I don’t normally have audacity. It takes a great amount of thought, contemplation, analyzation before I am ready to pull the trigger on anything. Anything new in life is often inconvenient…

There’s a delay, from when I think of something to when I actually do it… and in that space of time where something is thought of, and little is done towards that idea, the doubts creep in. The fear begins…

The results speak for themselves. Elon Musk says something to the effect of we should always be thinking of our future self in 3-5 year terms because the life we live now is a direct result of the actions, habits and thoughts from 3-5 years ago.

In my pursuit of liberty, I will reflect on the actions taken today. Sometimes painful, sometimes reticent, yet there is always action taken, even if that “action” is inaction. We are still choosing to do nothing.

In each step, each action, each inaction, each choice it is helpful to remember that it is often inconvenient… that step towards the thought in our heart… it can be terrifying.

Yet, the longer we wait, the more terrifying it becomes… we become weaker when we don’t act immediately, when we don’t seize the opportunity our imagination gives us…

When we are weak, our desire to create is dampened, until, instead of shining bright, we become a lesser light, doomed to live in the shadows of those who have stepped in, and stepped up towards their potential, towards their souls longing, their lives reflecting the state of what could have been in our lives, and what still could be…if we embrace the inconvenience of the moment when our spirit leaps towards a higher purpose.

Choose the liberation that comes when we are taking the actions which support our souls purpose.

This was started as a podcast first… yet the inclination to write is natural for me, not necessarily easier, just more natural.

Part of my military training is writing loads of reports. For every “cool” activity I got to do (which really wasn’t all that great) there were always at least 3 separate reports for that activity… could be even more.

So writing comes naturally. Those reports, however, were structured. Regimented. They had to be clear, concise, easy to understand. They were simultaneously easy and difficult to write. Easy because there was no need for prose, different adjectives, and writing in complicated tenses other than past present or future was frowned upon.

Similarly, we couldn’t use complicated words as it might confuse those reading them.

I remember trying to use the word “nascent” in one of my reports. I was talking about a recent movement or ideology in Iraq, and I felt that word fit perfectly into the narrative I was trying to illustrate. Yet I received enough pushback from my higher-ups that I had to swap out “nascent” to “new”.

Same idea, yet somehow different… nascent felt right. It was at the beginning stages, it was emerging, the movement wasn’t “new” it was something more.

But for the sake of ease and clarity it was changed to new.

So that’s vastly different from this… I can write whatever I want.

Difficult, because I have to decide if it even makes sense. When I type it, it does, it will. But will I overthink? Will I experience writers block? Will the efforts be a waste of time or will it mean something?

So begins a transition, or evolution of a podcast to a blog. Or both. But much more…

The podcast, the blog will have one purpose: TO SET MEN & WOMEN FREE!

And maybe by men and women I just mean, to set me free.

Me as a member of humanity, where my sole purpose is liberty.

Or liberation.

What each soul longs for, yet seldom knows how or where to seek or find.

Liberty.
