Welcome once again. You’re here trying to figure out what TwAcK is all about. You’ve read the intro and you came away with a better idea but still no cigar. Well, in a nutshell, I make no excuse for cliches, I love them, TwAcK is whatever you want it to be. Next topic? You want more, I get that, everyone needs a reason for something just ‘being’. Why is it here ? What is it for ? So on and so forth. I will try my best to explain, shed some light on why TwAcK is whatever you want it to be…
TwAcK A Philosophy For Life.
Whatever you want it to be, should be a philosophy for life. Maybe for some of you it already is. Kudos to you. The phrase is key in what TwAcK is all about. In fact, it is at the centre of its very essence. It’s ‘epicentre’ no less. It does share that space with some other principles who might argue that they are just as, if not more so, important.
As a taster, before we get into this more, let’s say the word ‘Future’. Semi random choice, there are others I could use but this will suffice for now. Now we put that in the TwAcK statement.
The ‘Future’ is whatever you want it to be…
Ummmh. Now that looks a bit different, doesn’t it. The phrase takes on a whole other meaning. We’ll leave it there for the moment and come back to it later. During which time you may feel free to try other words. I do so enjoy playing with words.
Where It All Began
I was going to write a whole post just dedicated to this and I still may do that. The early days according to TwAcK. I will stick to the plan though. I really do find it hard to contain myself sometimes, I just want to babble on, random ramblings, so to speak.
TwAck came about during a conversation round the dinner table. Well, I had already started to formulate the idea. I was, by this time, well on the journey out from some bad times. Just the way it is, we’ve all been there to one degree or another. I was flailing around deciding how I was going to approach the next stage in my life. With this in mind, I had been looking at different career options. I had worked in many industries but had no formal profession or qualification. A ‘journeyman’ some might say, starting at the bottom of many employments and working my way up.
I started to look at the possibility of becoming self-employed but in all honesty I had no clue as to what particular field that 
might be in. Whilst all these ruminations were going on in my head I had the thought ” What if I could create something out of nothing” To be more specific, what on earth I am going to do.
The thought stuck with me though. After a few days of exploring it more, I had a much clearer image in my head.
Back to the dinner table. This was back in the days when the children were young enough to still enjoy sitting at the table to eat. A pause came about and I dived in. “What would you think if I said it was possible to make something out of nothing” There were a few blank faces followed by “Er what do you mean.” I was in, they were going to have it.
So I went on explain what had been swirling around my head. The next bit tells you what I told them, you get the longer version, lucky you ? Before I go into it, do you know the best thing about that whole discussion ? When I had done my spiel, everyone was really positive, no one thought Dad had lost the plot. Bonus. No, it really was a bonus, without that initial enthusiasm, this may never have come about.
What Does It Mean Please.?
My vision for TwAcK was that it was an example for all of us, that you can make something from nothing. It’s gets a bit ethereal, so try to stay with me, in return I’ll try to stay on track, no promises though.
Where to begin. TwAcK is whatever you want it to be. How so ? I was having trouble deciding on what route to take with regards my own future path in life. Was I going to have to recreate myself, learn a new skill, go back into a career I had done before ? Somehow this had sparked the thought about TwAcK. I needed to invent something ? Not exactly.
TwAcK didn’t exist, I had created it out of nothing. Now it was real. It represented the possibility that we could all do that. TwAcK isn’t the ‘it’. Whatever you decide to create is the ‘IT’, TwAcK is the representation, it is the symbol if you like. TwAcK is behind what you do or the catalyst that helps you to formulate a plan.
Now I’ve typed, it actually makes more sense. Up until now I have tied myself up in knots trying to explain It. So simples.
Defining Your Own Idea
All well and good, you say. Some bloke tells me to make something out of nothing and expects me to just conjure something up ? Yes, that pretty much covers it. Problem ? You don’t have any ideas ? We’re already well outside the box, so coming up with possibilities should be easy. For me, I was already in between jobs, if you like. You may not be in the same situation. What I’m saying is, don’t run into work on Monday morning, telling your boss to put his job where the sun doesn’t shine. Do not ‘burn your bridges.’ At least not yet.
This can and should be a side project to start with. Children are brilliant at this. Take playing a musical instrument, they come home, all excited because they’re learning to play the recorder. Next week it’s the trumpet, then a guitar or in my case drums, not me but two of my offspring. The point is, they are never happier than when they are trying out something new. You should do the same. Isn’t there one thing you’ve always wanted to do or be ?
Just Do It
So, now you have a better understanding of this part of TwAcK. Hopefully it has opened up a part of you that has been trying to get out forever. Therapy time. No, not really. Let’s explore this a little deeper. You now know that it is possible to literally make something out of nothing. You are reading the proof. There are always plenty of reasons not to do stuff. Fear of failure maybe, don’t know enough, can’t afford it. The list goes on and on. Excuses don’t work here, you don’t even know what it is yet. Just do it.
That was the beginning. Since then TwAcK has evolved and now encompasses many more core values. I’ll continue to fill you in on the finer points of detail and let you into some of the future plans we have lined up.
With your help.
Ever wondered what TwAcK stands for ? Why not have a read of the next article, which is all about that.

