Unrelated Rambling Thoughts: Or Are They?
I finally signed up with Facebook after resisting for nearly two years. I prefer MySpace because I like to write. Blogging is a terrific outlet and MySpace provided me a forum that I could test things out. I have maintained a daily blog for over two years covering whatever happens to cross my mind. I am known for my rambles.
Rambles are random thoughts. I start with one thing and end up with a totally unrelated topic, or what appears to unrelated.
Rambles may seem to serve no purpose, but they do. There is no need to impose structure, no point that must be made. It is pure unadulterated explosion of thought and emotion. I think it is necessary for the creative process. The most brilliant ideas come from the most unstructured and unconvential means. It is taking that leap not knowing where you may land.
I have this driving need, a compulsion, if you will, to constantly push the envelope of thoughts and ideas. I like presenting old wisdoms in new ways, and challenging people to dare greatly. I see an injustice and I have to do something about it. I can’t just walk by and decide that it is not my problem. Apathy is not an option. Everyone is changing the world, they just don’t realize it. I like to change it on purpose.
For me, I choose to write. It is my hope that my words will have a positive impact, that my writing will serve as a catalyst for people to dare greatly.
I am not special. I grew up in very humble beginnings. If I can change the world in my own small way, what can others do who had more than I? The potential is mindboggling. But it is unrealized potential so long as the person is unwilling to take that leap into the unknown.
My writing is like a flowing river taking you on a journey to the unknown. Sometimes it hits rough waters, and sometimes it is a gently flowing stream. Eventually you will arrive at the end into the beautifully vast ocean of possibilities.
So what will you do? Remain in that cold gray place that knows neither victory or defeat? Or will you dare greatly? That’s from Teddy by the way.
Words to live by, my friends.
