Its all about the benjamins, not the benjamins!

  1. The title sounds wierd but it is apt to the letter to what i am going to write..! I am no pro a writer neither a blogger but have all out passion to play with words just as well as Mr Coelho would have had when he started his writing voyage...(Brag on..!).I have always been wanted to write (i never said blog..huh!)but never knew how to start.Somebody had quoted " if you want to be a writer, write".Its so simple a logic and a fact at the sametime. The most beautiful part of being a writer is you need no capital, no licence, no employees, no plan, no qualification to write...you just have to write and write it out from your heart.Ah..here comes the twist..to write it out from your heart...does the harsh realities of the current times leave our heart , our soul with the courage, strength and guts to follow our inner calling.Did you say yes...?? But for those who had a plain No, this is no motivational writeup which will bring you closer to your calling (unless its your cell phone..;-)). Its an account of my own story to pickup the ink and blaze the path with unconventional wisdom. I am not here to tell you what all to do find out what gives you kick, you are all enlightened individulas when it comes to find out where your passion lies. But most of us falter when we get into the stuckzone where we think the only way to follow our passion is to make that our living and that we have to be world's best in it. Is pursuing passion all about that..making money and being best in trade?And so thinking that the passion will not fetch the Benjamins or that we are not skilled enough to fetch Benjamins,we never start working on the gifts which we possess. I could write today because i let go the feeling that i have to make money from my writing or that i have to be the best. I simply wrote because it was like breathing to me (an articulate one though..!). And what made to do this...my best friend, the "unconventinal wisdom". You too have it, close to you, it's the you which denies to follow the crowd, the convention and reminds you that you can shine in your own unique way.So what are you waiting for...blaze the path where your unconventinal wisdom takes you..! Though i now write simply as an expression of my persona...i still aspire to make living out of my writings..!Hey.. no harm in that..as long as it is not stopping me from expressing the authentic me. Afterall it's all about the Benjamins, not the Benjamins..!! Cheers, Unconventional wisdom and the ink! P.S.: Benjamin is the ecuadorian slang for money!! :)
