About
It would be lovely if I had an inspirational story to share with you. Some bolt of lightning that came to me and inspired me to buy a domain and start a serious blog. The story would probably involve our collective mortality, seizing the day and possibly something about children. I don’t have an inspirational story to share, though. This is my story. I’ll leave it to you to decide if it’s inspirational. This is the story of me trying to be a better person. Hell, this is the story of me figuring out what being a better person means. In the last few months I’ve taken a long look at my life and realized some changes need to be made. If I keep going the way I have been I will burn out by 30 and probably be dead by 40. I need to find a way to balance work and life, I need to find a way to balance health and fun and I also need to find a way to satisfy that niggling urge in the back of my mind to be a super hero. This blog is where I intend to chronicle that search. Over the next year I will be writing about the search to be a better person and the myriad definitions of a better person. Some of it will be about weight loss, fitness, technology, nutrition, work/life balance, modern events, ethics, productivity, GTD and any other topic that helps me along the way. I will write what I can and, when I can’t, I’ll find someone who’s said it better than me, give you some tidbits and point you in the direction. I am an avid reader and intend to put that to good use. This blog is about trying to be the very best version of yourself, which doesn’t always mean the most productive or the richest. It means the happiest person you can be, the kind of person that, right now, you’d look up to in admiration and awe. This blog is about being a hero.
