Do you too suffer from paralysis by analysis? Well, join the club. Let's talk about decision making and bell-bottoms. Bell-bottoms? Seriously, not a typo. The Old Sailor is intended by the author as a particularly humorous poem about an old sailor so obsessed with determining wha...t may be his best survival activity to embark upon that he ends up doing nothing at all but fretting over his circumstance. Aside from being delightfully funny and artfully illustrated, the author hopes readers will be offered a profound commentary on a very common problem in this day-and-age.

The Old Sailor is not intended to knock thinking, long-term planning or even dreaming. On the contrary, it seeks to emphasize a one-step-at-a-time approach is the most effective way to realize one's goals.

That is, to not make excuses, but to get started with step one. That is the surest way to elevate any situation you may find yourself in from bad to good and, possibly, great. After all, it is that which is lying right in front of you that will allow you to accompl
