How does it happen....

For some reason I can't sleep, I'm awake, half-plowed, and find some sort of demented pleasure in torturing myself to blog in the wee hours of the night rather than being in bed. That seems to be the growing theme for me these days. In and out…in and out…over and over again.

Anyways......I thought I would try to bore myself to sleep by putting out there a hodge podge of thoughts....

I think..... a lot.

I must to have been that kid that grew up asking why why why???? I'm gonna have to consult with my mother on that to confirm....

Anyhow...even till this day...I look around me and see an establishment or business and wonder...how does it survive out there when there is so much competition? I mean....I'll see a cute little Thai, Indian, Deli or or Sushi place when further down the road are so many others just like it. What makes one particular restaurant stand out and so unique that it stands amongst the rest at having fighting chance at being a thriving business?

I do this when I see couples together as well.....I look at them and wonder....

Where did they meet? how does that happen so easily when there are soooo many people in this big o'l world that they can chose from? What was it about each other that just placed them together, made them fit?....was it through friends, in school? Did their eyes meet across a crowded room....what???? How do you know if it stands a chance? Do you just leap in and pray for the best? Many people have told me it is just something that happens.....

Logically thinking or possibly even wishful thinking.... sure...... I would want to believe that may be the case....but.....if I were to compare it to the business analogy, isn't there a sense of responsibility for showing up every day eager and excited to be there? To be be creative, to stand out? To not be afraid to put all little elbow grease into it even to support it so that it may thrive and be successful? -- I don't know. My guess is that anything important in life is worth the input (the work)....the output is just the rewards that natural come as a result.....and thus leading to something pretty fantastic......
