It's probably not too surprising that as a blogger, I've also had both opportunity and interest in perusing other blogs. To my delight, there are so many really fantastic blogs out there! For instance, I've been reading every now and again, this blog by Scott H. Young and always thoroughly enjoyed being re-energized by his latest thought pieces on productivity.
Yet like an explorer who went out and only reached the tip of the iceberg, I had no idea the vastness of resources that lay at my fingertips simply by going into one of his hypertexts. Then, truly like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole and then going off on one adventure after another, I discovered author after author all detailing their wonderful insights to accessing a better life. So enthralled was I that I spent the last two hours hop-scotching from one author to another. What particularly amused me was how they are all linked to each other and would often leave comments and such on each other's blogs. While I would like nothing better than to join this "fellowship of the holy life hackers" I am as yet still a humble padawan and sideline observer. Still, when I was reading these fantastic and inspiring articles, so many thoughts were being whipped up in my head and the frenzy of possibilities absolutely flooded my brain. I feel as if I've had an evening of stimulating conversations not just with one person, but with multiple personalities and almost seamlessly at that.
In any case, it's difficult, I think, in my current state of heightened excitement, to really calmly and effectively reflect on everything that I've either learned today or been reminded of (and we need so many reminders in life, to gently nudge us to remember lessons that we've already learned in the past). And to be honest, I don't think I could do justice to any one author either by my attempts of recapitulations. You can just read them for yourself.
Here are a couple that I particularly enjoyed:
Schaefer's Blog
The Growing Life
These two started off a firecracker of a domino effect. And at 1:34 AM in the morning, I've probably bit off more than I could chew. But I know too that I've been battling a funk for some time now and today, tonight, I feel a glimmer of radiance that promises a sure way out. As always of course, these blogs can only show me the door, but I must be the one to walk through it.
God willing, I think I will do just that!
