addendum

i just made the decision that as long as i can help it i’m not going to go back and edit any posts, i just might add on to them.

my first post, why? – i gave a list of purposes – the purposes behind why i started doing this and what i wanted to accomplish with this. i gave five. and today i thought of two more.

sixth purpose – it’s my journal. these are my memories. i’m positive that one day i’ll write in here and it won’t be all happy and politically correct, it’ll be what’s happening that day. but i can tell you that one day it’s going to be fun to look back at these, and see how weird and honestly wrong i am. i don’t know what it’s like to be a father before i am one. so looking back after we have children to see what i said, how i said it, it’ll be fun. it’s also going to be fun to see what i end up writing and how i write it and what i end up saying about my book(s) before they come out. but i’ll have it all written down.

seventh purpose – there’s one thing that i want to do with my life before it’s over. i want to build and create a legacy. there are all sorts of quotes that go something like, “there are two times that you die – once when you physically die – and once when someone says your name for the last time.” i want my name to be said 50000 years from now. not because of my accomplishments, not because of what i did, but because who i impacted – who i helped – who i could impact with my time here. and for anyone reading any of these posts ever – the most i could ever possibly do is impact you – motivate you – inspire you – help you to have the right mindset. mindset is everything. the passion, the drive, the motivation, the energy, it all comes from your mindset. and a free blog, on the internet, that absolutely anyone can read – it’s the easiest possible way i could perhaps motivate or inspire anyone. i don’t do what i do for me.

i do what i do for the people around me, the people who i love, the people who i haven’t even met yet, the people who i will meet, and the people that i won’t ever meet. you’re the most important person to me, and don’t ever forget it.
