Journey to Happiness

"I should start a blog"

oh yeah. I have a blog.

"...Then a web site"

ok... harder than a blog.

It's an awful thing, having too many choices. For people who have the tyranny of too few choices it's hard to understand how the vast wasteland of "what shall I do now" rolls out ahead of a person when there is nothing to dictate their action.

I'm deadline driven. I've been in sales and marketing, often supporting multiple clients who all have their income directly effected by my ability to be efficient (poor sods). So if I don't get it done by the deadline, all hell breaks loose (so they tell me: I've never missed the deadline to find out).

But the deadlines have all dried up for now. In the last couple of years I've systematically put down my burdens in order to care for someone I loved very much. She died, as was our expectation, and I'm able to put my working life back together again. Whatever...

I positively reek with possibilities. I'm a licensed Realtor: will I have a buyer and score I nice big commission check (after the stress and chaos of the sale)? I've programmed html since 1998... will I have a web client and build them a fantastic page? I've built adwords campaigns... will my next client need a full online search engine marketing campaign? Or will it be straight design and graphics. or a printed postcard, an e-newsletter, letterhead and business cards, a t-shirt, a cup, a custom pen in a custom box...?

I look back at a career filled with challenges. I haven't done much in the last 20 years that didn't involve learning a new skill, so I am spoiled for choice when I contemplate the future.

What's next?

Perhaps it's time to bring it all together. Time for the NooSphere.
