Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. —Saint Francis of Assisi
The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness. —Pope Benedict XVI
I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on, nothing ever did unless I caused it. —Charles Bukowski
Above: Though Atlas may shrug, we must soldier on.
Dreams demand action.
Dust settles. Humans should not.
Go! Seize this moment.
Per my about page, White Noise is a work of experimentation. I view it as a sort of thinking aloud, a stress testing of my nascent ideas. Through it, I hope to sharpen my opinions against the whetstone of other people’s feedback, commentary, and input.
If you want to discuss any of the ideas or musings mentioned above or have any books, papers, or links that you think would be interesting to share on a future edition of White Noise, please reach out to me by replying to this email or following me on Twitter X.
With sincere gratitude,
Tom
It's true. You have to make things happen in life. I especially enjoyed the Charles Bukowski quote. Great post, Tom.
