reading

i like to read, but i don't take time to do it. my to-do list of books is always growing and never shrinking--because i add to it without subtracting from it. so, i wonder what strategy i need to adopt in order to check them off. i wonder what will motivate me. i know that i typically can't put a book down once i start it, but its the starting that isn't happening.
suggestions or ideas?
well, as with all good things, i guess i'll have to take the first step. i'll set a goal and i'll go for it, for to try and fail is better than to never have tried at all.

200

i'm so excited! today marks my 200th blog entry.
it's such a huge accomplishment to have the stick-with-it-ness to reach 200. i feel like a sitcom that reaches this status (that's almost 8 seasons--which is longer than i've blogged). but, when you make it past all the hype about the amazing, spectacular, collosal 200th episode, you might be disappointed. it just can't live up to the publicity.
so, i'll keep it simple. no hype, no fanfare, no expectations. for my 200th entry, i'll just say: i wonder what other things might be accomplished in my life if i invested in them instead of blogging?

greatness

great accomplishment deserves great reward.
great freedom requires great responsibility and has great consequence.
great people are merely those motivated to prioritize and pursue.
