I suppose it’s been done for generations, we record it in one fashion or another those things that are important to us . We went we write or when we paint or when we sing and use any medium that could be reflected after our demise. There may be a different mechanism at work that we are not even aware of that will allow us to leave that wisdom with others of succeeding generations through our interactions with those around us. Almost as if it were a virus it is transmitted from one person to the next. That wisdom gets transferred in the same way through exposure to one another.

As we interact on a day-to-day basis, we teach those that are often younger than us about things that we find or have found to be vital to life. And that’s how we pass on what we feel are the most important aspects of our life. Of course it’s mixed in with a lot of other stuff that’s not so important but quite possibly that disguising of the nuggets of wisdom is the genius of the whole method. The gems of wisdom are mixed in everyday life so that they can be absorbed almost undetected by those that we touch in one way or another.

Maybe it’s how the universe lets the wisdom get distilled into the most important parts. That way it doesn’t get lost in all the data, in all the nonsense of life. Hummm, it makes you wonder if something like this could be a work. I am in no way trying to convey the fact that I understand or have knowledge of principles at work that you may not know, but what I am trying to say is that there are most likely principles at work that we don’t even have a clue about.

Things that God or the universe want to take place and have been set up for our own good with no knowledge whatsoever on our part. Just like a parent would set in motion things for a child before that child could even understand the concept at hand. God has placed in motion things that help and assist us in our evolution towards higher understanding and we don’t even know what he has done or how it works.

There are other things too that I have realized in my life that were not always evident to me. For instance, I see how counterproductive getting emotionally upset is. There was a time when I would have not known that and participated in it to a great degree but now it is different. It’s different not that I never get upset any longer it’s just now that I recognize how useless it really is and I have begun to try to take steps to change that.

In the case of emotional upset, I find that observing others has made a big difference. It’s hard for me to see it in myself and make much of a difference in my behavior but it’s easy to see how counterproductive it is in someone else. And then there’s another thing, correcting others is one of those things that just doesn’t work very well either. In most cases no one listens and you tend to alienate those that you feel free enough to correct. So what’s the use, honestly? Why would you want to alienate those closest to you?

These are just a few of the examples of the things that I have noticed in my own life they may not be true for you. But maybe you found other things that seem evident now but at one time you were totally oblivious to.

Here’s another example, at one time in my life I felt like things changed me or at least how I felt about me. Like cars and clothes and jewelry, but now I know that those things really don’t make any difference at all. No amount of dressing it up makes any difference at least on the inside. Obviously you want to put your best foot forward when you’re dealing with people in the world but it is important to remember those things don’t change me.

Maybe it’s just maturity, maybe it’s not wisdom at all but it least it feels like that to me. In the same vein as this thought, is a whole other thought about why people have to die. It seems so unfair that after they’ve gained a lifetime or what we consider a lifetime of wisdom they leave and people are born and it has to start all over. But I suppose that’s a thought for another post on another day.

I have shown in my own life over and over that if I just spend a little time getting organized I will actually be far more productive in all the things that I do. And at the end of the day I feel better and so begins the momentum that continues into the next day or at least the evening and I’m able to accomplish even more during those periods of time.

For instance today I set out to accomplish a certain task and was interrupted early in the morning and felt frustrated while I was doing something else because my original task was being put to the side. But what I did at that point was decided that no matter what I would finish my original task. I put my mind to it and low and behold by the end of the day I had completed so much more than I ever thought possible. I accomplished the intended task along with all the distracting tasks.

This is not to say that every time you could be taken away from your intended task and still get it done but it just shows you the power of intention and the way that if you make up your mind you can actually get quite a lot done. I heard it said that if you want to get something done give it to a busy person and that adage I think holds a lot of truth for many people. We just need to get busy.

Someone said a long time ago that half the battle of getting anything done is just getting started and that may hold true in this case also just start. Once your started it is much easier to accomplish your goal. In fact it is impossible to accomplish your goal if you don’t get started. Now there’s a profound statement for you if I ever heard one.

