Your Song

"Its a little bit funny, this feeling inside."  Sir Elton John had no idea where, when or how his song was going to be played, when he initially sang his song.  Such is the perseverance and winning spirit of people who make it in this life.  Strutting through empty streets yesterday evening, it occured to me that in this, my particular part of the world, few people are serious about making  generational money, like the millionaires in the rest of the industrialised world.   Why I say so?  Sometimes its not about working smart or hard, but just doing your thing when everyone else gives excuses, like  consistency in delivering, that small dollar yielding formula repeated over and over again till you see a pattern, progression. In my neck of the woods, consistency is boring, repetition tedious and a return of cents on an investment not good enough.  So one project is abandoned for another, same as one job for another, till one is unemployable and then, you cannot account for your life, or your time.  Left - an empty bitter cask of a human being.  

Your song is the sum total of everything that you do with your life.  You have an option to make what you will of it.  At some point, everyone else' opinion ceases to matter, and its just you against yourself. When you take time to smell the flowers, also take time to take stock of your own life.  When was the last time you smiled or enjoyed anything with the same wonder as that of a child?
