October Perspective



     It often occurs to me that after 20 years of Internet activity I must have built a mountain of data in the cloud.  Were it to be amassed in one place it might actually be at least a foothill.  Interestingly, it exists in accounts, blogs, submissions, replies and queries in a vest number of locations across cyberspace.
     What would be the purpose of stacking it all up?  Is it worth the effort of attempting to collect it all?  Whom would be the recipient of such a quantity of data?  Where would I put it?  When would it be needed or wanted?  Is it even possible to do?
     It is said that the creation of an online presence requires consistency and an identity.  My cyber inputs vary from regularly recurring to intermittent offerings to absolute absenteeism.  Whenever I create a post or spend time on a site my intentions are good.  My interest level is high, there is true enjoyment and a real sense of satisfaction for the work.  The more time I spend on a concept the greater the value becomes for me.  Honestly, in review I must say that the Internet has been my constant companion for more than two decades.
     Today, I post these thoughts with the intention of adding to my presence, identity, brand and continuing my personal development and education.  Ultimately from the effort expended growth is always the result.  Recognizing and appreciating this allows me the experience of joy, trust and hope.  Onward and upward!
