It's The Real Thing 30

1. Clearly it’s not cola;
2. sugar, water, vegetable matter and colouring?
3. I don’t think so.
4. No. No way.
5. A pair of original Levi 501s?
6. Nice. But no.
7. ‘Real’ India?
8. Nope.
9. Hand-made cannelloni in Luigi’s café down a back-street near the station in Milan?
10. Naaah.
11. The real thing is you.
12. Unleashed.
13. No more messing…
14. A fear managed
15. A fear harnessed.
16. Of what people might say?
17. (Those who actually count: cool, wish I’d done that…)
18. Of getting it wrong?
19. (Only way to learn)
20. Of the sacrifice?
21. (That’s the giving up of the relative for the absolute)
22. Of security?
23. (Being you is the only security)
24. It’s a run...
25. Then a workout...
26. A shower..
27. A notebook, writing and a plan...
28. A clear determined unstoppable focus...
29. A bold step.
30. That’s the real thing.

Slice of Time

There is a slice of time during which you can get the World to yourself. No e-mail. No texts. No noise. No children-love them as you do. No girlfriend whispering sweet nothings in your ear-adorable as that is. You've got to find that slice of time. It may be late, perhaps very late. Or early. Possibly ridiculously early. But it's the time when you create, when you do the stuff you're on Planet Earth to do. Lead, write, help, knit, teach, repair, cook. Who knows? You do. It's got to be done. Without that talent of yours, Planet Earth loses out big time. And you're left worrying about trivia such as where are your car keys?

Find that slice of time.
