An Existential Crisis??
It’s Wednesday today and yep… the learning never stops, y’know?
Yesterday, I had a slight existential crisis regarding the state of, well, everything in the USA. You see, I was raised to believe that people for the most part had really good intentions (stop laughing, I already know how naïve that truly is 🙂 ).
After a good nights’ sleep, however, I was able to zero in on one particular hard-won truth:
Focus on what you can *personally* affect.
If you start worrying about stuff that’s ‘waaaay above your paygrade, all you will do is see time you *could* have dedicated to profiting online getting wasted by agonizing about reality.
So. What can *you* personally affect in a positive way?
What I chose to do was cheer up my friends who I knew were going thru a hard time by creating digital art to send them (failing that, I always resort to memes). This always creates a smile and a smile, I will tell you, is just plain *gold*.

And don’t forget:
Our Public Service Message: Beware The News!
Picture this: you create a viral video about a fossilized clam, and depending on the news outlet, the story spins in wildly different directions! Is it a space alien? Was it planted by Purple People Eater Peace? Is its first cousin a Pet Rock?
Well… Want to see the media’s spin tricks in right before your eyes? Visit AllSides.com … or you can find every take simply by searching here!
I’d like to encourage you to look into what *everyone* is saying, so you have knowledge of what’s being spread:
And about business?
Our Other PSA!
You might NOT be a boomer (‘course, you might be)…
But you might be experiencing:
- Anxiety/depression
- Decrease in motivation (hello self!)
- Increase in irritation due to the world’s current status
- Physical/mental/emotional challenge
And that’s why you’re going to want to ensure you stay subscribed to me.
Because, unlike the VAST majority of marketers you’ll see out there…
I admit it when things go bad (as you can see above! 
)
My health could be ‘way better, my drive could be ‘way better, heck… *I* could be way better!
But so long as there’s breath within my body… I will keep fighting.
Join me?
Remember, while reinventing, I’m going to section out my audience like so:
- Beginners
- Advanced
- Folks going thru Anxiety/Depression/Growing Bolder/etc.
Stay tuned!
Plus…
I’ll be moving the backend publication to another provider.
