Focassion

By
  Focassion. 

No it's not a new moccasin or shoe.  It's not a contagious disease carried by birds.  
 
I've created this word.  I did this because I have gone on about passion in my writings and yet despite that I don't succeed in achieving them always.  

I focus on things that I'm not passionate about.  I get distracted by those things that may be practical, but don't advance my mission on earth. What I really want to do. 

So I came up on this term. Focassion.  Is it your focus and your passion? 


Focassion. It's a noun. It is the one or two things that you focus on they you really are passionate about.   

I suggest there can be at most three Focassions.  I would expect a person to spend at least and hour a day on each. 

Because your Focassion is your life.  

So what are mine ?  Right now they are...and I reserve the right to change them.  :)

My family-  this is pretty obvious. But I get a lot of growth from my family and strive to spend my time with my rapidly growing children. 

Writing/telling stories that make people hopeful. 

Technology. I just love computers and the future.  

So where is God ?    In the next segment I'll be discussing where God relates to my Focassion.  A hint -  God is the base of it all.

So...what is your Focassion ?

Are you in a Dismal Nitch? How to know and how to get out!

Recently my family and I went to visit a place called Astoria, Oregon, and had a wonderful time. There was delightful breakfast place called Pigs 'n Pancakes. We stayed in the Astoria Riverside Inn, which was wonderful, with large rooms, game systems, and a wonderful view. Yet, most of all, we were surrounded by Lewis and Clark sites.  Are You Here?   If you're not aware, the Lewis and Clark expedition started in St. Louis in the early 1800s. Those two brave gentlemen and a party of more brave gentlemen and at least one woman, Sacagawea, made their trek all the way to the Pacific coast.  On their way out to the Pacific, however, they got stuck. They got stuck here: Now you have to understand, these guys were tough.  Stopping them wasn't easy.  Yet, so close to the ocean, they get stuck in this little outcropping.   Here's how he describes it: Rain soaked the expedition party that night, and it continued at intervals throughout...

Happy Wisdom Patterns

By
From software development and prior to that architecture, learned people have leveraged the power of patterns.  Patterns are structures of learning that can be applied to achieve consistent results.  For architecture its perhaps the golden mean, the mechanisms to create a bridge. In software , my favorite was MVC or model-view-controller .  This is states that User interface must be separate from the data, and from the control ( business logic or execution) .   I've seen folks not follow this pattern and then find themselves updating all three layers of software for changes that otherwise would have been simple had they followed the pattern. Thus we must ask if Happiness has a pattern, if happy wisdom, the two combine, have certain approaches that would glean greater success than just going it in a haphazard sort of way.   Of course I propose there are.   Before I get into the first few, lets discuss why these are not rules or laws .  The trou...

Happy Wisdom- Episode IV - 40 Authors Tell Us How

By
I'm So Happy! A brilliant little gem here  from the excellent site Short  List  Authors on Happiness Basically all of these are funny and pithy, but here are my three favs. "The supreme happiness of life consists in the conviction that one is loved; loved for one's own sake -- let us say rather, loved in spite of one's self." - Victor Hugo “If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”  - ROALD DAHL “I should like to bury something precious in every place where I've been happy and then, when I'm old and ugly and miserable, I could come back and dig it up and remember.” - EVELYN WAUGH I'm particularly fond of the last one. Think about storing those happy places somewhere in your life. Maybe take a picture of that yummy dish. Or that yummy person.  Its not just going to the Super Bowl, but all the little steps towards it.  Store these things  in your heart, on line or in a n...
