Read at your own risk

I caught an impression, half an inkling it was, a little larger than a speck of thought.

No it was slightly bigger than a hunch, yes it must have been some ginormous idea, an astronomic epiphany maybe.

Okay, I exaggerate. My words were hitting the ceiling of the universe already. I have out-scaled the essence of measure itself.

I will be calm and remain so. I shall appeal to the quintessence of modesty now. Stay humble dear self.

In all honesty it would have been worth dismissing this thought in the first place. A fart could weigh more on a scale of sensibility. My mind could have been up to no good when I thought about it.

But the truth in all honesty is that I felt like I hit gold when it first came to me. And I felt my ego buffed in the afterthought. Yes it was certainly something of sorts that could as well amount to nothing.

I know I should probably stop swinging my psyche in opposing directions. I am fittingly aware of the effects of frictional thoughts. I should perhaps disclose this thought and leave the judgment of it to beings outside myself.

Therein lies the disappointment. I don’t remember the details of that thought. It was almost as if my mind spat it out the second it was spotted, refusing to be associated with anything that constituted its semblance.

Maybe it’ll come back in the next dream. Or the next fart, or the next spittle…who knows? And when it does, I’ll have the confidence to justify making you read all these words.

For now I've got nothing, and I’m not making any promises. Be kind and unread what I have written as true as they are. Let these words go to waste, make room for them in your trash can.

These words say a lot about me, I know. I stop some conversations as soon as I utter their opening lines. And it pisses people off sometimes. Yet I am not the one to apologize for who I am.

The only explanation to that is that some thoughts take flight before they crystallize in my head. They are short ropes that I have not found use for. My mind discards them but the trash can is somewhere in my head. And I think it mixes up with some pretty nice and beautiful thoughts I've had and messes them up in the process.

Why bother then? Why go all out and even write this and share it with people when most of the stuff I've written may not be shared with anyone ever... I should probably stop this right now...

Rude Awakening

What if civilization was once an idea, the most widespread idea with a lot of people making it work?

Here is what I learned over the weekend- that I am capable of starting up an idea that big and making it work. The best way I can explain the Innovative Leadership Seminar by Brian Tracy is as 'that experience that will make me overhaul my bio'. This weekend was the Proverbial 'it'.

I made the decision to go see Brian Tracy the second I saw the ad on someone's dp (talk about instant judgment calls).There and then I was clear what I wanted to achieve at the seminar:

     -Learn something new that would impact my life

     -Get an autograph from Brian Tracy

     -Take a picture with Brian Tracy

One of the most important things I learned is that every average individual gets at least 4 new ideas that could change their lives every year. The difference between wealthy people and others is this-

 "The most successful people constantly think about the things they want and how to get it and they constantly act on it". BT

Another important lesson I learned about priorities-

"Identify daily, the task that has the biggest consequences (or impact or value) and focus on it 100% until you complete it, before starting other activities. "

To practice it everyday-

"Always write down your goals and ask yourself-which of these tasks, if completed will make the greatest contribution in my organization/life and focus on it first"

Ever had so many ideas that they seem to cloud your mind and you don't know which one to go for first? This should help:

1. Make a list of 10 of your best ideas

2.Rewrite them out according to their level of impact

3. Pick the first 2 and write down another list of 10 things it will take to achieve them

4. Focus on doing those things from now on 80%

Trust me these principles are working for me. I am going to be sharing a lot more over the next following days...
