My Recent Activities

If you notice, I haven’t been posting as often as I usually do.

The reason for this is that I have been thinking.  I’ve been thinking a lot.  I’ve been thinking about the future; what it holds and how best to prepare for it.

I also realize, that at the same time, I’ve been gathering my energies.  In effect, I’ve been bringing together and assembling all the various positive pieces of my life, in preparation for the future.

Given today’s current economic climate, I believe that’s what we should all be doing.

Gathering of Energies

So, what are some of the “items” I’ve been gathering.

Time - I have been analyzing how my time is used and have been eliminating time wasters from my life.  Some of these time wasters have been people; projects I’ve devoted time to; television, etc..

Money - I’ve analyzed the things I spend the most money on and have begun pulling back.  If it’s something you need, then it’s okay to spend money on it.  If it’s something you really don’t need, then let it go.

Work - What is it I truly want to work on?  What projects bring the most passion into my life?  Those are things I’ve been thinking about.

Health - I’ve been exercising daily.  I’ve decided to bring better health into my life by devoting more and energy to it.

People - I’ve been meeting new people; positive ones who I believe will bring value to my life and work.

The Future - I have been devoting several hours daily toward setting new projects into motion; all of which are going to make 2009 a really great year.

In effect, I’ve been gathering my energies, so that I’ll have abundant sources of energy to apply in the future.

I AM POSITIONING MYSELF TO BE READY FOR THE FUTURE.

I am doing this by making myself more efficient.
