Capturing your alpha. It’s much more than just the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the light of this website, to capture alpha is the action of discovering what it means to push yourself beyond your boundaries and perhaps work your way through beta, gamma, and eventually reach your omega – a point of radical self fulfilment. This begs the question, “should there be an omega and does this lead to a be-all/end-all?” Personally I say “Sure. Maybe. It depends”. In many aspects of my life I strive to reach self fulfillment, but not always complete satisfaction. Consider it the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner “theory”. When you finally obtain what it is that you have been questing for, then what’s the point of aspiring for greater? What else do you have left to chase?

Throughout the duration of x months, I will periodically use this platform as a method to track my latest thoughts, discoveries, and all things in-between to keep myself moving in the right direction. Weaving in and out of kappa, lambda, and mu with the intent of testing my limits both personally and professionally. One promise I can make is that readers will become familiar with my “Road Runners”… bumps, bruises, and successes included.

I say all that to say this: Cheers to capturing alpha and launching a fresh saga of self-betterment.
