A dad's advice to himself and his kids.

Why did I start this blog?

Why did make it easy for anyone that was looking for me to find it, putting rants, thoughts, goals, failures, successes on the cloud of the internet?

Because I want the ball.

Because I want to be held accountable for who I say I am.

Because I want to live a transparent and congruent life.

Because going to the gym at 6 every morning is HARD work, and I want to have people ask me “hey, you make it to the gym?”  (I have, thanks, and it seems that exercise is now a daily habit.)

Think about this:  If someone that DIDN’T LIKE YOU could peer into your life and probe you for weaknesses, would you go about your business any differently?   Would you maybe make sure that you are who you say you are?   If the Paparazzi was ready to snap a shot, ready to take you down, would you leave the house looking like the star that you are?

Hell yes you would.

And that’s why I put this out there.  I know that about 100 people read this every day via my WP stats.  And I’m glad for that–I’m glad to see you all…because even though I don’t know who you are, the fact that people read this thing keeps me accountable.

And being held accountable is something that makes me operate on a higher and better level, so even the (hopefully few) people that consider themselves my enemy…can help benefit me.
