Work From Home

By Daton Caedea

Hello and welcome, it's nice to have you back. So, from last time we were talking about -ACTION-! This is what we have to do after the notion. Just do it. Piece of cake, I hear you say, how? I mean, I'm off the couch and ready for action. What next?

Well, get that start key out and fire up. The 'thinking' bit is over and done. Enough time has been wasted so now we must get a move on to...do something. The time has come to stop wishing your life away by waiting for that next pay-day. If you are waiting for something bigger and better, it just won't happen.

Time enough though, when I clock back in to complain about my lot. You know, how hard done by I am and how life is so unfair. Why do I get all the bad luck and so on. It was only when my ship of life was in danger of sinking on a reef that serious action had to be taken. Man those pumps!

It doesn't take much to redirect your awareness from hibernation to awake. Especially when things go pear shaped. It's too easy to travel through one's life on a weekly/monthly basis, getting paid for a job that just about gets you through. What troubled me in particular was what was waiting for me nearer the time when you are told that you have to retire. What then?!!

I get home having done the last day my shift and slump into a 3 day campaign of nothingness. Complete void, vacuum, whatever. Usually in front of the bromide machine called a TV. All that hyped up media stuff whipped up for the masses (making someone a fortune). Well good luck to "them". I bet they don't watch it!

Scary or what. I don't mean to dismay anyone, but that's how it was. Of course it still is happening to millions (billions) of people out there, I decided to break out and be alive again, just like I was when I was a youngster (pre- teenager). I don't listen to all that negative crap going on around us any more. I hear it, but I shut it out! I don't want to wind up a miserable old geezer with no life in front of him and nothing but a vacuum behind.

Are we going on a voyage of discovery then? Do we feel brave? Are we not going to shrink back at the first hurdle? Are we heck. You have the power, we all do, to get on. There is nothing to be afraid of except yourself. It's usually the problem with a lot of us. You have a magnificent device at hand to make miracles and slay your demons. It's called your brain and your mind to run it...properly.

The ultimate liberator and because it's yours, it's unique. Nobody can take that away...so why don't you put it to good use, for the good of you and those around you.

See you next time, hang in there.
