Well, I've been full of activity this week.
I'm not sure that my activity has been entirely focused in a coherent direction. I'm diving into the French lessons, I'm engaged in writing Toastmasters speeches about technology in order to transform them into YouTube videos. I haven't been pursuing the yoga jobs yet, but I may start to do so this afternoon.
My instincts are telling me that these activities are all headed in a good direction. I'm figuring out ways of getting employed in ways that will allow the lifestyle I'm after.
The fact that my expenses are so low buys me both some time and some long-term options. I only need one option to work out, and I only need it to work out a little bit to gain some financial security. So maybe my strategy is coherent after all. Time will tell.
As an aside, I came across my new favourite internet video. I spend a lot of time thinking about world peace--especially as I consider what a robot war in the 2020's might look like (not fun, to put it mildly). So I did a search for "Google Talks World Peace" and found this (although the link is a TED link and not a Google Talk):
This video is inspirational in a special way, and I am feeling dedicated to helping our species win the World Peace Game for real.
As a random guy in Edmonton, I may not have the pull of, say, a leader of the armed forces in the United States or a UN diplomat. But I can still participate. In fact, the internet is making individuals more powerful than ever. I can use that power to spread positive messages, like the important lessons that John Hunter is cultivating in his classroom. Because I think we win the game when everyone, including ordinary people like me, play to win.
