great inspiration
journal-entryThere is no reason I can't imagine that all the incredible figures I learn about are my personal mentors.
People like Estee, and Paul, and Peter, guiding me, and speaking to me directly, and encouraging me to reach my full potential. I can imagine that they, too, believe in me. They can be my role models, even if only in spirit. That is the power of the written word.
Through learning about the wisdom they have to impart, one thing becomes crystal clear: studying the lives of the great emboldens you to be great yourself and is one of the greatest tools in achieving greatness.
I must continue to seek out inspirational people, both those who are tangible and those who are not.
I adore, and must hold onto, those who are similarly earnest. They are my favourite kinds of people: the nerds of the world. I will build my own army of nerds to call upon.
That is a glorious thought. Goodnight.
