A fine WordPress.com site

So as the saying goes, “hard work is the only thing that pays off in life”, or, “hard work is it’s own reward”.  It’s always easy to fall back upon cliche’ but, we must work hard to instigate change. But I am also a firm believer in “conditioning” or repetitive behavior.  Thus, in order for something, anything, to sink in and catalyze change. it must appear, re-appear, reinforce and take it’s place in our expectations of the universe.

So press on. and then again. and again. and be rewarded by the satisfaction of perseverance and the foundation and fortifying walls upon which movement toward a goal(or any change) can be built. Then keep moving, recognizing that everything requires constant and continuous effort. brick by brick, layer by layer. Your will alone is not enough to achieve anything. Actions must result from thoughts and intentions. Actions alone make change, otherwise life is but a fantasy that resides only in dreams. Aeons full of generations of humans have gone to their graves without taking the active, interactive, & creative steps that will allow them to realize their dreams. They are gone forever. Along with their dreams. Actions.

Actions

yes, one more time…

Actions

Act now. Make haste. You also will be food for worms one day soon. So do not hesitate.__1b334fd5ca3e0e7d13e4eb4d115003e4_width-600 - Copy

I am pretty sure that a lot will be changing on this site as I figure out what I’m going to do with it.  Mostly I just want a place to go when I want to share my thoughts and reflections.  I must admit, I immediately had buyers remorse and the guilty ego voices whispering.  But that’s ok. Must press on.  Haha Get it?

I posted a FB link tonight which I will also attempt to share here: http://www.ted.com/talks/jake_barton_the_museum_of_you.html

A worthwhile use of my time tonight being the anniversary and all.  Thoughts go out to all who experienced loss that day.  We all did.  And still do.  I am usually a bit of a jokester/prankster/rogue-ish/wordsmithy kind of guy, but today I have to defer to my more reverent side and honor those whose lives were taken.

So there it is.  My 1st post.  No longer a virgin, the seal is broken.  Many more to come.  I do like the odd number date pattern also.  A good day to launch this adventure.  Thank you dear reader, it is upon you whom my hope rests
