How Writing Can Change the World

Writing inspires people to read. Reading can inspire people to feel a certain way. Those feelings can translate into thoughts. Those thoughts ultimately lead to actions. Every change begins with a vision. When you write you create a stream of living ideas that if allowed to flow can change the currents of life. The hardest rock can be pierced open when water keeps pounding at its surface, weathering the hurts of so many ages until finally it cracks! This is why I write: to chip away at that hardened rock of human indifference, prejudice, and intolerance. Writing exposes people to new worlds and perspectives and uncomfortable truths. Yet, it is only through exposing these truths that healing can begin. Write to unite. Write to challenge. Write to inspire. For one day it might be your idea that changes the world!

What Does it Mean to Be an American?

Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart; Americanism is not and never was a matter of race and ancestry.

Vocations – What Is Yours?

Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in a river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one, on that side all obstruction is taken away and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea…He has no rival. For the more truly he consults his own powers, the more difference will his work exhibit from the work of any other.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bloom Where You Are

It’s easy to focus on the past and the future and miss out on living your best life now. Life is a series of moments and then you pass. Make the most of your present to think great thoughts and move mountains.

Keep Hiking

For the times you just want to get off that mountain. Keep moving forward. You’re on your way to great things! Believe in yourself! Believe in your journey. If you keep moving there will always be others God places to assist along the way. It may not always be obvious what path to take but no path to greatness is simple or easy. Fight through it.

Fear is not always an indicator that something is wrong. It may be the strongest sign telling us what we have to do.

Ease vs. Hardship? Which Leads to Greater Happiness?

It is natural for people to want to lead a life of comfort and ease. Most people do not seek out hardship for hardship’s sake. Hardship is difficult and often painful. However, it leads to growth. No hardship, no growth. No growth, no fruit. A successful life, therefore, is not a life without hardship. It is one with hardship. Success dies with the person. The fruit you bear, however, lasts even after you’re gone. Now that’s the kind of legacy worth leaving, a generational one. Each of us decides our own legacy. Don’t wait to make yours.
