Everything has a beginning

  My name is Darryl Learie, I am a 40 years-old.

  I have a Guinness World Record, and 3 other world records with The Book of Alternative Records, and have been published in 2 books (one of which was the "Ripley's Believe It or Not - Download the weird,"

9th annual Hard Cover (page 160).

  I live on disability for Chronic Depression, Generalized Anxiety, and Paranoia. I also have Attention Deficit Disorder.  It's also fair to say that I suffer from a socially related anxiety and paranoia.

  I also live with my physically disabled wife, Deb of 6 years within the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

  For sometime now, I have been wanting to spread truly meaningful and impacting messages for the betterment of humanity on my YouTube channel which boasts 1,045,000 views. 

  I decided to blog when I realized that reciting from a written script for YouTube videos was too complex and difficult. 

  And that is where the beauty of the published word comes in - it is the product of my thoughts finalized without any need for auricle or visual presentational skills.

  I know I can contribute some measure of wisdom from my own life experience when it comes to issues concerning mental illness, and bullying, and what the Finnish call,'Sisu' (To win when all the odds are stacked against you).

  Of course the older I get the more aware I am that I am not as intelligent as I once thought I was. And there is far more that I don't know than I do know. Not to mention I have very real limitations - what is easy for most people is not so easy for me.

  But I believe the unexamined life is not worth living, so I must continually examine my own life, and what lessons, and success's I can share from it for the benefit of others. 

  I must believe that my life holds a greater purpose, and that my trials and tribulations were not purely accidental and pointless but that they were lessons towards my evolution as a person.

  My purpose in this life is the same as anyone else - it is to help others. For a life served for others is the only life worth living.

  So I started this blog, my writing is on and off - sometimes I produce a well written piece, and other times my writing is questionable. I don't have all the answers, and my beliefs, ideologies, and perspective are always apt to change.But I must try.

  I hope you find purpose in my new blog - Darryl Learie. 

  Everything has a beginning.
