Well folks I got to tell you I may be good at writing and teaching and everything else but hey this web design stuff is stretching my brain inside out – that’s for sure.

You know as I said before, I didn’t know anything about computers 10 years ago when I started uing them, and heaven knows I have turned myself inside out teaching myself what I know, but did you ever stop to think about the fact there is a lot you don’t know, that could be exactly what you need to know to get the job or the opportunities you really want? So where do you start? Do you go to university and get that degree? Is that going to bring you what you want? Or do you become the ever evolving student of the universe like me?

Personal evolution – something not many people think about, except if it’s related to making money. How have you evolved as a person, how much have you changed in the last 10 years? Have you changed at all? Have you overcome fears, visited far away places, talked to hundreds of people you have never met before, written that book, sat on the beach watching the sun rise with a friend, seen the beauty of a new born babies smile, and somehow managed to find a way to show the world just a tiny glimpse of your uniqueness?

Or have you been so busy that you haven’t had time to take nourishment from all the wonders life has to offer?

Well unfortunately for a lot of people lives are like that second option. A lot of people think well I will go to university and get a degree and then life will be good and in some cases it is. But in my field of work it just doesn’t work like that. Because I have so many natural talents sometimes life becomes a minefield of distractions, I can happily paint for hours, write and re-write that book until the cows come home, dream up new projects and never ever get to the point where I make any money from any of them! Know what I mean? So I am the eternal seeker of experiences that create and bring beauty to my life, however the thing that’s different about me is I have chosen to face all those little obstacles and take things one step at a time to build skills while soaking up every single wonderful second this life has to give me.

When you set out to get a life sometimes in order to create that life you have no option but to do things differently – after all we are all unique, no two of us are the same are we? So how can I give you a plan for my life and career and tell you it’s going to work? How can it work for you, after all you had different parents, different circumstances, and different influences? You know I could never figure out how someone could say “if you do this then you will get that.” After all isn’t life a journey of variables? Surely if you make this choice, it will bring in x influences and experiences, and if you make that choice it will bring in y influences and experience. Hence we live in a multidimensional reality; our choices govern the outcomes that we experience as life.

So how can we make wise choices? What governs the parameters making our decision A WISE CHOICE? How can we find our way along the Yellow Brick Road, and create a life that is unique, in its experiences, creating opportunities that enhance our individuality? Well first you have to begin with the basics, and you have to be prepared to feel the challenges stretch your brain until it feels like it will burst, and then feel the joy of excitement, when you yell – “I did it!”

In life you must be prepared to keep asking questions about what you don’t know that you need to know, and you must be prepared to change directions, keep on growing, and keep adding to what skills and passions you already have. The main thing is to never ever give up! To settle for the status quo is to die a slow miserable death every second of your life - and how sad is that!
