WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE

The saying I used as the title to this story may sound self-explanatory, but to get real results you must prepare in advance. I’m sharing this before the New Year begins, a time when we usually start with new desires, new expectations, and hopeful forecasts. But the real question is—are we ready for them?

Results don’t happen by accident. They require action ahead of time. For example, as a mortgage broker, if I want to get paid in January, I must work on my files in November and December. The same principle applies to my art and my photography.

On January 8, I will give a talk based on my forthcoming book, “How to Enjoy Comfortable Aging – 42 Manifestations”. Even though I am still working on the text, the book will be ready in January.

At the same time, I will have my photo exhibition on January 18. To make that happen, I didn’t just create artwork—I also designed another book, “42 Petals of Wisdom”. Everything I do, I start in advance. So, when the events arrive, they are already in motion.

The three images decorating this story are from my book “42 Petals of Wisdom.”

I’ll keep you informed about the dates and locations of my talk and exhibition. In the meantime, Happy New Year—and make it a great one. If you’d like to reach me, please call (415) 225-7920 or send an email to mannykagan@comcast.net.

Thank you!
