Is blogging just writing an e-journal? It feels too open - too many options of what to say, which I suppose is anything really. Which brings me to why I'm blogging today.
I have too many option of what to do next year, too many thoughts of ideas of what I'd like to do and too little action of actually doing it.
How does one choose between working to change agri-business, improving farm animal rights, reducing obesity, eating locally, promoting physical activity, fixing poverty through micro-investing, personal language/communication development, fighting for women's empowerment and education, saving the dolphins, improving our railroad system and public transportation, finding green energy, making sure we use clean energy, figuring out what to do with nuclear waste, finding spirituality or ...??? and that probably isn't even the half of it...
Not to mention the whole supporting ones' self financially, finding true love, loving what you do, staying in touch with your friends, eating healthily, getting active and being involved in your local community.
Even if time was unlimited and energy was endless how do you find the inner drive to keep going? I find I rely heavily on outside input, on interpersonal interaction to exchange ideas, I recharge with positivity when others see value in what I'm doing. I still haven't found the inner motivation to do everything I would like to do...but I'm working on that.
I'm finding inspiration on TED.com (John Francis, Dan Barber, Ian Dunbar...), and just hearing about what other people have done and what people are capable of.
