Every once in a great while something aligns the planets for me and I gain real insight into my life. This weekend was one of those times. This is what I learned about me.

1. Time is money, and it has value even if it isn't in the form of a paycheck. I volunteer at the Downtown Fencing Club. Were I getting paid, a coach of my level could expect a certain level of pay. If I were a better coach, I could expect more. That time has value and should never be ignored or encroached upon. I have a valuable service to perform.

2. Of all of the stuff I have collected over the years I only use about 20% of it. The rest of it is just junk taking up space. It is time for me ditch all that junk and find out where I am in the here and now. Looks like I'll be opening up an ebay account, and taking some books over to Ed Mcays.

3. I am not writing the book I am supposed to be writing right now. I should write it because it is there, but I have something else I need to write first. Once the useless 80% of my stuff is out of my life there will be more room in my life for the pages that are trying to get out. But there is a deadline.

Now that I have this new insight I am committed to make good on it. Its my choice.
