There You Are!

The purpose and namesake of this blog are very solidly interconnected. Let me explain.

The name sake is from a quote in the business world of success. "Don't be the person who walks into a room and says 'Here I am.' Be the person who walks into a room and everyone turns and says 'There You Are.'"

It indicates that you should not have to announce yourself. If you are successful, people will seek you out on their own. If you feel you must push your presence on people, you are doing something wrong and you are not as successful as you think you are. "Here I am" indicates arrogance and egotism, both are unhealthy for complete success and leadership.

The purpose of this blog is going to be different then my other blogs. This one is going to be about that beautiful girl in the mirror whom I see almost every morning. I want to be like her because she dreams big and has great ideas for her life; she has interests that are intriguing and I want to be a part of those things that she participates in.

Fact is, sometimes we lose sight of our dreams and we need someone or something to remind us what they are or where we are going. This blog will discuss those dreams and reflect on progress towards them, changes that occur and why, and new dreams that appear as time progresses. This blog will continue to remind both my readers and myself that we need to continue to idolize that person in the mirror. And, if we lose our way, this blog will help us to find the mirror and say to that role model, "There You Are! I found you!"

Even if your dreams are unrealistic at times, you still have to have dreams to be successful. You must have dreams to live a healthy and long life. Greet your reflection every morning and say, "There You Are!" and you may just recall those dreams and how to get to them. Remind yourself constantly what you are reaching for and what your end goals consist of; you can't reach them if you can't see them.
