I am history, so are you

We all have history, our lives are books of history to be lived on a day to day bases. You are living documents of the now, and yesterday is your history, upon, which you will reflect one day and hopefully past on to those you love. You are history in process, you are unfolding events, which you will actively participate in; in one form or another. In these writings I wish to share with you my personal "history", that, which is unique to me and that, which many walked through with me.

Making history

Your great-grandfather, my dad would always tell me that history belongs to the winners in life, they are the ones who get to write the history books. I believe this to be true for the most part, yet there is an element of history, especially when it occurs in "your time" that allows you to write history yourself. It allows you to take a stand, to step up, voice your opposition or your compliance with a situation or event. Never remain part of the "silent majority", always do something, always try to make it better. Never lose heart, never give up, that is what makes a winner, their ability to hang in there, to have faith and belief that their one life can make a difference for all lives. Throughout history it has always been the individual who has had courage and conviction that has made history. The trick is passion, be passionate in all you do, yet always remember the word passion should never be separated from the word compassion. Keep the "fire in your belly", let your light shine, but never let the fire in your belly cause another indigestion, nor blow out any other's candle in a dim effort to make yourself shine brighter, you won't.

Get out there and make history... or at least try
