The Present: Stealing Time

The Present: Stealing Time

I go to parties, go to clubs, fundraisers, social gatherings etc..I speak to people at my shows or at train of thought (my open mic) and just around town. Often a question that i ask is what they want with their lives. Now I don't throw it out as the first question after "what's happenin?" I ease into it ya know. But as a naturally curious person the question gives me insight on who that person is (and honestly how i can use their skills for my own world domination, but more on that later). Sad part is that i get too many answers coming from the same person. Meaning most people have been given so many choices for everything that we have become a habitually indecisve nation. Recently I found out we have over 1000 channels included in our cable package. Who needs 1000 channels. Do we laugh more in 2009 then we did 1979 when we only had a few? I remember growing up in the 80's and all of us getting together to watch the same things cause their wasn't much choice, and we connected that way. We also fought over who got to watch what but that was all part of family time.

Well i say all of that to say this, technology has made everything instantaeous. The world is literally at our fingertips and that is a good thing. However, what are we doing with all this time? How come so many people i meet don't have one solid dream in them? Why have we collectively failed at the task of being exactly who we want? In this blog i urge you to write exactly what you want in your life and at least 5 steps to get you there. Keep plugging away till you can get through number #1 then continue on to #2. Make this goal big. dream. be. do. and then you will become. Take all the time technology has given you and do something crazy. Use it on yourself.

And its ok to revise the steps. But make sure the vision is constant and consistent. Post them here if you are brave enough to anounce your dreams to the world. What i have found that if you start announcing what you want to the world, the world starts providing you with the means. But you have to start the conversation. Talk to me baby, talk to me.
