Only The Positive
This is my new motto
This is my new way to look at life
This is how I need to live
All sorts of books have been inspiring me lately. The latest one is There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem by Wayne W. Dyer. It really pulls together so many concepts that I have already encountered in other readings and teachings. Not as much meat to it as I had hoped for. A bit more theory than practical. But an excellent reminder to myself none the less.
I started some information over on these two HubPages. So this is the start to pulling it all in together.

So my current tribes in action include
* Gaming Working doing some advertising for this online game magazine www.weredragonmag.com
* Looking into what it might take to create a Foundation to seek out funding and aid in grant making as well
* Working to start a Community to improve the overall life in a distributed fashion among people with the same hobby as me
* Considering starting up a non-profit. Not sure if it will be an incorporated one or not. Still deciding if I will or will not do so.
Those are the highlights at this time.

It begins. I broached the idea to my wife last night. The one of me starting up a non-profit. Finally she said to me, to stop talking about it. Kinda funny. So today I grabbed sample Charter and Declaration of Trust from the IRS site, So I have started editing it for me. I sent an email off to the State Department asking a few questions, calling the City Government tomorrow to find out what they say. Not sure if I file for IRS first, the State, then City or what is the correct order.
But I have begun my voyage to becoming a non-profit and helping others more than just on my own.
More as it develops.

This blog post of his states just what I was thinking watching the city Christmas Parade the other night.

This illustrates exactly what my next set of Hubs and what my next tirade and focus is going to be on.
How we as consumers, average people, common folk can do working together to negate and mitigate the issues caused today by modern sensibilities that are not very sensible.

Years ago when the Internet was young, I read somewhere that the different groups of people were like Tribes. At least 10 years ago the first Social Networking site was Tribe.net sitting over at http://www.tribe.net. It is still around as I found out tonight in fact.
Existing Tribes I associate myself with (major interests) Adding to the ones I started with already include Philanthropy / Helping out my fellow man Job Hunting / Job Sites / Internet Recruiting efforts Existing Tribes I could associate myself with (smaller interests) I have a huge array of things that actually interest me, as well as activities I have done in the past that I could affiliate with if I re-sparked my own interest The Tribes I am focusing on, to aid in leading I can get very spread out, I definitely can bite off a lot more than I can chew. So I am going to start to narrow, to focus, to sharpen the focus, so I can be more effective. Long have I been a multi-tasker. I usually succeed very well at it as well. But in the spirit of one of the new inspirations for my life, work, habits, time to reduce the multi-tasking down to a more Single Tasking, or Focused Tasking as I shall call it mentality.
So what is The Tribe you belong to? What drives you? What, as I read in an inspirational type message the other, What is it you cannot go a day without thinking about?
That is your Tribe. That is where you belong. That is what drives you and what you should focus and lead on.
So Tell Me What your Tribe Is!
