I’ve been missing having a home in the Internet. I finally decided to get the blog rolling despite its obvious unpolished condition. So, please forgive me the dust around, and welcome!
The fact is that I’ve been a perfectionist for quite some time now. Well, I guess I still am – the difference is that I used to be proud of it.
The problem with being a perfectionist is that you don’t try out a lot of new things. And it isn’t hard to imagine why: when you have to meet so many self-imposed high standards, you just go back and do the same old stuff over and over again – the stuff you know you can meet those standards. Bad.
Much more productive than being stuck planning a perfect start is just starting. Start having the attitude to improve continuously. Don’t worry about where you are now. All you have to do is commit yourself to improve a little bit every day. And it’s exactly in this spirit that I now start this blog.
Honestly, I don’t know what pathways this blog will end up exploring. Currently, it is only an outlet for ideas about personal development, mind mapping and many other loosely-related topics. But defining the topics accurately is not important for me right now. I’m sure the blog’s identity will emerge soon enough (and until that happens nobody will be reading anyway). For now, the important thing is to start. Standing still waiting for inspiration didn’t work much so far.
Movement creates inspiration, not the other way around.

Well, there you have it…
Goodonya!!!
Great, it’s easy to shot having a target!
I have several suggestions but this margin is too short…
Great, the most imortant thing is to start…
Luciano, BTW, are you a mathematician?
Hi Olejorik,
Although I am not a mathematician by profession, I do love math as a hobby, indeed.
Your question is very intriguing – Is there anything in the website that suggests this passion of mine?
It’s funny, Luciano, as I’m the exact opposite. I get caught up in a whirlwind of enthusiasm and throw myself in at the deep end, not knowing whether I can swim or not! I’ve just started a new blog called Lives Less Ordinary, and for this blog I decided I would plan before starting. After pages and pages of brainstorming in my notebook, I finally decided to get rid of the notebook and just start. I am so enjoying my new blog, and I’m leaving myself completely open to posting about anything that takes my fancy. It’s wonderfully liberating! I figure that the blog’s ‘identity’ will form naturally as the content continues to accrue. I really like the posts that you have up on your blog so far, and it already seems to me to have a fully formed identity. Well done, and keep up the good work!!
