The 'charity pens of justice!' went well enough but was more of a learning experiment than anything else. Also, it was a good exercise in doing and having no fear for the possibility of bad consequences coming from the unknown. I mean, really, 99% of what happens to us comes from unknown consequences so there's really no point in being afraid of the possibility of something going wrong or bad. And especially if you know you are doing the right thing,.. just do it. Fear not the consequences of doing the right thing.
So now, tho,.. we sold the charity pens of justice! (to my sister, btw, who actually, awesomely believes in me) for about ten dollars. And that rounds up to equal two hours of my time that I said I would use to make the world a better place.
So now I think, should I go pick up trash along side the road for two hours? Yes, that puts out the energy but that isn't the best I can do.
How about use the two hours to run another quasi fundraising campaign? No, I don't think that sets a good precedent. And while I need at least $100 to file to become a 501c3 charitable non profit organization that people can legitimately make donations to and therefore more money would be a step up in my process I just don't feel that it is very ethical to spend my time raising money to pay for my time to raise more money. Nope, nope, not gunna do it.
And then I had a big though! oooOOO Ya! I could spend the two hours collating my shake down analysis of Hancock Fabrics (where I work) and how crappy it is and why it is that crappy. (With pictures, and video, and audio, and legal papers, and analysis of their public records and balance sheets, and even a detailed history of the past other crappy companies the now CEO of Hancock Fabrics, Steven R. Morgan has pummeled into the dust (side note: I don't know Steven R. Morgan personally yet and so while I am criticizing him I am sure he's actually a pretty good guy and capable of doing a good job)) But...no. Nay I say, for I am not done with my analysis of Hancock Fabrics just yet and I don't want to show all of my cards before the final hand is dealt.
So then what? How about this? I have great ideas, and great energy, and once I have the Peoples' attention we are going to do some really awesome things for this world. But right now nobody gets it. So I'm going to spend two hours making the world a better place by organizing my ideas better so that some, if not all, somebodys can get what I'm trying to do. My sister sees it, my wife sees it, my friends, my co-workers, my family, they all sort of see what I'm getting at. But nobody gets it yet except me. So I'm going to work on making it into something that I not only get, but can give. (Freely and forever, no exclusions apply, unlimited possibilities, happiness, peace, love, harmony, and all that whoop-la. And while I don't hold the copy right I do have the trademark ;)
