What Have I Been Up To?
There are a lot of changes happening in 2012. It is the year of the Water Dragon after all. According to the Chinese, this is the year of prosperity and good fortune. Is this the time for change?
Many would argue yes and I couldn’t agree more. If we’re to survive the coming decades, we have to change. That’s what I’m been doing, changing my thought processes and a daily basis.
This is a good thing though, my thoughts are changing for the better me, a more positive me. Right now, I feel like I could take on the world. Which I plan on doing here this year.
Right now, I’m posting on Facebook as I write this and it’s going rather quickly, often like a chat would in a chat room. On top of that, I’ve got “One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful” on Youtube repeat. Yes, Youtube has a repeat.
This song that is playing right now seems to be giving me a lot of energy. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a catchy song and has a good beat. That catchy tune allows me to move around a bit. You know what I mean. haven’t you ever tried to dance in your chair while you were typing a blog post? No??? Maybe it’s just me then.
What else have I been doing? A lot of Social Media. I’ve been Networking and increasing my contacts. Empire Avenue is a great way to do just that. Social Media is where it’s at. So many good things have came out of Social Media. Justin Bieber got big because of Social Media. People have traveled the world because of Social Media. People have become successful Entrepreneurs because of it. Authors are finding it easier to make sales because of Social Media.
I’ve also been planning a project. A few people already know about it. My biggest dream is to travel the world and see different places. I’m going to be capturing the moments. Filming what I can and making documentaries, uploading pictures and special moments, etc.
I’ve made it a goal to read at least one book a week. I’m a bit of a slow reader and to increase my reading speed would be a plus. I can do that if I read more often. Most of my reading is done on Blogs or Social Media sites nowadays. So, it’s nice to get away from the PC and pick up a Book. Yes, I’m “Old Fashion.” Ever heard the saying, “The old becomes the new.” That will be books in the next 10 years or so.
I’m still planning my novel and I’m working on a Short Story. I find that by working on multiple projects, it allows you to be more productive. At least it feels more productive. If you can’t work on one story, you can work on the other. No excuses right? If you’re wondering what the Short Story is about, it’s going to be sort of Super Hero based. Keep an eye out for that.
When you’re an Entrepreneur/Author, live takes a new path. It’s not difficult though to integrate that new path in your already existing life. You have to stay positive and look on the bright side of things and not let others bring you down to your level. 2012 is the year to soar. I plan on soaring high. Just like Justin Bieber and J. K. Rowling climbing to the top, it’s my time to soar. I’m not looking back either.
To our success.
It’s Now Or Never
There is a great quote that was shared with me this past week. ”If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.” by Erica Jong
This has a lot of meaning to me in the recent days. This quote can be taken in several different ways. It can be taken in a Psychological way, or a Physical way.
What this means to me is that you have to put yourself out there. You can say what you want to do all you want. If you don’t actually get out there, nothing will ever happen.
Why is this important? It’s everything you will become. It’s your future.
My plans to travel the world have taken a full turn. Instead of being lazy about it, I’m taking charge. I’m not going to sit here and be a lazy bum the rest of my life. Never.
I now have a goal. We can’t make that goal happen though without dedication. So, what am I doing to make it all happen? What’s my dedication?
My dedication happens to be the fact that I know I’ll never get anywhere if I don’t do something now. So, why wait around for things to happen right? In order to get some where, you have to have a plan.
Goals are useless without plans. That’s one thing that’s been holding me back. They say that realizing there is a problem is half the battle. I’m moving ahead at full speed now.
I’m inspired. Thanks to Social Media and the connections I’ve made, I’m able to push forward. And Kickstarter is going to help me get there.
My goal now is to do a bit of research and make a plan to make my dreams happen. Then it’s off to Kickstarter. I’ll get enough Pledges to at least get me where I need to be to get started.
What is my goal? Simply put, To Travel. My goal is to immerse myself into the world. Not everyone will have the opportunity to do so. I plan on making that happen.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’ll find that way. Success is around the corner. Just in reach.
What are you going to do now, that you’ve been holding off? Are you going to let that last second slip away? That last chance?
