Journey To SourceA Story by Austin RealeIf my bio sparked an interest in you to know more about me and my interpretations of my life experiences as to why I think I'm here, this is worth a few minutes of your time.. Inspiration&Information
I try to be as true in my writing as Ralph Waldo Emerson was in his. I have always known that I am an intricate writer, but until I was blessed to have my path cross with RWE's, I was a shell of my author-self. I admire that last sentence for two reasons. The fact that when Emerson crosses one's path it is considered to be a "blessing" is in itself a complement in the highest order. He dug into and valued Truth, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Observation so much, that his thoughts and words became a blessing to all persons with a well developed enough intellect and understanding of the world to be able to decipher his teachings. How inspiring is that? To become a blessing, a saving grace, in any situation, is a most admirable feature. The truth that we can become a blessing to our fellow man is astonishing to think about. Our words, written or spoken, have more power wrapped in them then we can comprehend. Through imaginary stories, advice, guidance, or just describing our experiences and observations, while speaking from our hearts, we can be the flint to spark one of our companions to accomplish the next huge shift in the world. What if all that spurred great people like Emerson or Edison was a few heartfelt words? Any one of us can deliver some heartfelt words. A lesson one of the greatest speakers of all time, Jim Rohn, taught me was this; Welcome every human interaction, you never know, which one, is going to get it all going for you... Secondly, I admire how His, and our own if we wish, inspirations can live on after we perish. I was compelled to write that before I read RWE, "I was a shell of my author self". To me this is miraculous. I love and cherish the fact that we humans can build on each other's discoveries and thoughts. How many thousands or millions of people have 'found themselves', or have better knowledge of self, therefore a better life, from reading some of Emerson's work? It's funny that we are just, led to the things that we should see, to become the things that we should be. Essentially we are all the same, but in a more refined sense, we are all different; each of us with our own set of things we cherish, desire, and for some strange reason, are compelled to go after. In my soul's unique set of ingredients, leading, motivating, inspiring, and sparking others to achieve their greatness is head of the list. That is why I'm drawn, attracted to, great people like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, Tony Robbins, Will Smith, Oprah, and many others.. They've sparked and awoke the heart in my chest the way I long to do for people today. The ultimate goal in any of our lives is longevity. "We all have to go, but who wants to be forgotten?". RWE has imprinted his name and teachings on the hearts of the wise for eternity, achieving the most idolized accomplishment and source of positive karma one can capture. Don't we all want to pass on from this world knowing that our lives will inspire people to righteousness, greatness, and in the most important sense, more inspiration in the future? Everyday for the rest of time, someone around the world will get inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson. We must consider this to be the one, or at least one of the most incredible and desirable situations we can strive for. That's the definition of ideas living on... I respect and salute you Mr. Emerson. I am indebted to and must repay you for the gift you have given me. It seems, for many more than two reasons (which we won't get into here, haha), that the only way I can repay you is to do and accomplish the ideals that I have mentioned here.
Hopefully I have already started... From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I believe in Inspiration & Information Love
