So let's be clear, I'm not aiming for notoriety. I'm not looking to be famous or praised for my high philosophical ideals. Instead, I'm looking to get a handle on my life. This blog will serve as a Treatise For Happiness, a baseline and measure of my source of satisfaction while wandering this world.
Let's face it; everyone struggles in life. Whether it be our continued pursuit of happiness, or our ever-expanding goal for success, we never seem to find that perfect balance in life on all fronts. Sure, some find satisfaction in theology, but sometimes miss out on adventure. Some find happiness in their health, but miss out on meaningful community and relationships. Some people are highly social, but miss out on the beauty of success. And yet I've never met anyone who has balanced all aspects of life: Work, Family, Body, Spirit, and Mind.
There are about 350 ways to describe balance in life (btw, that number is completely made up). I describe it by the 5 categories above. Each has a place in our lives and must be balanced, although balance may not be equality in terms of time or effort. This is what I hope to find by journal-ling this adventure. I hope to see all these things come to a place of balance where I'm at peace with life; A place where I can be satisfied when I wake up and know I have accomplished the things I desired while still making enough of an impact on the world.
So as I develop this treatise, I hope to find people along side me. I hope to provide some knowledge (or even better be given knowledge) that can be passed down through the ages. All mankind has something to offer in life. Hopefully, we can come together to determine the real meanings of the words Truth, Love, Hope, and Faith.
