Ten

When I was ten, I wrote a plan for the government on how to improve things ranging from healthcare to protecting animals and habitats to designing small things that people could use every day. It was an informal business plan with a lot of my ideas.

I am happy to say I am finally doing that again. This time I will actually share it. It is on different things now and also some of my earlier ideas. It's a WHOLE LOT OF FUN!

It is wonderful to use your brain creatively and thoughtfully. I do this with my best friend always and he does that always on his own. It is a wonderful thing and deeply inspiring.

My mom has raised me to care a lot for other people since I was a little girl. It is living with a conscience. :) I am happy though to put that to use finally in a bigger way. Really, it is just the start!

Your Frustration, Your Opportunity

There are many things in daily life that can be better, whether it is the app you are using for directions or the packaging your product just arrived in or the car you're driving.

What people complain about or what you feel frustrated with ----> is your opportunity.

Imagine it the way you want. Then go and build it. Today it's easier than ever to do that. Still takes work but there are people to help in any areas you need assistance with and the fact that the cost of manufacturing and distribution have gone down so much while accessibility has spread like wildfire only leads to one conclusion.

This is the time where ideas come alive. It will only increasingly become so.

Aah, so now we get to really figure out what it is to be human - what distinguishes us in a GOOD WAY. Is it our ability to create? Is it our ability to help others, to empathize? Is it to invent new solutions to problems we face? Is it to expand possibilities, explore new frontiers and grow in new, unprecedented ways?

Possibly. All of the above. Let's find out. :)
