Business

By Daton Caedea

Hello again and thanks for dropping in, it's good to see you. Now, where was I. That's right...ACTION. That's the word, the only word really, when it comes to stop thinking about it and do it. That's easy for you to say I hear you politely tell me. How do you expect me to do that!

Well straight off, I am the world's foremost authority when it comes to 'thinking about it' with absolute zero action. I spent years perfecting and nurturing it. If money was to made from this activity of "inactivity" I would be a zillionaire. It's so easy just to go off to some comfort zone and 'clock out' the real world.

Time enough though, when I clock back in to complain about my lot. You know, how hard done by I am and how life is so unfair. Why do I get all the bad luck and so on. It was only when my ship of life was in danger of sinking on a reef that serious action had to be taken. Man those pumps!

It doesn't take much to redirect your awareness from hibernation to awake. Especially when things go pear shaped. It's too easy to travel through one's life on a weekly/monthly basis, getting paid for a job that just about gets you through. What troubled me in particular was what was waiting for me nearer the time when you are told that you have to retire. What then?!!

All I did was float through the days to see my way through to the end of the week and payday. I negotiate my way home and carry on, with nothing. Then, at the end of my shift pattern, 3 days off,and...doing nothing. But I could always escape into the mystic world of media piped to me via the TV and stay comatosed.

Every time I think of this it scares me. I'm not just saying that. I don't want to be like the rest of this world where you are expected to go to work, get paid a bit of money and repeat. For the rest of your life. No thank you. I want a life. I WANT A LIFE! A life with a present and a future. Work on the present, the future will follow. Do it right and the life gets even better.

So, as aforementioned, it will be my quest (and pleasure) to explore the countless ways that we can do something and make something, of our lives. Primarily, this will be via the powerful device you have at your fingertips. You think I'm going to say your computer and the net, don't you clever clogs. You are half right. By far the most powerful, most formidable gizmo you have in the 'ol toolbox...is your brain.

So, off we go. You can do it. I repeat, you can do it! If they can do it, you can do it. You are doing it now by reading this. In some small way it will lead to bigger things.

Hang in there,see you next time.
