"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples, then you and I will still each have one apple.
But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas"
- George Bernard Shaw
THINK ..... IDEA .... DREAM ..... LIFE I know I go on an'on about it, but this Journey I am on is pretty fascinating. When I tell you I have totally re-invented, I mean totally. That means career, home and quality of life. No more Banking, Management, Sales, or Financial Planning. No more nice cars, houses, furniture and lotsa money. Nup. Uh Uh. Gawn. Vamoosh. Only maybe a measley few thousand days left of this life I'm in and then I'm off outta here to that place called Whoknowswhere.
Mmmm Hmmm.....
So I made an easy decision to do what I want to do for the rest of my life. But although the decision was easy, the process would be difficult. And long. Very long. Way too long. But in the interim I called out to 'someone out there' for help. I called out "Dear Mister SomeOne Out-There". You know the rest. I found ME. The REAL ME that had been knocking inside me wanting to come out and play. But I never opened the door because I was too BUSY. Too busy doing busyness. Apathy winning at what it is best at. Tick, tick, tick went the clock. Eating into my life. So far a life well damaged. But then I came across an OPPORTUNITY when things went BAAAAAD. I consulted with this thingie that runs me called my MIND which gives me my THOUGHTS....... Mmmm Hmmmm.......
Life changed......
I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT ME...........
Ooooh yeah baaabeee.......
Mmmm Hmmm.....

a good IDEA to help your DREAM I knew. Things had to get Baaad before they got Gooood. So I opened the door of ME and Mister Someone Out-There came out and handed me a gift.
Mmmm Hmmmm........
He gave me an IDEA.
He KNEW ME better than me.
So the IDEA was to WRITE. But I was no writer. Never even thought about it. Anyway what was I going to write about? It was a silly IDEA. But then all of this Miser-ee came into my life. Stuff like homelessness, soup kitchens, drug addiction and alcoholics, mentally challenged people, life on the street, life in a tent.....
But I had made a decision to write. And so I did because that gift that MSOT gave me included something he knew I needed to write. Mmmm Hmmm.......
I think you've got it. MSOT gave me something to write about.
He gave me a STORY. A very BIG story. A never ending one.
He gave me the STORY OF ME that hadn't happened yet. He gave me my AUTOFUTUREBIOGRAPHY........
But a lot of the STORY is still to be told as I continue to STEP forward on my Journey. Good bits. BIIIIG bits. And when they happen I'll tell you the STORY, just like I have so far.
Cooooool, huh?

the SMILE of FUTURE PAST.... So along the way I have been able to write. It hasn't been a pretty story so far. It's been one tough gig. I haven't enjoyed it very much and I've had to eat a truck load of Humble Pie. But I have learned. The funneee thing is that the IDEA is my DREAM. My dream is in my FUTURE. To make any dream come true it has to manifest. It has to become your PAST. Then you will KNOW. So what you are doing with me is that you are on my Journey with me and the DESTINATION is my FUTURE PAST. I'm making my DREAM come true because I am living my DREAM. In fact I am INSIDE my own dream right now as I am writing this BLOG thingie. My IDEA was to write. My IDEA is my DREAM. You are actually WATCHING it happen. I have CREATED my own STORY to write about. I told you I am writing a script. I am also writing another book but I can't finish the book until I finish the DREAM. Cute huh!
If you have a BIG IDEA, like me, and you DREAM BIG, like me, then you are going to take a long Journey into your FUTURE PAST, like me. Most people can't get there. As I said it's a tough gig and very few make it through. But I can't wait to get that feeling and SMILE when I watch that IDEA sail through into my PAST. And when the STORY is told, it is when my DREAM becomes REAL. It will be exhilarating. It will be my "Happy-Me"..........
And because I have found ME and I have learned about life, I will not be smug. I will thank. And I will praise. And I will GIVE BACK. And then I will have COMPLETED MY JOURNEY. It will be then that you will truly understand.......
You will GROK it...... like ME
You will KNOW....... like ME
...... and ME will smile......
