What makes one authoritative? I just recently read a page on Copyblogger about building online authority for copy-writers and marketing/development "big-wigs", and the author was giving 10 essential tips to establish your own authority.
A brief synopsis is that you don't want to sell your self short. Be confident, be professional, and give people what the want, in a specific fashion, not being too general.
But one thing that really stuck out to me, is to make yourself so valuable that no one else can do what you do. You are the one to go to in your field.
For an example: Imagine I am a graphics designer that provides logos and advertisement material Christian ministries that want to convey their ministry's aim, motto, and mission all in a simple graphic. Well there are tons of graphics designers out there who can do just that.
However, I would be valuable because I deliver to a specific market: Christian ministries. I'm also unique because I am a Christian missionary myself, so I have first hand experience in reaching out to a dark world, which in reality is what these ministries are trying to accomplish, so my personal feeling and experience plays in the emotions needed to design such a piece of art.
Just something to think on.

Why Now?
Why do I start a blog now? Why do I even start a blog?
Two questions I am wondering as I am building this blog. Apparently, journalism and writing is a good way to express built up thoughts, ideas, and concepts. As a thinker, when I read something in my devotions, or discover something new while working, I tend to allow my mind to contemplate the possibilities of what this thought or discovery could do, but when I don't write it down, for some reason I loose that thought, and can't remember it. However, if I write the thought out, I am more likely to remember it, even without ever reading what I wrote.
But, for your benefit, I intend to write these things out so that you and others may enjoy my thoughts. I do not wish for you to idolize me with my thinking and writing, I only wish for people to see the way I think, and hopefully glean something valuable from the products of my thought.
May God bless you, and keep you, may He make His face to Shine upon you.
