Happy Wednesday everyone! First thanks for all your comments yesterday, I am glad you enjoyed the poem on gratitude.
I really believe and truly know that we, ourselves make the difference in our own life.
As the quote from the childhood movie put it so well;
“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams”
~Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
We are the music makers, we control our beat and tempo. When we awake each morning with tasks at hand, we control our ebb and flow down life's river. The pace, the accuracy of our movement or do we just drift down life's river with no control or direction. I can't answer that for you, you need to take a closer and insightful look into your own navigational systems.
We are destined to be the dreamer of dreams. Innovation, speculation of what will improve our life, our families and enhance our success.
Today we have two events that paint our destiny. We all know that tonight the State of the Union will be delivered in front of congress by the president. He will outline what has worked, what has not worked and what his plans our for the next year of his 4 year term. If we don't truly take the time to watch and really listen, straight from his mouth and not the talking heads of the press alone we will be destined to not understand the whole story. As citizens and tax payers, fathers and mothers we owe it to ourselves to really listen and understand.
The other event has less to do with our destination but it has much to do with our culture albeit technologically. Apple CEO Steve Jobs delivers the next new and improved product at todays 1pm meeting in San Francisco, CA. A few years back the IPOD and IPhone changed the way we listen to music and talk on the phone. A whole new business the IPHONE/ITouch applications has launched since this product launch. What is in store for our next 3 to 5 years. What new products and innovations?
Two events both important to our future. Now if only our country was run more like a business than on a short term popularity vote. We as Americans run our life by design, we go to work to earn a living and go to school to design our future.
My wish is that we not only design our companies with a bottom line in mind but we design our country with real facts and hard choices that will direct our lives into a much better long term destination.
The current party both Republican and Democrat system leaves many questions over the past 40+ years of my life. Maybe it is time for a new more conventional party, one that will run our country like a profitable company, filled with innovation and a real sense on what Americans need not on what the lobby's need for their next check to be written.
My wish is that we all take some time tonight to listen with an open mind, and open heart and understand how our national government system truly works. The Biggest Loser and American Idol are great shows but when we understand how our leaders are really running our future maybe we will care less about who gets to the next round on the latest TV reality show.
Just a wish .....
Till next time... Smile, and learn to design your next creation.
