Once upon a time, a dream filled my mind, to walk through life with a willingness to literally shed the clothes from my back. Can you imagine doing that?

It seemed like a bold tactic for enticing potential audiences to come hither, further. As time pressed onward, the Law of Attraction demonstrated that you can only fill up an empty cup.

Knowing this has made it much easier for me to give away stuff.

Looking through a fully stuffed closet the realization was made, that it contained, three jackets too many.

Having three (for me) means missing the ONE that’s just right. Goldilocks.

Shortly after, an invitation arrived to step out on the town. And, ThisThor loves to get dressed up & go all out.

It’s true that my velvet dress coat was an eye catching sage green, but the shoulder’s just didn’t quite fit me. Wearing it impeded my upon my desire to move about freely. One bold gesture & it might bust at the seams!

Practicing Listening makes the messages Louder to hear.

So when young Lady named Raven, stepped over to me at the end of the party, gushing excitedly about my coat, my ears perked up quickly.

This was the Perfect Opportunity.

…

I was ready to relinquish into her possession most definitely, no question.

In her acceptance of this gift, Raven taught me a valuable lesson. She showed me, something that I had been working on: the difficulty with simply accepting!

I mean, c’mon how often is someone actually willing to hand you the coat right off of their back. We’ve been programmed to believe that to Give is better than to Receive. Furthermore, to receive freely could give off the impression that we are greedy. Even if the other person is offering.

To make herself feel better, Raven provided the perfect counter offer! A truly inspiring work of art, that arrived in my life, just in time.

Raven’s methods and aspects of inclusion, are in-line with the very direction that I’ve been considering taking mine.

Because even the best of ideas need motivation for making the leap into reality.

This fills me with glee!! And, to think that I never would have received this priceless gift, had I been greedy, about something that doesn’t even suit me.

Appreciated here is the brief summation of the text.

A very important aspect in the realm of “Introduction.”

Here is what we will be diving into. Does this material captivate interest within you?

This particular piece is from a Mythology text book used by DePaul University.

Chosen as INSPIRATIONAL MATERIAL for my pet project The Smile Daily.

A good speech or paper goes like this:

This is what I’m going to tell you

Listen to me. Now I’m telling you

Here is a brief summary of what I just told you

BAM!!

On another note: it is both wise & beneficial to pull inspiration from a plethora of sources. Even better to grab it from unexpected places. Go for those that don’t exactly “meet up” with your subject matter.

Let’s elaborate this point: Your business has to do with bottle tops. While out on the town you see signage for tacos. Something in the verbage makes you say “Ah ha!” I can really connect to my customer with that. Grab that juicy nugget and use it to your advantage.

It’s actually builds a more solid foundation for long-term success to grab what works from different areas which do not exactly fall in the same criteria as your product. Essentially, Think Outside the Box.

Keeping it authentic creates product differentiation.

OWN IT!!

May the Force be with you!!
