On The 'Actualization' of Intellect, Knowledge, and Skill..(An Email to My Sister)

Intellect, knowledge, skill, it's all wasted talent, potential, and capability unless you can deliver it in such a way with passion and enough simplicity that people can understand your message and apply it in a way that helps to make their life better...

I would say as far as my psychology training and self-education in philosophy, that I have been doing much, much better this last year than about the 20 years previously, thanks mainly to the invention of the 'blog-site' which has turned thousands of 'wanna be writers' into actual writers -- many with a very good, solid message to convey -- who might not have otherwise been able to reach their desired target audience in the public domain.

I include myself in this latter group. Finding 'Blogger.com' was like hitting a gold mine for me -- it delivered to me an empty writing canvas waiting for me to 'paint my painting on it'. 'Google' has been the other gold mine for me as it continues to help deliver my philosophical message to all of these new, wild, exotic, and wonderful places.

Now it's just a matter of my continuing to push ahead and finding out just how far my writing can take me...no different than wherever your next 'empty painting canvas' takes you...

Everybody has their own unique talents; it's just a matter of each and everyone of us finding our own particular 'medium to deliver our own particular message'.

To be sure, it is encouraging to feel that i have seemed to have found mine...
