself. Even a veteran mountain climber has to steady his feet now and again. You do too, else you fall into the abyss.

This month marks 2 years since I first started my blog. I feel honored to have received close to 20,000 views almost exclusively through word-of-mouth. Thank you all, dear readers. If you feel that my writing has had a positive effect on you, then please pass it along. I would much rather spend what little free time I have in order to work on producing quality content than to spend it on aggressive advertising and affiliate marketing.

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”
-Bruce Lee
Why do I write this blog?
I write it to motivate, to move, to change, to inspire–not just you, dear reader, but also myself. I write because the act of writing clarifies my ideas. It organizes them, brings my awareness to them, and affirms them.
Why do I affirm them?
