It has taken me 36 years to come to the conclusion that there is enough negativity in the world.
O.K., that's a bold faced lie. It has taken me thirty six years to find a great avenue to do something about it. I admit I am not there yet, but the direction is now being set.
It is time to be positive, self directed, disciplined, and create.
We are taught to consume.
Time could be better spent taking care of the impression that we are leaving on the world. We live in a world of complaining and throwing away things that don't work. Take a moment and fix something. Be the anti of what you dislike.
I am foolish and silly. I get things wrong more than I get them right. I want to do better and I want you to do better too. After all we live in this same place and connected in so may ways.
If you are a blogger I challenge you to blog your best self. Blog the person that your wife, children, and parents would be proud of. Blog in a way that will make the world better, create something wonderful, and send someone a smile. Today anyone can publish their work online. Look around and you will see in less than five seconds that many people are not putting forth the best of themselves.
If you are a teacher, be the person you want your students to become.
Husbands, embrace the one chore you hate, learn to love it, do it with passion, and then see what happens.
You get the idea.
"Blog Your Best Self" is a wake up call to me and you. A call to create more than you consume. A call to be positive when being negative can be more lucrative. I dare you to share this with your online learning community. Start a movement. Better yet, start a revolution.
