Life Changes

Today, I was watching SpongeBob with my 3-year-old. Mr. Krabbs wanted to open his restaurant for 24 hours. Mr. Plankton, his competitor, told him there is no way that it could happen. He said you won't have the customers to support it and your employees won't be able to do it. YOU'RE CRAZY!! And of course, Squidward didn't want to work the hours that he already had. SpongeBob, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get started.


How many times have we heard something that we didn't think could possibly happen and it happened, and it was successful. For example, Wal-Mart when it came into town and eventually grew bigger and bigger and opened 24 hours. The littler stores didn't think and hoped it would not happen. Why did it happen? Manpower, support, creative thinking and faith.


Does anyone remember not having a cell phone in their vehicle or at their side at all times? It wasn't just too many years ago. I remember driving an hour on the weekends to come home from college without a phone and didn't know that it was dangerous. If I would have a flat tire, if there was an accident or if I just needed directions I would have to find a quarter AND a phone booth. Even thinking about the growth of the phone from the wooden box phone to call a switchboard, from the rotary phone, push button phone, big bag cell phone to the tiny cell phones with cameras and MP3 players that we have now. Geniuses among us.


I don't know a whole lot about politics, but the rumor is that in the future we are to be compared with smaller countries that live with less. The goal is to have trains and buses as our main means of transportation. Cars will be seen less and less. When I first heard this idea I disregarded it and did not believe it. I gradually thought about it and realized the money used to "save the world" has to come back around sooner or later; taxing things that we are not familar with. I don't know where this is going to lead or how true it even is, but it makes a person think about what we have and how are we going to use it to better ourselves, our family, neighbors and economy.


The whole point to this blog is to never say never. Could you imagine if we all used our inner intuitive for the better and was a part of the inventions available to us now that we never thought would happen. I am a person who likes to think outside the box, but have a hard time making it happen. We can make it through if we all used our inner intuitive to help ourselves and each other.
