Your famous bro brought home an audio book(let) the other day by Stephen Covey, he of “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” fame. It was on creating a personal mission statement.

In working on my own PMS , I realized that it’s basically rendering what can be a crazy, overloaded life down to its base metal and then looking closely at what that core of you is made of. You can lose it in the chaos that is the modern world. Too much of our time is spent trying to get things done and too little asking ourselves why we are doing them.

4 years ago, I began blogging personal thoughts and inspirational tidbits I had learned as a pastor — some were hard lessons. I was a terrible blogger in the sense that I never really understood how to network all that well. But then, I started getting some people who were able to find some solutions for what they were going through on my blog. Eventually, it sort of turned into a personal development blog.

All fine and good, right? Well, for me, I began writing what I thought would make people happy. I recently came to have to look at myself and ask why I had started the blog in the first place. To make it as authentic and real is what attracted readers in the first place.

The 31 days of simplified social media (i will see what this is all about) sounds interesting. Thanks for posting!
