When I first thought about starting a blog, my rational mind instantly rejected the idea. After all, blogs have been around for years now and you can find a blog about literally anything. What could I contribute to the blogosphere?
What did I have to say that hadn’t already been said? But you know what. I realized something back then. I realized I do have something to add to all the noise. There are things I’ve discovered in my life that would be new to you and that could even help you. The fact of the matter is that there is no one else on the planet that has seen the world through my lens. And the same goes for you.
We all have our own perspective. We all have truths we have discovered in our lives that can help others find direction and purpose in theirs.
Sharing my unique perspective to help others was the original purpose of this blog and I want to get back to that.
Over these next two blog posts I will share a few simple truths I have discovered so far in my life. Call them motivational. Call them crazy. Call them what you want. But these are the things I know for sure and with these truths I have been able to find a direction to my life.
I hope that with these two posts I can provide a glimpse into the lens from which I see the world and perhaps inspire some small change in your life. Enjoy.
14 Truths for Mindful Twenty Somethings:
- You will find out what really matters to you if you can create space away from the things that don’t matter at all.

- You can carve out a place in this world for your idea. It just takes action, execution and perseverance.
