The Future
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Today is an interesting day because I am considering my future as a blogger and the development of my website. I am really conflicted because it is my desire to voice my opinions to the world, but my fear that the world isn't really ready for my thoughts.
Funny situation, huh?
Being that this is a blog about Thought being possibility, I am realizing how our thoughts can really limit our potential. I have all of these wonderful ideas in my head, yet continue to think, find wholes in the plan and worry what others will say.
That isn't the Freddie Taylor that I know and this guy needs to get the hell out of here. Yes, I said. I am now going to evict this little me that seems to have taken control of the navigation of my future. That guy doesn't belong inside me and I wonder when did the sabatoge begin.
It is begining to dawn on me that we all have this counter productive voice inside of all of us. Obviously, there is the optimist, but that individiual has been quite lately in my life and frankly I miss him. The pessimist has taken the reigns of my decision making and has been playing it say. Safe is for chumps, and frankly, I ain't no CHUMP!
So today, that started in confliction is now turning into clarity. I know what I need to do moving forward. I must allow the eternal optimist to grab the reigns of my life and guide us through this journey of excitment and interest called life.
You will begin to notice a change to the website, the conversation, and the future that I am creating.
How about you? Will you throw caution to the wind and ride for what you believe in with me?
The time is now and the future is planned for no one.
Onward, upward we must strive!
Thought is Possibility!

Today another thought has entered my mind. The thought of receiving enough income from the Internet to support my current life style. Wow! What an idea?
I got this vision from surfing the Internet like I usually do. I came across a website of a guy from Australia. He is a professional blogger, meaing he generates the majority of his income from the Internet and his blog. Wow! I got to thinking that may be the life for me.
The website is ProBlogger.com and there is some wonderful information and resources for bloggers. Obviously, this isn't going to be an overnight situation, but I am willing to put in the time, energy, and effort to make this happen. The Problogger site has been around like 5 years, so he wasn't an overnight success either.
The important thing to remember is this goal just started out as a thought in my head and now it is becoming part of my life as I begin to take it more and more seriously by blogging more, learning about web design, marketing, and more. These are the things that must occur in order to take an idea and make it a reality.
There is a lot of hard work involved in following your dreams, but they can happen. Recognize they all start out first as a thought, but can become an reality. Never give up and make it happen!
Good luck to you!
