Building up, encouraging and fortifying those with the unabashed dedication to their craft, that is the essential work of this Guide. They encounter enough resistence in the world as it is, as do all that venture on the unexpected path. To direct those so desiring to find them, in order that we as a community might foster their growth - that is one purpose of this Guide.
Those caring most do us best. And no help outside of our own community can reasonably be expected to consider the well being of our loved ones so much as those closest to us, and no outside influence is directed to effecting the independence of our Artisans. That is a work we collectively achieve ourselves, and here their Hybris becomes our own.
Those going the extra miles, enduring the hours, perfecting their craft - these we must encourage if we hope to see such survive in the long run. They are the ones most likely to consider beyond themselves the benefit and well being of others in our community - these kind strengthen us. Within this Guide we discover them, and encourage them if we desire it.
Throughout these pages in coming months discover the Biographies of those making a difference throughout our community, those advancing their field, in turn advancing progress to the benefit of our people. In the meantime consider that the vast majority of businesses in this Guide already are exactly those kinds whose lives I seek to encourage. They have already given, already accomplished in some small way the feat, have taken up the task and seen it through. So the next time you consider going out, jump on the Guide - search what you're looking for in the top right corner of the Destiny (home) page. Discover something new.
I do honestly believe you will be better for the experience - the rest of us will be, too. Money spent here stays here - the resources you bring to the community circulate and flow amongst us all.
