One of the reasons I started writing this blog, was so that I could get some of the thoughts in my head out on paper, virtual paper, and into the world. From what I hear, this process should help me in several ways. It clears my head so there is some room to think and play with ideas. It also starts a process of figuring myself out and finding some direction. And maybe most importantly, it starts a process, emphases on STARTING, the exact process is not so important.<\/p>\n
A wise man once told me: “You cannot steer a parked car.” I heard this a really long time ago, I knew exactly what he meant, but until I started experiencing what he meant, it didn’t really sink in. Until you START\u00a0making headway you can’t change where you are going. You’ll just stay exactly where you are. So START\u00a0moving, in any direction, and once you make a START\u00a0you can steer yourself\u00a0to where you want to be.<\/p>\n
For me starting this blog was like releasing the parking brake on my vehicle. And amazingly even though it’s only been a really short time, I can already feel the ability to take control and change direction. As when driving a new car for the first time, it will take time to get used to how it behaves. So just like when learning for your learners car licence, I’ll stay in first and second gear, and do a few laps of the parking lot. And when the time is good and right, we’ll go on a journey. And I’ll take you all with me.<\/p>\n
Drive safe and stay Awesome.<\/p>\n
