Making Cents {*!#} No Making Sense!

July 24, 2008 · Print This Article

If ever I had something weird to report, this is it.

This title came to me from my dream this morning. The argument between “¢Cents¢” and “Sense” came from two of the judges. What was being judged was my paragraphs (these little blocks of text moving top write to bottom left to center …), as well as my dance on the dance floor. Both were being “slung around” from one spot to another spot. (I think this dream came as a direct result of watching So You think You can Dance last night for two hours, and then writing for another two hours after that.)

The one judge was saying to me it had to make “sense” to me (to win, it had to make sense). Another judge started the arguement {*!#}, no it had to make “¢” to me.

And then I woke up, and had to sort it out myself. Easy … it’s the chicken/egg dilemma. But my take on it is this:

To make “¢Cents¢” FOR you, it has to make “Sense” TO you.

Application:
For me, way too much of my llife is measured by the Cents/Hour I make. At the moment - not enough “¢Cents¢”. But the reality is that what I’m doing is the problem - it’s lacking “Sense” TO me.

Well, don’t be confused - this is truly an other-worldly message - to me, for sure, but maybe not you. Once again, it’s the same message delivered in another way that I got a few days ago. It was about “it”, now it’s about “¢Cents¢”.

What I believe the message is … The reality of the Reality Shows is that the contestants are doing what they love, they are exposed not only to a national audience and “Who You Know” Judges, but also to people we don’t know about, who can, and will help them realize their future dreams. Whether or not they make it to the top, they will still WIN! But the reason they are in this marvelous Win-Win situation in the first place is because they are doing what “makes sense” to them - dancing.

So my humble advice - don’t be like me, who has to focus on what “makes ¢Cents¢. Rather, focus as much of your life as you can on what “makes Sense ” to you. This is the way to WIN!

Writing makes sense to me … Arbonne, Dream Home, Alie James makes sense …

Ok, got it … can do it … will do it!
