Its all in the title

The title of this blog is part of my favorite quote from Gandhi, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." It is a quote that I have come to adopt as a core belief. There are countless times that I hear people complain about this and that. There are so many problems in the world that people can easily point out, but how many are actually trying to do something about it. To many times I hear "What difference can I make, I am only one person." Well, with that attitude it won't be much of a difference. Instead everyone needs to believe that he/she CAN make a difference. If you think there should be more trees in the world, plant one. If you think the environment needs help, change your light bulbs. If you believe in God, tell someone. If you think you're fat, then exercise. If you aren't happy with politics, tell your elected officials. There are countless things anyone can do to make a difference. It doesn't have to be world shaking, it just needs to be sincere. It doesn't have to be big, but do something to make the world a better place.

And it begins...

Well, I have always said that I would start one of these, but never really got around to it. I have had several people tell me that it is important to record interests, personal insight, and beliefs for other people to read. So I begin the task of regularly recording events that occur in my life and thoughts that run through my head. Of course if I accurately transcribed ALL the thoughts running through my head then a seemingly endless quagmire of disconnected ramblings would fill up this page quite quickly. I will do my best to keep posts to a specific topic (even if that might involve multiple posts at a time). I have tried using a journal in the past, but much to no avail. It usually consists of a weeks worth of writing which quickly trails off into the nothingness. Lets get started.
