Commitment
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in ones favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance that no man could have dreamed would come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. ~W.H. Murray, Scottish Himalayan Expedition What are you committed to?

So for me, what I’m committed to is striving daily to be the best version of myselfβ€”while being there for those God has entrusted to me, namely my wife and childrenβ€”and to develop resources to equip parents, myself included, so that we can thrive at running a business or building a YouTube channel "from home" β€” while minimizing the chaos, enjoying the fun times, and keeping up with the responsibilities of parenthood.

@Rasheed Hooda - So the community itself is technically live but I am not actually making it public yet because I am writing a piece of software. Let me explain a bit if I can.....You see I want to have the community have a free tier...and the type of content I will be making is likely going to draw a large crowd over time...and as Alexa has seen that brings with it a lot of people who want to use a free community as a place to sell their services etc. I know Mike is taking the route of charging a small monthly fee as a way of detering others from using his platform in that way. As a systems engineer for years with a strong understanding of basic website design and computer programming - I have chosen to go a different route. What I have done is created a pre-screening application. You can see that application HERE. It lives on my website. That application when I start using it will funnel applicants to a system that will prescreen the applications - approve the ones that meet certain criteria and hold for review the rest. The software to do that is what I am writing. It's over 90% complete and so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...so to speak. But with limited time and resources and other life events to deal with...it takes time to finish. If I had to guess - and I hate to do that - I would hope that I could be back to creating content sometime in May provided that the upcoming wedding doesn't eat up too much of my time. Of course I will be putting that wedding first...but thankfully things are coming together.

You know the name of this group - "Embrace Your Inner Weirdo" - and the whole point of that video - I see as being one in the same. For some people they just know the direction they want, or need, to head in. For others it gets burried by the expectations of others. I personally hold to the belief that each of us play a role in the lives of those around us and that for many the impact they can have on the lvies of others is directly correlated to how good they are at hearing, and listening, to the voice that is inside of us...or as @Rasheed Hooda calls it - "Our Innder Weirdo". The story of the person wanting to become a firefighter is a prime example. He knew what he believed he was meant to do - and that knowing gave him clarity and that clarity energizes the universe to bring about the events that helped him become what he knew he was called to become and along the way he was given the opportunity to teach a lesson to the teacher....a lesson that hopefully the teacher not only experienced...but also shared with others.
Do what you must...
Do what you must, so you can do what you want. Have you heard that phrase before? I have well. Heck, not only have I heard it before, I've preached it for many years, but I just recently realized that I wasn't practicing what I preached. Many of you know that I twist balloons and it has served me well for the last 18 years, but I was getting weary of doing it week in and week out. I've been thinking about getting out of it and I have been resisting having to do that in order to have income coming in while I oursue my long-term plan that doesn't necessarily require my presence all the time. While I enjoyed doing balloons and I still do, and there is no substitute for a child hugging your legs and saying you're the best. Being a balloon artist requires my presence. In other words, I am trading time for money, even though the money is good, it's still a time for money exchange. This past weekend I had what I call a duh moment. I realized that if I work 20 hours a week doing balloons I can remove all the financial stress out of my life and focus the rest of the time doing what I'm passionate about. So I have recommitted myself to showing up about 20 hours a week handing out balloon animals, and spend the rest of the time doing what I enjoy doing, which is helping people create Freedom Lifestyle without having to worry about income. When I give away balloons people give away money. I know that when I start giving away my experiences and knowledge the money will show up. I won't have to struggle for it, fight for it or worry about it. But until that cash flow starts I don't have the stress anymore because I have balloons as my channel of income. What are you resisting that is actually working for you? Think about it and share it in the comments
