Don’t Work, Crank

Always Lean Forward

I looked up the word crank and one definition is a person who has unusual or eccentric ideas and opinions, especially ones that are strongly held. This is the way you want to approach life. Don’t just be another follower take your life and run with it and be the person you really want to be.

Full Steam Ahead

And then crank life out like it only belonged to you. Then and only then will all the forces of the universe be at your disposal. All too often we lean back and just follow the trail that has been most traveled and don’t experience the challenge and thrill of making a new path never traveled before.

Be True to Yourself

The new path is the one that has no footsteps in it. And when you walk on it will not show you by signs where it leads to. Thus you must follow you intuition and instincts to lead you where you want to go. True it may lead to failure, but no person really fails by trying; failing only happens when you don’t try.

Pushing Always Favors the Pusher

You may not find what your looking for, but you will find results and results are successes yet to be brought to the light of day. It always amazes me what results come of doing something new. And that newness may soon find a purpose in the scheme of things. So learning new things is always useful in trying to climb the ladder of success.

Substance Comes Later

So never see failure when something new doesn’t produce the results your looking for. In time most things work out and the value of what you have becomes apparent and success is achieved. What has no value today can become the great value of tomorrow. So just crank and then observe how it feels and wait for the thought to grow to maturity. Everything has value it just takes time to grow.

So don’t throw the baby out with the wash, just because the water is dirty.
