Dread Pirate's Mission Statement

My passion is to motivate others and to do it any way I can. My goal is to inspire and motivate through my ebooks, my weblog, other websites, motivational essays, and motivational seminars. I want to bring positively charged motivation to those in need, as well as those who desire to elevate their status in life. I will do this either in person or through my motivational virtual presence. I will use the Internet, as well as any other means necessary, to reach out and touch a sailor of life who desires to read, or hear, my nautical style of motivation. I feel a need to help inspire those who have potential, but do not, or can not, see it within themselves.

I will do what it takes to keep my motivational work moving forward and my websites up and running. I will think of new and dynamic ways of funding my efforts. If I have to sell Dread Pirate merchandise, sell my ebooks to those that can afford them, (Any member of the US military, to include their spouse, will never have to pay for any of my works.) ask for donations, seek sponsors, or write in another genre, to keep my motivational efforts alive, I will do whatever it takes to, sail on... sail on!!!

The Dread Pirate’s Mantra

May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a shipmate to all in need

Slightly modified Buddhist Prayer
