Of a welcome and a polite urge

When I was first asked if i were into blogging some years back when it was a catching-on trend, I gave a neutral reply saying that blogs did not show forth proper use of English and was merely a diary or journal of someone pouring out their negativities...I was of such ignorance back then.

Well thank God I am more mature these days. But I did not mention the short anecdote above for dramatic purposes. It is a sign or rather an introduction (which I hope won't be forgotten) to my future posts in this blog.

My dear fellow readers, this is my blog but I would not like to attribute it to my name. But rather let it be that instrument which serves to inspire all its readers.

Does that mean that I think I am worthy of inspiring others? Hopefully it did not come off that way for I see it rather differently. As you can see from the first paragraph up there, I too am a rather fallible human being and if there is anything in which I would take pride in (God forbid), it would be that posture of learning which I am trying to cultivate in myself.

I have this feeling that when a person undergoes certain trials or challenges, there is always something to take out of it, hence it is ever so important to have a posture of learning within us so we can take the most out of our everyday lives.

And would it be so wrong for those lessons to serve as inspirations to others?

Therefore, here is my solemn vow to you that this blog is where I shall translate my life's lessons (be they from trials or moments of epiphanies) into becoming an inspiration to all those who set their eyes here...or at least this is me trying.

However, I also must note that I hope there are others like me who blog to inspire and for those of you who think you can't...you can.

Inspiration does not linger on the elite or downtrodden but rather in all of our hearts when we listen to it.

Congrats on your first blog! And it's nice that you share your life experiences with others that they may take with them something meaningful from it. I think that itself is a kind of service.

Thanks! My goals for these are fulfilled then if it acts as a service to others =)
