Seeking an answer takes focused hope and optimism.

It is easy – we do it all the time.

Adopting this feeling, state of mind and tone of voice could help many other activities.

When a tennis player serves, the ball is expected to go somewhere good and to be “in”.

When you aim a comment or venture a suggestion or propose a world-changing idea, a little of this hope and positivity fuels it up to succeed in completing its journey.

Perhaps that’s why so many enjoy travel…it usually works out.

It may turn out to be true that nothing is random.
But I think the “random” chance upon a good thing does happen and is often valuable.

If everything you look for (in life or business) is prescribed, categorized and pre-selected, no room is left for that chance encounter, chance noticing of a great new thing, or a business that just started.

Perhaps the best thing about being able to search for terms and search for things we already know interest us, is to free up time for the random roll.

Everyone is finding the listed category-filler all the time. It’s easy.

But the new connection you make and create in your mind, will be the foundation of a fortune.

Although gourmet burgers and new running shoes are not usually served on the same plate, a gift of either may result in pleasure and gratitude.

The burger may taste good (it could be vegetarian or traditional, don’t you worry), the running shoes may help elevate the morning speed through the park into a feeling of high elation.

Nothing is better than the food I would design every time if I felt I wanted to spend time cooking every single day (I enjoy it sometimes, at other times I just put together something “healthy and tasty”). But I have no temptation to create a running shoe, the ones they have at the store are fine for me (provided they are made by Salomon).

Enjoy the weekend, or the week….the food or the feet!

Something can be done.

It cannot be left to the lowest common denominator, even if they are well-meaning.

Improving the level of achievement, the things that surround us, that’s worthwhile.

The problem you are seeing pop up day after day – is there a better way it could be handled, is it possible that we could see something new instead of it?

Red light is white light with other colours removed. Perhaps there’s a hint there for one subtractive solution.

Dough is flour with water added, an additive solution.

And so it goes and so it gets better.

Do. Please do.

It’s for you.

It’s from you.

We want you to.

And believe it or not, only you can and will (we hope) do it.
