Focassion

  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 ?

Happy Wisdom- Episode IV - 40 Authors Tell Us How

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...

Happy update from Time

Some some interesting points from TIME Magazine. They have had some very good articles lately http://time.com/3099180/ways-to-be-happier/ Unfortunately we all have a hereditary “happiness set point.” That means approximately 50% of our happiness is outside of our control. But that means 50% of  our level of happiness is totally within our control .

Unicorns Can Kill You!

Beware of Unicorns!   http://skia.deviantart.com/art/Unicorn-287148950 Haven't posted for a while, having chosen to contribute to  InfoQ.com .  My first time with that site and I had a great time.  I found the experience edifying. I had to do something before every company manager thought it a good idea to follow the  Bezos/Amazon employee "hunger games" model .  They're not going to get away with it; not with the feedback I've gotten. People are seeing through the "I'll work to death and maybe get rich" scheme more and more.   Again, I don't judge people who work there as long as they're being mindful about the opportunity costs of doing so.  In that vein, I've got to tell you about the dangers of unicorns.   Unicorns being the new jargon for private companies estimated to be worth over $1B USD.    First lets be honest - most startups aren't unicorns and never will be.  That's why they chose this as a met...
