Eagles Inspire Only So Much [and updates]

"You can't soar like an eagle if you still scratch with the turkeys."

Eagles soar high and build their nest at an altitude where no other bird flies. Inspiring huh? But I feel this illustration only demonstrates ambition. The way I see it, eagles don't lead anybody. When they are seen, people are inspired yes, but eagles are unapproachable. That's a horribly misguided way to lead.



Lately, I've been really ON. It's pretty evident with this post being so soon after the last. What can I say, I'm inspired=D! But with so much ambition, I'm keeping an eye on pride. I won't be shy about it, I do want to become a leader in certain situations I am and will be in. I want to inspire and be a respectable man, yet something in me longs for the soft relationships that seems to pervade conventional leaders.

Why am I excited? Because I've been having marked progress in areas of my life that I recently took the initiative to define. It's a skill I believe I'm being led to learn. And to a certain extent, it is an answer to my prayer to take responsibility and be disciplined in my own life.

There are three things I've been working on:
  1. Increasing my health sciences knowledge
  2. Equipping myself with productivity and business tools (for my future secret venture)
  3. Personal development
That's my name! Taken at a gift shop at Niagara Falls in Nov.
