I’ve been creating a lot of blogs and sites lately…with different purposes. Here’s a quick list.
Let’s See If This Works (personal blog)
250k in 250days Challenge (coming soon)
Let me get directly to it:
Just a few days ago, a friend asked me quite directly, “What’s your religion?” (quickly follow by whether or not I believed in God). I guess, it’s kinda hard to answer a question like that, when you have no clue yourself. On my facebook profile, I have written “Optimistic agnostic, with a personal god.” And most people have no clue what that means.
So let’s divide this question:
Do I have faith in things that aren’t proven by science? YES
Do I think God exists or could exist? YES
Do I believe in praying? NO
Do I think being religious somehow makes you a better person? NO
Do I believe in Heaven and Hell? Maybe
Do I believe in Reincarnation? Maybe
Do I believe in Life (or the continued existence of the “Soul“) after Death? Maybe
Do I believe we should enjoy the time we have, live a life we can be proud of, and not worry about whatever may or may not be? Definitely
Does that mean, that I think people shouldn’t talk, think, discuss, or argue about this? Definitely not.
I love philosophy, and I love thinking (I quite literally, love thinking). But I think when it comes to religion, god, atheism, etc. People should leave it to personal preference (as long as it’s not hurting anybody else).
Bottom line – be a good person, work hard, help people if possible, and live a good life. (I do think all religions are based around that).

So let’s start this blog – with an explanation of the unusual title: “Let’s See If This Works”
I know it sounds more like someone testing something. But it is also a good example of a behavior that I display a lot – uncertainty.
I have never really been certain about a lot in life – regarding all kinds of small things. May it be doing some small chore that I haven’t done before, telling someone a story and some particular detail, or asking someone to get something done.
I am always amazed by seeing people say things with such certainty…with such confidence; people who just seem to know everything there is to know and know how to do things right. I guess it’s partly self-confidence, but it’s a lot more than that. It’s being knowledgeable, intelligent, and a good amount of intuition/instinct combined with the confidence to follow through.
But…I started talking about this, because even though I’m unsure about a lot of things in life – there’s only one thing, I have always been sure of (ever since I can remember at least):
It is the fact that I want to start a business of my own.
A business that is big (nationwide/international), good (both quality/employee treatment-wise and moral/ethics wise), helpful (something that helps people), generous (charitable), and of course profitable (but to be honest that’s not a big motivator). It’s not so much an urge, a desire, a want or a dream, but rather the knowledge that this is what I’ll do – no doubt.
While this may sound like a childish dream to many of you reading this , and I know I haven’t done my best explaining it – but it’s not. That much I am sure of (and like I said, there’s not much I’m sure of).
(I don’t know, but have any of you known something with just complete and utter certainty? If not, It’s a feeling you must experience!) (I also want to add, this is not exactly leaving everything to destiny. It’s a lot different as instead you will do everything possible to realize this “dream” and be prepared for it – and you will also not let any obstacles stop you…it’s kind of exhilarating, once an obstacle shows up!)
How will this happen? When will this happen? Well that’s what I don’t know. To be clear, I already have a business idea/concept/plan that I REALLY want to start – I have a lot of it planned out…I love the idea and how I can expand on it…, and the creative potential once I start it, I think is unlimited. (This is another part of my behavior that you will soon see – I add “I think” wherever I can)
- What is the business? Well I’ll explain that in another post.
- When will I start it? Well that’s part of the fun journey…but hopefully in the next 2 years (in other words, before I graduate from college).
- How will I start it? I have a couple of paths that I have in mind, but I’m unsure which one I should seek. Well it’s not so much as uncertainty that is keeping me here, but it’s more of a combination of laziness and fear – fear of not succeeding once I take the plunge. (I actually found this out, reading The Alchemist. Which while we are off topic is a good book. But I actually liked the 3-4 page letter in the start by the author a bit more than the book. Oh, and please leave comments regarding any of this!).
- What path will I choose? In the next few weeks, hopefully, I’ll decide. One way is pretty boring, but the “right” way to do it, the other way is a bit more exciting and self-promoting – a more “unique” way to do it – and of course theres many other alternative ways.
So to sum up, this post was probably a complete waste of your time (seeing how it was all about me, me, ME), unless of course, you are going through the same kind of process as I am (or have the same kind of certainty about something). However, I promise you that the next post will definitely be a lot more interesting – so please keep reading!
Some topics of interest to comment on (or anything else you want to): Do you have a sense of absolute certainty and clarity about something in life? Something you know will just happen?
This is I guess my first “real” blog. I hope to make it interesting, personal and something worth your time
