If you want to earn more, you must learn more - Dennis Kimbro I took an audit of myself last year and concluded, I was lacking in skill. Especially, skill in things that I am interested in and would make me money. Yes, I've taken courses in writing and music. Also in computing but not specific areas I want to learn (development and eCommerce). Got me thinking; how do I rectify this? Anyone can start but only the thoroughbred finish. - anon (that's just me saying I don't know!) Something I can pride myself on, is finishing my projects. However, I suffer from another evil. Taking tooooo damn long! I always felt that there are mountains that needed conquering. The greatest of them being the self. The sum total of where one is in life is often down to the level of discipline they’ve shown. That’s not to say that there aren’t other factors, of course. All I’m saying, is that the last 2.5 years has felt like an hiatus. You can tell by a gradual decline in posts between 2013 and 2014. During that period I was focused more on being a husband and a father. In keeping my ship afloat. Getting out of 9 to 5, though very… "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 2014 drove by so quickly it left me on the roadside with thumbs stuck out, waiting to be hitched and teleported to a magical destination. It felt like 4 months! There were some fantastic highs; experiencing Istanbul with my family, a city with a lot of history and culture, where my son was so adored by the locals that there were times I was scared they might just run off with him. I also took a trip of a… "Great is the art of the beginning, but greater is the art of ending." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow This quote from the book, Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud Looking forward to reading it as I feel I'm at a stage in my life when I need to let go of some stuff/projects/goals/people etc Let you know if it's worth your dough when I'm done.

It's not-so-surprisingly turning out to be a good read.

Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." In 2014, I intend to get a lil crazy. For real. The last 2 or 3 years, I've allowed myself to slowly embrace a Truth I'm not so comfortable with; compromising can be out n out dangerous! Very!! To compromise is an art my friend. Not to be readily strewn lightly across the lanes of life.

Ask yourself, when you were last "reasonable", did it feel good. Last time…
It's okay to have a job IF you love it. If you don't… Well, 40hrs plus, a week, is a lot of time to spend on something you have no other vested interest in than a paycheck.
