Live Alive: to tell a story with your life that impacts life around you and eventually the world. Living intentionally, living outwardly focused instead of inwardly, being creative, refusing to hop on the work-spend treadmill that so many Americans waste their lives away on. What story are you telling with your life? I want to tell a great story. So, I am creating a blog to tell my story and hopefully it will be one that people will want to read.
Most stories begin with an introduction, so I guess this is where mine will start. I read a book recently by Donald Miller called "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years." That book has inspired me to start this blog. He talks about his story and realizes he is living quite a boring story, so he decides to do something about it. A bike ride across America, hikes the Inca Trail in Peru, kayaks through the Juan Islands, starts several charity organizations... Now, his story is more interesting. I don't think my story has ever been boring but I want my story to continue to be exciting. However, more than telling an exciting story, I want to tell a story of selflessness, a story that means something, that impacts others lives and the world around me, that glorifies God and not self. Everything else is lagniappe. I write this blog to keep myself accountable. Life written down exposes a lot. How will my life look written down, to be honest I am a little nervous. Let's see what happens. Ready. Ok. I gotta GO live today. Bye.
