Polymath Mission

I’ve always been interested in the word polymath and renaissance man. According to Merriam-Webster the definition of a Polymath is a person of great and varied learning. I’ve asked myself over the years what I felt that definition really meant to me, what does it mean to have varied learning and become the best version of yourself?  I believe learning is more than what your degrees dictate, what schools you have attended. Our beliefs, our personality, who we are as a person is shaped by what we experience. I believe that learning are these experiences. Pushing our boundaries and getting out of our comfort zone is, I believe, essential to learning and growth, both mentally and physically.

 “A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” One caveat to personal growth is that we can become so wrapped up in it that we exclude the one of the most important facets of it, other peoples experiences and what they can teach us. It’s easy to become self-centered in the world we live in today. I feel that when we open our eyes to the experiences beyond our self we can undoubtedly understand the world and our self that much more.

Beyond personal documentation, and to facilitate my own personal growth, the goal of this project is to try to facilitate growth in everyone. I plan to create a ever growing repository of stories from individuals from many communities and walks of life. Try to open doors to things that people are not familiar with by leading by example. Its an ever evolving goal & mission, no better time to start than right now. Never Stall, Always Change.
