Ever feel like you are shouting into the darkness? That you don’t hear anything in return and you think that matters?

I feel like I’m shouting into the darkness on the web site. I’ve done this for over a year now and the numbers just keep going down.

Maybe not many people give a shit about making themselves better. I think I’m learning that the hard way.

Ever feel like you are the only one among your group of friends that has actually read a non-fiction book since school? Me too.

What I’m learning here, the hard way (again), is that it doesn’t matter.

If you shout into the darkness just because you want to hear you voice echoed back, what’s that make you? Something I don’t think I want to be.

I want to help people. I want to make the world a better place. I want to be a good Christian, Husband, Dad, Man, Citizen, Friend, and Human Being.

All of that has me shouting into the darkness to help others. If just one person is hearing me. If just one person is being made better by what I’m doing… then it should be worth it.

That humility pill gets hard to swallow sometimes. So here I am. Standing bloodied and battered, but still standing.

I will continue on with making myself better so that I can help the people around me and make the world a better place.

And if I have to shout into the darkness with no voice returning, then so be it.
