The Mayans Were Probably Right After All

by Cheval John

Suupposedly, the Mayans predicted that on December 21, 2012, the world will come to an end.

Well, they were wrong.

With the writing of this article, we are still here and alive.

But, they were probably right on a few things on my part.

First, today marks the end of worrying about what other people think, being afraid of taking a risk and doing what I love: writing.

Over the last few years, I’ve been reading books that have allowed me to do things that I never would have imagined.

Books like “The Four Hour WorkWeek” by Timothy Ferris, “Rework” by 37Signals, and “The Education of Millionaires” by Michael Ellsberg.

Each have very important advice that makes a person believe that they can do what they have been longing to do for a long time and make a living at it.

In addition, they destroy the perceived thinking about taking a risk, what marketing is all about, and much more.

So, for those of you who are ready to go after your dreams and try something new, why not start it today.

I would recommend one of these books to jumpstart your journey.

After all, the Mayans were probably on to something here.

    First of all “Mega Kudo’s!” to you and your new goal! I wish you the best of luck!

    I too, started on this same path several years ago, and it has been one of the greatest adventures of my life! I wouldn’t change a thing! Many things that I felt were so important turned out to be not important at all, nor were they really making me very happy…so I set out to change me for the better, and I am and it has!

    I too, discovered my love of writing and I write every day. I write, not for others, but for myself, short stories and books, and I don’t care if no one ever reads them (maybe my children will after I’m gone, that would be nice!). I enjoy writing them and that’s all that matters to me. For a couple of hours a day, I can leave the rest of the world behind and get lost in a story and let my imagination run wild…like being a little kid all over again. Mybe someday I’ll have a go at publishing one,I don’t know. But if I do, I’ll probably be the holder of the only copy and that would be fine with me, it’ll hold a place of honor in my library.

    As for the Mayans, well…who knows what they really meant by ending their calender today. Since we don’t have one still around to ask, it’s really all just speculation and educated guessing, a “SWAG” in other words. Maybe it still will end today, maybe not, but it sure has been fun watching people’s reactions to it all! Give the Ancients their due, they were very smart and pulled off some absolutely amazing things (some we still can’t figure out to this day), but the one thing they did discover and that is still true today…Life is short and you have to make the most out of every day…I am and I hope others do to.
