Your "More" Begins with Less

Well my friends! Here we are fresh out of graduation, we have "no education" and we are jobless. So are we gonna move back in with mommy and daddy for a few months until we figure out our next move? Maybe so, but then again, maybe not. Let's not forget all we have learned on our journey. We are forgetting everything "THEY" told us! What do they know anyway, right? I have really enjoyed our journey together. It has been a fun, invigorating Oddesy into the world of "more."  Now if you are one of those who believes everything "THEY" tell you then you should probably quit reading here. The rest of us uneducated, Immature (I'm mature) people can read on and get the "more" out of life that has been waiting for you since the day you were born!!

Lets take a little glimpse at the process of "more", shall we? More always begins with "Less". Less likely, less educated, less influential, less skilled. Think about it! Think of "less" people that made "more", Rosa Parks, The Little Rock Nine, Martin Luther King Jr., Martin Luther, Bill Gates, Judge Greg Mathis, Da Vinci, President Barak Obama, Our founding Fathers, many many many more. They started as underdogs. People said they wouldn't achieve their goals. Edgar Albert Guest says " He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done and he DID IT."

These and other similar individuals made it despite the odds! Not only famous people but what about those single moms who attain their college degree and provide better for their families, or that ex convict who turns his life around after the world writes him off, or that handicapped person who succeeds and excels regardless of their handicap, or that special needs person who learns to live and succeed on their own, that drug or alcohol addict who kicks the habit and helps others! They were "less" who became "More"!!! You can do that too!!

You have to have the determination that won't be denied!! You have to want it more than anything! Not only that, you have to go after it. Don't procrastinate and sit and just have a "pipe dream". Pursue it daily, just like those individuals did. 

You must also have a solid plan!! Failure to plan is planning for failure! Get a solid plan and move towards it! Start today. When you finish reading this blog. Whip out your legal pad, your PC, your Mac, your iPad, etc... and start making plans? Whats your first step? How many calls are you gonna make, websites you gonna check out, books you gonna check out of the library? Get your statistics and your plans. Forget what the naysayers say. Only listen to people who see what you see!! In the next edition we will discuss this process more. See you soon!!

Graduation With NO Education!

Good Day fellow Graduates!! Today is a celebration of your "Uneducation"! A festival of your "immaturity" (I'm Maturity). Its a jubilee of independent thought and the exploration of a vast expanse of opportunity.

Speaking of opportunity, what do you imagine? Not, what do you think? What do you IMAGINE? There is a difference. Though they are both rooted in the mind and the mind is the source of both, thinking (for the most part) involves rules. Thinking, especially in the box, is the manner in which one organizes thoughts and plays them out in ones mind according to their exposure to a limited amount of things or experiences. It would be like having a computer that has an operating system but no programs other than "Solitare" and "Word Pad" on it. Though the computer, has immense possibility, no matter how many gigabytes or RAM it has or how much hard drive space you have, if your computer has only been exposed to "Solitare" or "Word Pad" and "Free Cell", then that's the level it will perform up to. And while we're there, if all you do is just recreational stuff with your literal computer, you will never experience the "More" in your life. Use its full potential! Search out some things that can benefit you in the future!!

Imagination is different. Imagination is mental creativity beyond imposed rules. Imagination has no fear. Imagination runs freely. Imagination seeks the highest peak only to use it as a springboard to another world. This is where we want to find ourselves! In the realm of imagination (maybe Willie Wonka will meet us there).
Scientific visionary and genius Albert Einstein credited his creativity and his imagination for the great things he discovered in our universe and not his intelligence. When he was a boy, he imagined himself riding next to a beam of light, the rest is history. Where do you imagine yourself? Do you know how to imagine yourself? What beam of light are you riding next to? What do you think is so crazy that you don't even want to tell you friends? What can you see?

Now, thinking is not the enemy of imagination. They have a love hate relationship but they do help one another. In our next edition of "The Quick and Dirty" we will show how they  relate and why they need each other.

So, go celebrate your graduation and do something for yourself today!! Its the beginning of a new era in your life. Stay tuned, we'll talk soon!
