Breaking My Own Scale?
A very long time ago I wrote a poem called, "What Is A?" or "A," now I'm not sure what the title is. With so little of it committed to my memory and without access to at this time as I wait here at a local Starbucks for my business partner and friend, Tony Pablo, there is a verse I do remember that stands on it's own and is antonymous to the point of this blog, yet at some level strikes some interesting parallels:
These poems I write, I give much meaning; there are thoughts not weighed, only to fail. These poems I write, are to one side leaning; there are too many people breaking my scale.
I know that my success is ultimately up to me, yet at the same time there are certain aspects from which there is much to be gained with the participation others. What I meant in the verse is that when people don't even try to understand, then the meaning fails in it's purpose to make a connection with the reader. In this business of Internet marketing, and even in creative writing; but to a lesser extent, in order to make it work I can be independent but not an Island onto myself. In writing, feedback from others, corrections by editors, the physical creation of the work by the publisher, and the success in advertising by the marketers, I cannot do it completely alone. In Internet marketing, the system I use was created by David Sharpe and Dave Wood, along with the tools in Empower Network, any software I use to drive more traffic, the placement of ads on other sites, my solicitations in chat rooms, blogs on Face Book, etc., all require in varying degrees and to different extents the achievements of and the interplay with, all of the people directly involved. Sometimes I feel lost in a sea of so many faces of both those who refuse to step out of their comfort zones by taking the risks and making the efforts essential for both financial and personal growth; and those who are in the game, attempting the same acquisitions on a parallel road, long and winding, riddled with the same obstacles, and as both my competitors and companions, go with more or less determination than I. Interesting it is that in such trials and tribulations that test the resolve of one's soul from the simple desire to improve upon his lot in life in the long term, that there really is no easy way, no short cuts but those that short cut the inner joy of honest accomplishment. There is no way around it, the path to the complete fulfillment of true happiness is a long and difficult one, as it should be.
