Carpe Diem

Recently lots of ideas for new projects/opportunities/general miscellany has passed through my mind, but (recently anyway) I haven't seized the moment and done anything about them. I was going to write a post on how I (and by extension, the readers of this blog) should seize the moment when a ideas come to them and act on them, on whichever way would make a good start.

Well now I seem to be eating my own words as someone took my idea from out of my own head and wrote on the very same subject. The hugely popular Seth Godin wrote a new post today, "Just Say It":

"Don't let the words get in the way. If you're writing online, forget everything you were tortured by in high school English class. You're not trying to win any awards or get an A. You're just trying to be real, to make a point, to write something worth reading.

So just say it."

Now I seem to have placed myself in some existentialist/ironic/self-deprecating black hole by "saying it" the instant that someone else tells me to "say it" through posting their on their own blog about how we should all stop worrying about the consequences and "just say it."

Lesson learned.

From now on I'll be "just saying it" more, to (hopefully) good effect.
