• I've been quite sure about being online for a long time. So, I've been online
• I started a website, you do need a website to be online. So, I did that
• I've learned a lot building a few websites. Long hours scratching the beard, learning a lot, sometimes fast, other times veeeery slow. That's life - sometimes you work in the right direction sometimes you don't. So, I didn't panic.

Wondering where I was going, I have, as this little green guy says in Star Wars. Well, he has a point. You should wonder, but also keep your eyes open to what's coming next.

Passion is this funny thing you know what is, without always knowing it.

Connecting the dots in the brain, the right way, that's what you want. Making the necessary changes, while you learn a lot, not always understanding why, but you understand that you have to.

The closer you get to the right combination of changes of old habits, the more you see of what you really want to do in your life.

Starting a website on something you know something about, have an interest in or maybe even better, want to learn; that's a good start. All three options are good starts. The most important thing you do the first months is not to be successful (don't get me wrong, embrace it if you do), but to improve your skills to the fingertips and work regularly, make the changes, work on the site or sites and swallow every camel or elephant passing by (you need food anyway) and create those good habits of making your daily tasks, not just daily, but also passionate.

One day, you will get up in the morning and just know it. All the work that you did, was a preparation for the great moment of waking up, having that crystal clear vision of your mission in life. You found you, and since it's the real you, your passion is what get you up in the morning, your passion is what makes you tick. And YES, you were close when you started, but when you kept looking you found something even bigger. THE PASSION.

How you know?

• Every little thing you've ever wanted fits the hand as a glove.
• Everything around you work in your direction.
• Everything you ever dreamed of realizing is in your passion, because your passion is what you have always been. You just got distracted by society, friends, family, school, tv, games, and everything else except yourself.

YOU were waiting 'til you got the point. When you understand every little sentence someone told you, that never gave you any meaning, it's yourself finally understanding what direction you should have picked, but others told you something different...

It didn't matter - then. You just have to take another detour in life, to find the next hint to move yourself in the right direction.

Your Passion, is in you, if you have found it, you understand what I'm saying, if you don't understand what I say, you're getting closer. Every day you take a turn in the direction you want, you get closer. Every day you take a new action towards your goals, adjust your goals or reach some of those goals, you get closer.

Suddenly - as a strike of Lightning - You arrive at Home Base.

Ready,

with all the skills you need,

all the energy you need,

plans lasting for a lifetime or two and

you take action on it.

You don't have time to stay a second in bed when you open your eyes.

You don't have the worries you used to have.

You don't have the problems with finding the "new direction" to work on your success.

You Know your direction.

You Know you can do it.

You Know You are Ready!

Mine struck me in the middle of the night.

I woke up.

I didn't think about it, I just took the actions I had to. I still do. Every day, and I know. I was close before, now I'm there, at least parts of it. I know there will come more. My notebooks are full of what I need to work with, and I just have to time it. Success is about working in the pace you're told to, not the pace you feel is comfortable. You don't really care about comfort when you know what you want, so practice the not being so comfortable. You want it, because success loves action.

My new website is not a website yet, but a huge plan and I'm working on details, bigger pictures, different directions it can turn, several ways of making one product and creating 5 others from the one, in an hour.

I wake up having learned a new routine to put down on paper that will save me hours. I wake up having a complete arrangement ready, just having to write it down during the day, and it's good to go.

Will it be like that forever? Probably not, but this is now, and that's where I am. The future depends on it. I just love every second, even the ones that I feel is a loss of time - they are not, they are reminders of me having my passion, my goals, my plans, my skills, my love for my family, the world and everyone in it, the universe and the next universe. Everything makes sense, and I just love it.

Thank you for being you and thank you for your time, reading this.

Your Passion will find you, since you're searching.

When?

You don't know until you know, but go for it.

It's wonderful!
