Growing Vision

Start Good. What does that mean? Many titles came across my mind when I started forming my thoughts on this blog. Looking for some clear vision, a path which I could march myself and others through, I wrote out a few names in my journal and tossed most out. As I brainstormed, I knew that "good" had to be a part of the title. It is the single word that defines what everyone is trying to achieve on some level. Something that I want to share and can see that others wish to share also. Unfortunately, the words surrounding "good" were thought up with much less confidence.

At a certain point, being stuck on a name is not a good excuse for leaving an idea as just an idea. So with burning confidence and determination I created this blogger account. Luckily, the mind is always working in the background, ready to give a spark of inspiration at the right moment: Start Good popped up as soon as I created this Blogger account.

So why Start Good? It works on with my mission on so many levels. I want this place to be a blog that people can start their day in a good way. A blog that inspires people to create something good or to share some good with another. A place to learn, to lift and make life a little better and more important.

How do I plan to do that? Well I plan to do that with a lot of help. Everyone has something valuable to share. Friends, parents, professors, mentors and others. I have a story, you have a story, we all have a story. How many people know yours and whose do you know? Each person is a bottle, constantly being shaken by life and ready to explode with knowledge and experience. The people around me are an untapped resource that I hope will aid me to fill this site.

Beyond this, there are vast numbers of of websites with information, interesting news, advice and the like, of which provide more value than I could ever in my lifetime. However, I see that the size of the internet has created a double-edged sword. The limitless information is, unfortunately, impossible for all but the most determined to sift through. I hope that I and others can become that filter.

In the end, I hope to create a blog, a dialog, a meeting place; somewhere that people can come for something to inform them and inspire them. A place of growth, compassion, information, humanity and laughter.

Start Good. This is my Start.
