It has been a while since my last post. Too long in fact. It seems like after I finished answering the questions of the 7 day blog challenge I lost my momentum. Well it is time to get back to it. In reviewing the content on the LYL website this morning one of the questions asked was to reflect on what is holding you back from reaching your dreams? After thinking about this for a while my…
What Revolution Will I Lead? My blog challenge for today is to define what revolution I will lead. Admittedly today’s challenge seems like a very tall order for me. As I am just beginning to find my passion and learn to assist others, defining what revolution I will lead seems a bit premature. I am guessing this exercise is designed to make me stretch my imagination and stretch my thinking. With that in mind here is my initial definition of…
My blog challenge for today is to write about what difference I want to make in the world. This feels like a pretty tall order to write about for someone new to blogging. I am an analytic person by nature and need to guard against making this assignment harder than it has to be. So here we go. The difference I want to make in the world is to help people leverage technology in their personal and business lives so…
My blog challenge of the day is to define my “elevator pitch.” My elevator pitch is meant to define what excites me (personal or business)? What I am building or want to build? It is meant to address the fun stuff in my life that I actually care about. It is meant to help me as I meet new people and run a “mini experiment” to test out my ideas with others. It also designed to make conversations a ton more…
My blog challenge topic of the day is “What’s one thing you’re proud of?” While reflecting on this question several of the traditional things people are proud of came to my mind. Graduating from school, completing military service, getting married, having children, and career success. After thinking about it a little more I chose earning a Toastmasters Competent Communicator award. For anyone not familiar with Toastmasters or their awards I will provide a brief synopsis. Toastmasters is an international organization…
Today’s title is part of my homework for day two of my blog challenge. There are multiple things that really make me angry about the world and in no particular order here they are. People who hurt children or women, poverty, religious intolerance, religious fanatics, the cost of higher education, the one size fits all education system of the US, high taxes, partisan politics, extreme views right or left, racial bigotry, the high rate of homelessness in the…
Hello again. Following up on my last post, I have started this blog as a part of joining the Live Your Legend community that helps people “Find & Do Work You Love.” As part of the process I have joined their start a blog challenge. This challenge is designed to help people get their blog started and develop good writing habits. I have always liked writing and I look forward to learning and sharing as I continue my journey.
I grew up in the land of the Zia symbol as a very mischievous lad. After high school, I attended one year of university in the Duke city, but then I decided to “be all that I could be.” After a few long years in the land of the Boomer Sooners, I fulfilled my promise to my Uncle Sam and he in turn kept his and paid for my college education. Since I could go anywhere, I followed my early passion…
