“Ignorance on fire trumps experience
every time.” –Insurance Salesman
Does anyone want to
read a blog that isn’t about blogging?
Nope.
Well, maybe a few. Dear friends who are interested in what in the
heck you do with your days. Some want motivation whether to take action or to make life changes. Some are searching for answers to specific
questions, like how in the world do we get high SEO ratings?
I haven’t a clue.
I know, though, that we’re
all salespeople.
I didn’t think I was
since I’m not charging for anything I write, post, or blab.
But I realized yes, I
am selling. I want people to read my blogs—what in the heck am I doing here
otherwise, blowing smoke?
I want people to buy my book when it eventually comes out in
2019. (After two years with the
publisher)
At a party aren’t you selling yourself when you strike up a
conversation with someone?
Are we so jaded with somebody trying to sell us something
that we turn a deaf ear? Some are shysters, yes, taking advantage; others are trying to make a living.
And don’t blame the marketers, advertising is
the way to get eyeballs on their merchandise.
People have to know it exists.
I want to give my gift. And I think
that gift is to talk about self-realization,
motivation, and spiritual growth.
Sound lofty?
Well, it is. I see how unhappy many people are. I see how they believe their self-worth is equal
to dishwater. I see how they fear dying and fear living
abundantly.
I see
how people are carrying emotional injuries from childhood, protection that
worked then, but as an adult, it isn’t working. Boy, do we need to drop that
garbage.
I see how 10’s of thousands of people throng
to Tony Robbins events with the intention of either healing themselves or
gaining a greater understanding about how life works. Some want to rise to greater
heights. I saw how when Tony speaks with a participant; most are suffering.
In conversations, people
roll into fear—you know, the government, “trying
to do God’s will.” Well, crap, God’s will is your will. That’s my message. Carve
out your own path. Give God a break.

You wonder in “Giving your gift” if the receiver will like it. You question
if you have matched their tastes. They might re gift it, or give it to goodwill,
or stash it in the closet. “Gee thanks,” they mutter
while wondering what in the world you were thinking.
It’s embarrassing.
That’s the way it is with writing. You put out some words; some will be
scooped up gentle as baby birds, others will get trampled.---Not the baby birds.
It’s a crap shoot.
But let’s get smart. Write what you want to read. Yep, yep,
yep, I know not all people are like me, but you aren’t writing for the world. You
are writing for a special few.
Are you are giving your gift? Find what floats your boat.
Find it. Give it.
