Light Bulb/New Project

Every now and then you have a basic idea that is complex yet simple.

I was thinking of what to do with some vested money I have coming to me.
I want to do something with it.
I want to turn it into something.
I want it to manifest in a way that will create memories and experiences.
I want to use it to parlay to networking and/or experience toward my other interest(s).

I didn't realize it but I was reasoning from essential truths.
Rather than solve problem "A," I was starting with driving beliefs in my mindset and solving a host of problems/obstacles at once.

Another light bulb moment recently, I was reading about athletic training and conditioning, and a baseline maxim or truth is if you're going to do it, do it almost every day, ie: stretching for flexibility.
If you're not willing to do it but every so often, don't do it at all.
The gains you're getting will be marginal.
DO the thing(s) you're willing to do every day.

I'm currently working on a travel project that will be broad in scope and will I expect indirectly open up a host of opportunities for your humble narrator.

Everyone likes a good narrative, a tale of redemption, and I intend to craft just that into an experience.

Perhaps because biographies and movies and Hollywood boil things down into digestible chunks....we believe life comes down to a handful of moments.

Perhaps this is true or not, we can decide this is the narrative for us or not.
As much as I have an all or nothing personality, I've never ascribed much to this theory of a handful of moments defining you, in fact, my rebellious personality bristles at this idea when defining my own person and nature.

At any rate, rehab was a big one for me.
The time I was arrested and almost lost everything was another.
Quitting my current career/taking a break was definitely another.

I don't know that I'm learning in the sense that I've relapsed and in the sense that I'm still negotiating (if you can call it that) with the Justice system, but I'm experience things which are fundamentally changing my world view....for whatever that's worth.

A light bulb moment is often the combination in rapid succession of several ideas combining to manifest in a moment of clarity. Reading online about monetizing your interests, reading about reasoning from essential truths, reading about self-publishing which I have done before, applying gym/training methodology to pursing improvement in writing and blogging as my hobbies, and last but not least losing fear of embracing more deeply who you are and what you see for yourself.

I see a life where work is balanced with leisure and for me leisure is the pursuit of my hobbies, chiefly training, blogging, and some travel thrown in for good measure.

I'm exceedingly good at what I do professionally.
I'm embracing more and more deeply what I need/want in my personal relationships and I'm continually striving to trim the fat from my personal and professional life and maximize my horus of the day in pursuit of that and whom which I choose.

I'm patiently accepting the road looms long and hard and lonely ahead of me but that is tempered by the reality that there's an honesty in accepting and embracing who you are.
