| Philosophy: First do what you must do, then do what you want to. |

Everything we do involves our understanding of Information, Creation, and Orgainzation.
Our universe is constantly creating new information.
Each and every moment, infinite future possibilities collapse into one more instance of experienced reality.
And then more information is created.

Our abilities to survive and thrive are measured by how well we observe, comprehend, and adapt. Our accomplishments are built on our successful efforts to acquire valuable information in the past and our continuing recognition of causal factors changing in the present.
In this universe, knowledge based on accurate observation and understanding of factual information is our first valid basis for action.
Any complicated action requires us to exercise our abilities in each of the three areas: Information, Creation, and Organization.
Creation involves the use of our imagination to take us from the passive to the active.
Creation happens in the real world, so we must balance our actions in time and space, in accord with the natural laws of physics.
But, Creation begins with Imagination. And Imagination is, by nature, free and fearless.
No matter what we are doing, Imagination is our single most valuable asset.

Information, Creation, and Organization are equally important.
People make a big mistake when they favor one of these factors over the others. And some people tend to ignore one or another factor entirely. That not only limits what you can do, but also limits how you see yourself, how you see others, and how you see the world in which you live.
Organization and disorganization alternate back and forth all throughout our lives. Uncontrolled disorganization can be depressing, but it is natural. Our only job is to Organize the part that relates to us. And then we don't have to worry about the rest of it.
Organization requires us to put everything we need in the right time and space.
We organize each process or structure involved, and watch the action unfold.
Otherwise, there will never be any action. There will just be an idea, or another dream deferred.
