What Is One Dollar Worth To You?

What does one dollar buy today? 

For everyone, less than what it could buy twelve months ago. We live in an economy with inflation, cost of living rises, and unemployment.

Add to that, job insecurity, downsizing, and offshore job relocation.

So it is no wonder we are preoccupied with survival. Getting by from paycheck to paycheck. 

And for many, trying to struggle with, more month than money.

No doubt you've heard, "if I could just come up with one good idea." And many have. Even you have been thinking of an idea. And six months later there it is on the shelf of a supermarket, in a newspaper or a social media news feed.

"That's my Idea!"... and somebody else has put it in front of you, to your bewilderment. You see, it's been estimated. That some twenty-six people in the world are thinking of the same idea at the same time. But one person acted on that idea.

It's the same for three frogs sitting on a log. One decides to jump. How many frogs are now sitting on the log?

Three. One of the frogs decided to jump. But until the frog actually, jumps, there are still three frogs on the log.

Getting back to that one idea. Yes, and, if only you had the time. That little one dollar idea that could make all the difference to your life and your world.

Just the same as the one person of the twenty-six, you need to act. Not on stage. Take action.

All those ideas that pop into your head.

Don't just make a mental note, thinking you will save it for later. And at the same time giving yourself some self-indulging importance of how clever you are. 

You need to take action. And write them down, as they pop into your head. Otherwise, they drift onto someone else and are gone forever.

I don't know how true it is, that everyone has a million-dollar idea in them. Maybe they do. Only you know for you. And if you were to continually ask yourself, what million-dollar idea can I come up with. You might surprise yourself.

By also thinking, what can I do with one dollar, this really stretches your imagination. Tests your creativity.

With the business of living and making ends meet. Give yourself some time every week. 

Quiet time, on your own and just let your mind wander. Of course, with pen and paper. You never know where this may lead. And it gives you time to cultivate an idea you've been thinking of. And you have that pen and paper handy.

Those are basically all the tools you need.

Your free and open mind, pen and paper.

Take a look at this website, it is simple, clear and uncluttered. It is, simply, an idea.
