Have you ever watched something slowly fall into neglect? Maybe it was something around your house. Maybe it was that rotting board on the deck that you watched get progressively worse over time. You didn’t tend to it so one day it finally stop serving you. Maybe it was a relationship that you know needed attention but instead you chose to ignore its importance. As a result, you have a fence that may never be able to be mended. Name any other thing that is as insidious as the creep of decay of anything. It’s nasty business.

I read a post recently from Seth Godin. He is an interesting fellow in that many times he has great ideas if you can just get past his arrogance, but I digress.

To sum it up, there is never a perfect situation with economies, world peace and other things being taken care of or eliminated completely. In light of that, what will you do today that will help you revolutionize your life or someone else’s? Read the remainder of this entry »
