My first thoughts

So these were my thoughts Tuesday morning on my way to work, after having found out about my layoff the day before:

The landmark engine is still there, buried under piles of complacencies over the years. Nothing like a challange to make things a bit more interesting.
In my conversation with Barbara the other night about her job, I realize that there are something missing from my life, the sense that I am helping some one and making a difference. My job was not supplying that. I was solving problems and making things happen. But there was not the sense that I was making a differences in some one's life.
Being on my own, I now have the means as well as the responsibility to full fill these aspects of my life.
I will have to Operate as a business entity,which means covering the varies aspects of the business; marketing, research, investment and philanthropy. Few of these might seem strange to consider at time like this, philanthropy? But I firmly believes (as burrowed from tony robin) that a person's strength directly relates to his abilities to give. And in time like these, it is all that more important to give, when it is needed the most.
But enough with the jibber jabber, it's time to get something done.
Oh, also. Speaking to my future self, it is terribly important to stay focused, organized and diciplined. Regular work hours should be maintained and I need to manage each aspect of my business as a project and develop a plan and schedule for it.
