What Direction to Go?
By Doug Clark
Head Writer - The Inspiration Engine
Do you know where you are going in life? It’s a simple question, but often it is a loaded one. At this particular moment in time, it’s hard to say where we are going as a country and a society. There are so many troubling issues and topics that we face, it’s hard to know what the future might bring. Some solace may come from knowing where you, the individual, are going?
Direction in life is what I’m talking about. Not just what job you want, or where you would like to live, but what do all those activities in your daily routine actually lead to something? To know what direction you are headed in, you need to know what your purpose is in life. Finding purpose can and is often a challenging and eye-opening evolution. If you are unsure, start with a simple test like the one provided by Psychology Today here.
It may seem trite, asking yourself questions like this, especially if you have devoted a large amount of time to some endeavor already. But if you find yourself unsure, maybe doubting your life’s path so far, or really need a jolt, Do Something Different! There’s always time left to try.
Thanks for reading.

Understanding Pandemics
Head Writer - The Inspiration Engine
With all that is going on with Covid 19, I thought it would be a good idea to help everyone out with some knowledge about pandemics in general. This article, Visualizing the History of Pandemics, is a great visual on how big some pandemics have been over the last 2000 years.
Please, practice physical and social distancing, wash your hands, and stay safe.
Thanks for reading.

This is the End of Doctor Who as we know it...
-Head writer, The Inspiration Engine
We have come to an end of an era!
one bad-ass you do not want to mess with, partly because of her gender. And no one I know of has suggested rebooting Aliens with Eric Ripley or worse yet making another Aliens movie in the same cinematic universe and just cloning the now dead character as a man, because 'it's about time' as it's been said for Doctor Who.

A Very Fine Old Battleship
-Head writer, The Inspiration Engine
Here's a great article by Geoffrey Morrison about an old Battleship. I love ships, but there's something slightly sad about this one. It's permanently landlocked. You'll see in the picture gallery that it will never sail again. There's something so confining about that. But the pictures are great.
Enjoy.
