Starting simply

Always be reading something. I don't mean read constantly, but you should always have a book with a bookmark in it. If for no other reason, to stimulate your imagination. This will help to satisfy habit #7 of "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", "Sharpen the Saw."

Communicate. There is no better... no strike that... there is no other way to get what you want out of other people.

Do what you say, be who you are. If you commit to something, make it happen. And make that inner voice come out.

Dream big. Having lofty goals doesn't mean you will achieve them, but setting the bar too low means you might miss your full potential.

Produce. As in, be productive. Be active always, and while a plan is not always a necessity, intent is.

Be mindful. Your intent will actualize your reality. A.k.a. you reap what you sow, mentally and otherwise.

Stay healthy. Yoga and cardio, etc. Eating organically and close to the Earth, as little land-based meat as possible. And, enjoy your diet and physical activity. Life is too short to waste time sweating inside a dumpy gym or eating food with no taste or enjoyment factor.

Be outdoors.

Shelter well. Ostentatious and flashy, no. Richly and comfortable, yes.

Give back.

Honor your environment. Make green the simplest of choices. Keep a clean and uncluttered house.

Express yourself. Harmony of mind and body will be for naught unless the inner and outer realities align.

Be artful.

Be proactive. Not re-active. Make wise, informed, forethought decisions and you will create and define your reality in such a way that proaction will supplant reaction.

Embrace failure. As a learning opportunity. Something to be noticed and improved upon.

Adapt. Much like a river, flow around obstacles in your path and maintain your intended direction/intention.

Play. Life is too short not to. Play encourages creative risk taking.

On Indifference, and Titles

The single hardest thing about creating a blog in times as these is the successful selection of a name. Hats off to Blogger/Google, we all have a voice and for free no less.

Firstly, you have to bring focus on your intent, and thusly boil said intent down to five words or less. You need creativity and originality. Doubly so because of the sheer volume of people blogging. One may find the *perfect* blog title only to find it in use. URL selection is made similarly.

This is to be a blog about common sense and clear truth in an age when sense is no longer common and truth is rarely clear. I strike that- truth is always clear. Mostly, truth rarely is embraced and often avoided and much disused.
