When is the Time to Go for it?

Now is the best time to just go for it.

Why is now the best time to go for it? Because now is the only real time that exists.

This moment, here and now, is the most real moment there is. All other aspects of time are, as Einstein long ago pointed out, merely an illusion.

Go for it One of the things I have been working on is being more present in the now. Like most people, I get caught up in old, unnecessary angst and depression about the past; and on the other side of the same coin, I get concerned about the unknown, what it may hold, and the unnecessary fears and anxiety about the future.

The past has passed, and cannot be changed. The future is ahead, and fretting over it is equally pointless. But in the here-and-now, in this moment, I am capable of creating some pretty amazing shit for my life.

Of course, change, even that which I am choosing, it a bit scary.

Last week I wrote about choosing change or just being a pawn of change. Since change is inevitable, I would rather choose to control it as much as I can.

I also wrote about a new project I am working on. Podcasting. This is something I have a limited knowledge base about, but that I’m aware can be useful on a number of different levels. I am setting a whole bunch of different cogs in motion to get this show on the road, and it is rather scary.

This is not something I’ve done before. It is different from writing and publishing, because I’m not certain about my audience. This has to be topical, interesting, and worthwhile to draw listeners. Something new. I need to not fear, and go for it.

Go for it now. What if there is no later?

Life is unpredictable. No matter how stable anything seems now, it can all change in an instant. Almost nineteen years ago I left my apartment to walk to the post office…only to wake up in hospital a week later, wondering how I got there, why my leg was in traction, and why my right arm didn’t want to work.

I was struck by a car crossing a busy street, and it would forever change my life. Yes, I fully recovered, but I have an interesting looking, scarred leg…and titanium plates that hold my right clavicle together. It was, however, from this point that I began to understand what has become the key element to my life philosophy: Consciousness creates reality.

I blog about this twice a week (and the previously mentioned accident, in addition to twenty-five-plus years of participation in the SCA, are why I refer to myself as the Titanium Don). Delving into the why, how, and more about this concept has been life-altering, in the best ways.

I want to share that further. To take it to the next level, podcasting is on the horizon.

I’ve been studying the elements that make-up a podcast. I have a title – Awareness for Everyone. There is a subtitle – A Podcast about Conscious Reality Creation, and living the best lives we can for ourselves. Learning that it’s best not to script a podcast, I have begun outlining the first five episodes. These will be, based on what I have learned, between 15 and 25 minutes long.

It also came to my attention that I will need music for the intro and conclusion. Further, I’ll need art for the podcast itself.

Intentional action: I work to go for it

Rather than wait until everything else was ready, I turned to my friend and very talented artist Fe Mahoney. Fe is a clever, fun person, and I think she’s an amazing artist. In just two days, we went from my flimsy, terribly drawn outline idea to this amazing work of art I am sharing here.

Taking this intentional action and commissioning this art is part of the commitment to go for it, and truly launch the podcast. I’m going to practice recording, to be aware of the levels and other elements that go into making it sound good.

What will this lead to? I can see a lot of different possibilities. It could increase book sales. This might help me launch a speaking career. It’s not outside of the realm of possibility I develop a life-coaching option, helping others to better consciously create reality and manifest the lives they desire. This has the potential to open a lot of doors, and that is way outside of my comfort zones, and super scary.

But I have decided I desire more from my life. I love writing, and want to see my works, whether fiction or non-fiction, inspire and become bestsellers. Most of all, I want to help people. There is so much negativity, and so many messages of lack and scarcity working to disempower us all.

I want to share means to step away from that, stop the bombardment, and recognize that we live in an abundant universe, can empower ourselves, and choose happier, better choices.

Yes, I’m also aware that there are some who may see this entire notion as out there. Nuts. Possibly utterly wack-a-doo. That’s your call. I believe this is my calling…and I am going to go for it, and answer that call.
