Some time we have to take a step back to see the bigger picture

In my last posting I was moving on, that was the intension, but…life has done it to me again. Threw me a curve ball sot of speak, shortly after Jan 13 I was laid off with a severance after 22 years with the company. You could imagine my response, at first anger and blaming economy did not work. I also seriously though a conspiracy was the notion with my counter part in the U.S. “take care of their own” before the talented Canadians. With that all aside now I have weathered the storm and matured with little remorse, in fact I am looking at this as an opportunity to investigate my potential in living my hobby instead of living someone else’s lifestyle. What I mean by that is to possibly make a living in doing the thing I love to do. Since my lay off I have done little and have been exploring my inner self. This had gone several stages of denial and attempting to change the course of my present dilemma. Believe it; I am still working at it. I had six months now of not working for someone else, what a treat, not to have the hustle and bustle of getting to someone else office and work for them, but there is a down side of this. The end of my settlements money will be running out soon and I will have to make a commitment with finding a way to satisfy paying my bills once more.

I am still seeking for the field of dreams. I have entertained the idea to start a business for myself in designing RC and selling the product. This proves to be a challenging and not very lucrative lifestyle, but it would be fun. I am working on a business plan to pursuit this, it is slow going. My other choice is to go back as a free lance design draftsman and hope I encounter the people in my future paths and discover new interests that may promote in participating in my endeavours with my dreams.

Well what have I done since last… not much… “You reap what you sow” this worries me now. Since I have not done much it is time to change all that. I feel I have wasted all that time. The truth is not far from that, but what I have done is of substantial advancement that will play a large part in future development, matter of fact I learned new things and will begin to implement them.

Some time we have to take a step back to see the bigger picture to continue the journey ahead. I look forward to the journey ahead with all the new challenges it offers.

First action I will take the time to update the BetterFly.ca site with what was done last year in the development of the experimental planes I have been working on. Then investigate new technologies with WEB development to improve the process of promoting my findings and networking with others out there in the same interest. I have a knack of wondering around and dabbling into too many things at once and this will have to narrow down to focus on the current projects to satisfactory conclusions. That is the first order of the plan for now.
