Dien,

Thanks for bringing up Systemetising.

I think there is something More Important at play than creating Systems. And that is Doing What You Enjoy.

Regardless of how we word it or otherwise, we all exchange our time for money. Some of us get more money for our time than others. That's just the way of things.

That being the case, it is Better to Do Something You Enjoy for money than something that Other People think well of. Even if that means Getting a Job. Your Mental Relief is Paramount. And something we discussed here previously - quitting a job to get a menial not-paid-to-think job instead. People Look Down on such workers. But Mentally, I hazard to say, they are Happier because they are NOT Keeping Up With The Joneses.

This is something (a journey, if you want to call it that) I've been putting into action since February. I had a Goal. Something I Wanted to Achieve. And I LET things happen, followed the Flow, and through a series of coincidences, have arrived where I intended. Enjoying the journey along the way and meeting Interesting People throughout. (I wrote a Journal entry on my computer on a Daily Basis and found it quite enjoyable as well.)

So While Woody COULD create a System and Keep things he previously had, he just might not want to. He may have Outgrown those things. Or just doesn't get the same Kick out of them as he used to. Or whatever Other Reason HE has. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

When I took my first steps a friend of mine said to me, "I wish I had your courage." Though, I didn't think it took Courage to do it. What it did take was... a lack of concern. To be free of concern of how things will turn out. A "Don't Care Attitude" if you will. A "Come What May" stance. Let the chips fall how they will fall. Take your pick. Then, you are Mentally Free to begin.

Woody, welcome to the Do What You Want club. You'll enjoy the trip. Thoroughly.

P.S. The "Do What You Enjoy" mantra has More Depth to it than "follow your hobby" or the usual jibble. And is Worthy of more discussion, if anyone's up for it.
