Happy Evolution Day!

Posted by Trisha Wagner on November 24, 2008

Evolution Day celebrates the anniversary of the first publication of origin of the species by Charles Darwin. I’m sure you are all aware of the theory of natural selection, I could go into a lengthy dissertation of this theory but I’m sure it would launch a long and drawn out bout of comments that I’m simply not up to discussing at this time =) However, I wouldn’t mind giving you an update on the EVOLUTION of my upcoming business endeavors.

As Tish mentioned in a previous post, things have been busy, busy, busy these last few days. Thus the title of the post today, I am simply without a thought in my head. But in this case, it is for good reason. I do not usually do as much writing as a fulltime freelance writer simply because….well I don’t have that many clients just yet. I have extra hours of work each week and the amount of writing varies. I’m happy to say that within the last two weeks the amount of writing or opportunities to write have increased and with that so has my brain production. Unfortuately just as with other things when there is a spike in productivity it is generally followed by a dip in productivity…….thus the trouble conjuring up a thought. I will say there is extreme satisfaction in having the dip after getting work done versus just feeling like a dip with no completed projects to look back on.

For a small period of time I was just floating along, earning extra money and thinking about how things will change in 37 days soon. I am happy that my juggling act will soon be over, or at least the type of work that I am juggling. As the countdown begins, I am having second and third thoughts, but they only last about a nan0 second before I’m sure that I’m starting the best adventure of my life. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared….I think I’ve used the word “terrified” in previous posts. Of course I am, this is a whole new ball game for me and I’m taking a chance with the hopes my life will improve. Sometimes you have to take that chance or else you will never know what you capable of accomplishing.

Darwin’s theory translated very loosely suggests survival of the fittest. Am I fit enough to survive as a business owner? Am I jumping on a leap of faith? I think I have what it takes to make it. How about you? Are you content with how your life is evolving and are you doing everything you can to make the most out of each day?
