The future isn't what it used to be.

Change is the only constant in life. This has always been true.

But now, change is happening at a blinding speed. In other words...

The Acceleration

Of The Acceleration

Is Accelerating!

In today's world, all a lot of people can do is hang on. And, a lot of them are lucky just to be able to do that.

One thing you've GOT to do is reduce the clutter. For example, I DO have a cell phone... but... it is always turned off... and I NEVER check my cell phone messages. I use a cell phone the way one should be used. I carry it and only use it in case of an emergency. Like, if my car breaks down or I'm way out on the ocean and something goes wrong.

I don't like to be constantly available. I need time to think once in a while.

Maybe that's also true of you.
