I chose to sleep

Last night I had a very clever idea. This idea actually excited me to the point where I had difficulty sleeping. However this morning that idea is gone lost into the nether. I can not stand it. I’m actually depressed by it. Unfortunately this scenario is all too common and makes me wonder why. For one why does inspiration seem to hit in the twilight hours before sleep but after lucidity. Also, what can be done to capitalize on these insights? If I can remember that I had the idea I should be able to capture the specifics.

2 tips that I think can be helpful would be to include a notepad or a journal next to the bed for instant availability. However the note pad by the bed always made me feel that it gave a “Holiday Inn” feel to the décor, when it should be your cave of solitude and serenity. The biggest tip I can give for how to counteract idea forgetting is to simply act on it. In fact I think that’s what separates people in a variety of ways. It simply boils down to those who act and those who don’t. Last night I made a conscious choice to sleep.

When you eat your breakfast look at your eggs and bacon and think, “the chicken was involved but the pig was committed.” In life what will you be the chicken or the pig? Then laugh because either way you’re going to be eating a better breakfast than the majority of third world will ever see. Damn it feels good to be a gangster!!!!
