As I write this, on June 27th (almost a full month after I wrote this post that was supposed to officially kick this site off) I can honestly say that I don’t know exactly how to define what this site is about or what I hope it will evolve into.
And I’m okay with that.
At least, I’m okay with it enough to stop using my lack of a clear plan as legitimate reason to procrastinate launching this site. I turn in 30 in less than three weeks. There is no more time to waste. It’s go time.
Here is what I think the content here at Primility.com will be: an evolving journey about how we can all improve our ourselves and increase our happiness, bit by bit, by adding more balance to our lives, which is the essence of the concept of primility.
Specifically, the term primility integrates the seemingly opposing forces of pride and humility into one. More generally, it is a metaphor for balance, the kind of balance that I have always sought in my life and never really achieved to any level of satisfaction.
If you can take a humble approach to being prideful in everything you do while simultaneously being prideful about always exhibiting humility, well it stands to reason that you can pretty do anything.
I want to learn how to harness this level of balance on a daily basis, and I know that by writing about my journey and encouraging you to share your stories, it will help me get where I want to be and help you to get there too. Even if our destinations are different, which they probably are, there are common elements of our journeys that will be the same.
Let’s take pride in the power of our experience to educate others and have the humility to understand that we can learn from what others share.
Primility.
It’s time now to start the journey…and there isn’t any reason to look back.
