Clever Idea - OH! What a Feeling!

Deciding is Not Easy - Not Deciding is Harder Still

Clever Idea

You may have a favorite activity, something that you really like to do, more so than any other, for example, if you supplied me with DVD's and time, and I'd watch just about every movie out. What's the problem with that? Oh my gosh, you quickly can see that such an activity isn't healthy if carried to the extreme, is it? But if an activity is fun, and even at the extremes isn't too unhealthy, then why not invest in it. Sure, why not exercise your "want to" a little? If you enjoy it, it brings relaxation to you, can you honestly say that in your life, you couldn't use a little of that? But what's so cool about this thought is taking what you genuinely love and turning that into something that brings you a little residual return. Clever idea, isn't it? Run a Blingo search on Jeff Bezos, the story will reveal to you a man who being brilliant chose the thing he was passionate about and went with it. Clever idea, yes it certainly is, and it works, sometimes, your favorite activity becomes your way of making your life become something remarkable!

The expansion idea is truly fun, like the movie "Pay It Forward," it has this wonderful positive ring to it. But you turn the corner and the warm and friendly loses ground to the reality based theory that life does have downsides, know them, anticipate them, and you won't get surprised by them. Clever idea isn't it? Football coaches, in fact, almost all sports coaches, and success coaches, as well as, business coaches, explain to us that being blissfully unaware of your weaknesses, leaves your enemy knowing how to distract you, move you aside, and in short time, win over the battle. Such is war, and simply reading Sun Tzu "The Art of War," does not adequately prepare an individual for those first precious months fresh out of high school; but we can help them. We can share with them about anticipating the potential failure points and then making a way to get past them, called contingency planning; this is one of the primary keys in project think.

If you make decisions then this kind of clear cut back and forth, is something you don't get to see much, do you? We don't often get to hold focus clearly, what do we like, really like, not playing around with the hours trading them away for bucks, or whatever else we believe makes the trade equal; no if we could hold focus clearly, we'd cut through it, and get to what is real. Clever idea, isn't it? Compare what is so much fun, what you love to do, bowling perhaps, with what is the downside; opening a place to does bowling stuff; business, taxes, salaries, insurance and headaches; now, make the comparison- you might be surprised. It's a safe bet that Jeff Bezos was, who is to say that in finding your passion, discovering what you love to do, there isn't that sort of entrepreneurial wonder inside of you? Clever idea, isn't it?

    Valid points but I'm not giving up my movies or books or TV or well you get my drift. I'm just a bad girl!

    Well yesterday I decided to play Pogo half the day, my head was about to explode from writing, thinking and planning. So I enjoyed my decision. :-)
