What kind of man are you?

People ask me all the time where I get my ideas for posts.  “How do you find things to write about?” they are always asking me.  To be honest, I really don’t know how to avoid them.  If you fully engage in life, which I ultimately am trying to do (I’ m certainly not always successful), everywhere you look, there are things to write or talk about.  Everything that touches us in one way or another is the potential source for a topic.  Your work environment, your home life, and how you are struggling with this or that habit are all things that are both common to and unique for all of us.  Different things make us angry, sad, excited, or confused.  Writing is a way to not only share those with others, but to learn more about ourselves in the process.  And I find inspiration for writing in books and articles, from successful (and unsuccessful) people, and believe it or not, in movies and on television.