I think I can probably start part time and operate from my home without any extra space or expense. I have the tools both software and of course the hardware tools to do what I need to do so with the upstart cost should be relatively inexpensive as I think I can do the advertising locally with accommodation of word-of-mouth and flyers.

My intention is to offer a service that will optimize the persons computer. By that I mean if they’re having trouble with their computer, I can go in and clean it up and change settings to in effect give them a system that operates similar to what it did when it was new. That would be a great service to many people I know because most people that have computers really don’t know how to maintain them or even that you need to maintain a computer. They get away with not doing so because they don’t really use them all that much.

I’ll come up with some sort of catchy little phrase to use on my flyers and business cards and then start spreading the word to friends and associates in the area. We live in a town of about 15,000 so shouldn’t be that hard to get the word out and currently there is no one else in town that offers the sort of service to the community. I can even volunteer to maintain the computers at my church and possibly even for some local service organizations to help get the word out.

Think about it, if a local service organization has membership of say 200 people and I go in and offer to optimize five peoples computers as some sort of give away. I’ll get a lot of advertising for free. And to be honest the service doesn’t take me that much work to do. I’ve been doing it on my own computer for years and have honed the skill to the point where I could probably do it in a couple of hours.

I can even solicit the help of my children to put up flyers and maybe even offer flyers to their friends at school. My mind starts to race as I think about all the ways that I could get the word out and I know there are plenty of people that need this service. I suppose at this point I need to sit down with pencil and paper to figure out if I could really make a living at it and if so how many computers do I need to do a week and what percentage of the population I would need to be my customer base. This is quite exciting I think I’ll quit writing for now and go to do some figuring on my new business.

I’m glad the kids are going to because it gives them a break from being our kids for a little while they can get a different perspective on authority and besides they don’t have to do the chores. Speaking of chores, that is a major issue around our home. The kids have been taught from an early age to do chores every day. We felt like it would build a responsibility in them and train them to be disciplined at least to some degree.

When I was a child we had chores that we had to do every day, but I don’t remember it being such a problem getting my sister and I to do them. What I remember is that we pretty much did them without being told. But then again that was a long time ago and we all know how selective our memory can be. I probably need to talk to my mom and find out her recollection.

Another was one thing in particular that I didn’t especially like doing and that was mowing the yard. We had a big yard, about 5 acres, and even though we had a riding lawnmower I pretty much detested the thought that I was in have to spend about four hours riding that thing around. I have been told that my sister did more of that than I did but I’m not really sure how I got out of it I just don’t remember.

I suppose that’s part of growing up so, we remember what we want to do what serves our purposes and we tend to forget everything else. That way we can shape who we are what we are in a fashion that pleases us and is conducive to the goals and aspirations that we have as adults. I hope my kids someday remember the good parts and forget the bad ones because God knows I’m not the best parent in the world even though I have really good intentions.

Not one of those people that called me on that first day made it out to see the puppy. And it was a Sunday. But the next day and here’s that right part, I had three different women desperately wanting to adopt the puppy. My question is, what made the difference, why is it that 25 people called me on Sunday and no one came out to see the dog but on Monday three people called in all of them desperately wanted to adopt the dog won even without seeing it?

Now do you understand what I’m getting at. Why is it that we as humans are so patterned in our behavior? It’s almost as if there’s some sort of communication going on in the group that’s not even related that causes them to act in similar ways. There are some people that believe we do indicate over long distances and without physical apparatus. These sorts of things that I just described would lend itself to that theory.

I bet almost everyone that reads this post has had something very similar happened to them. We may she want to stand back and scratch your head and say, why. I even wondered if it had anything to do with the way that I talked to people on Sunday may be there was something in my voice or the words that I chose that caused them not to be interested in the puppy but then on Monday maybe my attitude or words or expressions changed and does it change their reaction to me.

I suppose it’s one of those things that we will have to take a few more years to investigate someone will have to get a grant to do some research and after a while we’ll figure it out and say wow what a nice think of that before? What are a lot of things like that in life and usually ends up with some sort of head scratching behavior by those of us that didn’t think of that before.
