THE EXECUTION

"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."
                                                                           -    Jane Howard, novelist/writer
"If you've had an impulse to do something, and it's not totally irresponsible, why not do it? It may be just the Journey you've always needed."
                                                                           -    Timothy Hutton, actor
"It's only when we truly know that we have a limited time on Earth, and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it (were) the only one we had."
                                                                            -    Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, psychiatrist

........ Hmmmmmmm........

We all have ideas throughout our lives, some of them brilliant. Ideas are fantastic nourishment for the soul. They get us excited, they give us a certain BELIEF. A faith in our idea(s). Ideas can become the beginning of something BIIIIG in your life. The start of a DREAM perhaps. In fact ideas are the fruit of our IMAGINATION. Our imagination takes some of our THOUGHTS, which as you know come from our MIND, and plays around with them. A bit of insight here, a bit of visualisation there, and up pops a good IDEA. This is all a part of the CREATIVE PROCESS which I have talked about many times. As you know when I decided to RE-INVENT myself, to start all over again, I decided to give whatever was left of my life, over to doing what I wanted to do. Put simply that was to CREATE, and I wasn't really sure WHAT to CREATE! I just sorta through it into the hands of the Universe, because I sure as hell didn't know how or what to do first. It began at the Library, where I am now, where I began to read books, more specifically Self-Help, Personal Development and Biographies, mainly those relating to Entrepreneurs, usually modern technology types.
Anyway after a while I started to get the hang of it. I began reading a lot of books about CREATIVITY of all things. It's amazing how many books relating to CREATIVITY there are. Then this branched out into books relating to the BRAIN and then the MIND. I was beginning to LEARN..........

As it turned out the CREATIVITY path I began to follow were the arts of writing, poetry, song writing and just about anything relating to those genres, including films and documentaries, story telling (kids television, which I am still working on!) and of course Social Media. Because of my situation and being reclusive, living in the bush near the beach in a tent, unknowingly I had unconsciously chosen probably the best environment I could to pursue my DREAM in relation to CREATING stuff. Apparently ALL of the great entrepreneurs and artists, creative thinkers etc, have all come up with their brilliant IDEAS during times of forced reverie, that is, times of relaxation and aloneness. And that is 'eggs actly' how it has happened to me. But again I found stuff out the hard way. A few good ideas here, a few good ideas there, was only the beginning of the creativity. Ideas are not much good to anyone really if they just stay in your head, if they just stay an idea. In my case all that I did was read. I didn't know much about what to do next. But as it turns out I had already begun my CREATIVE JOURNEY without knowing. I had thrown my desires, my NEEDS, into my sub-conscious and unconscious. And without me even knowing my little MIND was going full steam ahead. Pretty coooool when you think about it!

....... Just Do It..... EXECUTE.....

Through my reading and gaining knowledge about all things CREATIVE it was time to get a few ideas happening. And so began the writing, without a computer, one hour a day at the Library. But an idea is not really much good to anyone if you file it in the sub-conscious or unconscious and leave it there, or forget about it. Like most ideas there will be no manifestation, no making the idea a reality. People assume wrongly that everybody else is doing it, or that it is too hard. So good idea, bad motivation. Bad passion. Bad intestinal fortitude (GUTS!). In fact in my book there is a Chapter on what I call VIPER POISON, an acronym for the ingredients you will need to cook up a nice CREATIVE recipe. We won't go into the whole lot now but the VIPER part is THE most important. These are the VIPER ingredients, the very tools you are going to need to CREATE a masterpiece:

 VISION
                                    INTESTINAL FORTITUDE
    PASSION
          EXECUTION
          RESILIENCE

 I can tell you now from my own experience that to manifest your idea you will need to work on those traits. THE most important in my opinion is the EXECUTION. So my idea to write a book after much reading and research would not have been creative if I hadn't produced the actual book. Same with the poetry. Same with the songs which I am working on the production of right at this very moment. If my dream, or my idea was just to WRITE a song, then I would have manifested the idea several times over as I have written an album full of songs. But that's no good to me or my Journey. The songs MUST create exposure for my story. Therefore I MUST have them recorded and produced, probably with me singing. It means having to have musicians 'jam' the songs the way I have constructed them. There is a lotta work in EXECUTION, like there is in doing anything worthwhile.
So, if you have an IDEA, then make it happen! Don't think it's too hard, will take too long, or everybody else would have done it. You have ONE LIFE, just like me. Do something that is YOURS and YOURS ONLY. Do it before you die. Leave us all with something that you CREATED, just from an IDEA. Be like a Prison Warden...........................

Carry out THE EXECUTION.........
