Distraction and I are bosom buddies, not an hour goes by where I don't lose sight of what I should be doing, and inadvertently end up following another unrelated course.

Let's for example, use today to illustration the process...my 'game plan' was to 'catch up' on some much needed reading to complete a task that had been placed on hold by me, weeks ago.

So, what do I do...well, while reading some text and in order to get a fuller understanding of the subject I was reviewing...I followed links within the document.

Okay, I don't know how I arrived at the following HubPage...but the article was so captivating that I felt compelled to scribble down some thoughts that had 'popped up' after reading the page.  The subject matter was just too informative, vital and uplifting to ignore.

This author's passage 'struck a chord' and instantly I knew for many this could be 'food for thought', the gentle nudge that might be needed by someone to continue following a path that he/she might be on the verge of abandoning.

Many of us...myself included...have pursued different projects throughout our lives, that in some instances went completely south...and in it's wake left a very bruised, and  disillusioned soul.

Some of us have never, ever received a word of encouragement, support or a heartfelt 'Hey, I like what you got going on'...from anyone.  And for other's, the one's that are closest to us, have been the cruelest critics.

Well, revmjm composed a HubPage that I personally need to enlarge and plaster on the walls in every room of my house.  As a reminder, that the world's 'Greatest Minds' greatest triumph were not only the accomplishments that they finally received recognition for during their lives or unfortunately, sometimes long after they had died, yes...those...but the qualities that are apparently inherent in their psyche.

Passion, determination, a driven personality...that knew the path that they followed was the path that defined who they were.

Anyway, please read this...guaranteed it will make your day.
