The Revolution Begins…

I’ve finally done it! After holding out for months and coming up with all kinds of justifications why I shouldn’t enter the world of blogging, I’ve finally taken the leap into the wild blue yonder. Ya, I know what you’re thinking right now, “Does everybody who starts a blog have to begin with a post like this?” Trust me, the same thought has run through my head as I’ve perused other valuable blogs over the past several months.
Nevertheless, here I am posting my obligatory “hey look at me, I’m a noob” blog for the world to see. Call me asinine, but I felt a transition from the world of all-to-safe, immemorable introspection to the realm of immortalized insight we call the “Blogosphere”, to be a necessary evil. This proverbial “first post” serves as my inaugural entrance into the world of blogging (ironically, only hours before our next president makes an entrance of his own).
Don’t let me confuse you, I’m not arrogant enough to imagine that the world waits with bated breath for this post. However, I will commemorate this moment for my own benefit as a leader and therefore—lifelong learner.
The moment I stop learning is the moment I stop leading.
So my hope is that some of you have stumbled upon this blog, not so my ego can be uplifted, but so that your hearts and minds may be encouraged. Perhaps you live by a similar code of continual learning. My perspective may be small in comparison to the great men and women we look to. Yet, what I have, I will give. As we dive into Re(love)utionary Reflections, we’ll look at topics and insights central to leadership, relationship, humanity, and life. In the months and years to come, I look to contribute faith, hope, and love to a global community of individuals searching for just that.
So I guess I better shut up and get started huh?