TwAcK Can Be Whatever You Want It To Be.
This seems to be very broadly defined… With this in mind, would you be open to considering adding ways to browse around with the topics that you have covered? It would be nice to bounce around and browse to see the topics you covered… kindness, paying it forward, etc… I’d like to be able to click around and see everything you’ve written about these topics. That way, I’d be sure that I didn’t miss anything that I wanted to read.
Hi ALY, That’s a great suggestion, thank you. I will be going through the articles and making sure there are the relevant links. I can also use your advice moving forward. Awesome. Thank you again.
I appreciate the originality behind twack. It sounds like it’s all about reinventing yourself, which can be a necessary and sometimes difficult endeavor. Great space picture. When I think about the universe it is always reinventing, reshaping. You’ve created an interesting, original concept here and I’m looking forward to where you go with it.
I’ll take ‘interesting,’ ‘original’ and ‘concept’ every day of the week. Re-inventing works and being able to just ‘start’ How many of us never start something, even though we’ve done it in our heads. We are all capable of doing something extraordinary, which just need to believe that we can and then do it. Thanks for dropping by.
Be well.

For me, I think every great idea, every great invention, and every great moment came from nothing. The greatest minds in history made something out of nothing, and left a legacy behind. We’re all making something out of nothing via self-employment in terms of internet marketing and trying to reach and help as many people as possible. That’s pretty amazing, and even more amazing to think that every great asset in the future came from….nothing.
Hi Todd, that’s a great ‘take’ on it. You are so right. I admire, greatly, those who have just woken up one morning and had their own ‘Eureka’ moment. Professional inventors are awesome. You make a splendid comparison with ‘Internet Marketers’ They find the problem that needs to be addressed and then create a solution to it. Inspiring.
Thanks for a wonderful comment.
Be well.

I like the concept that you are espousing…TwAck is truly whatever you want it to be, and it can be everything you need it to be. The website is the location to filter through all this and it does seem that you are creating a stir in a good way with this TwAck thing.
Essentially we can use the ideas and website to be what we want, and there are no limits, this is what I am feeling, and this is something I like. Am I right in the impression I am getting with TwAck? If not, please guide me, I am teachable (I think)…I do intend on stopping in to see what is new and will also have a look at your suggested follow-on article..TwAcking around…
Hello Dave. First, thank you for your time and thoughts, greatly appreciated. Second, yes you are spot on, no teaching necessary. Make something, where previously nothing was. Not necessarily a new concept but one that we overlook, for sure. When it comes to websites, well, the choices are staggering. Wake up and start writing and you’re two-thirds of the way there. Something a bit different, as is my perogative, is the latest post.

I love the concept on which you wrote this article, making something out of nothing could be extremely challenging mostly when you have been pushed to the wall, I’m taking out of experience in the online world, lost my job and had no means to cater for my family. I had to make something out of myself by joining wealthy affiliate and building my online real estate and I pray it comes to something.
That’s what it’s all about. When you start thinking that anything is possible it opens up huge possibilities. Joining Wealthy Affiliate sounds like a solid investment and like you say, you now own a piece of internet ‘real estate’ You own it and can make it into whatever you want. Thanks for popping in.
Be well

I have to admit that your article was very confusing to me at first and I had a hard time understanding what you were talking about.
I had to read it three times to figure it out. I will say, I like the name “Twack”, it’s unique and original and I can actually see it on a T-Shirt in the not too distant future, That’s something to think about once your website gets more traffic.
I finally understood what you wanted Twack to be, but not until the 11th paragraph. Might I suggest that the section titled “What does it mean please?” Be closer to the top? Maybe you can let people know that your idea for Twack is to create something from nothing, in the beginning rather than further down? I like the name Twack, to me It’s a word that we can use without having to explain in full detail.
And then maybe later ask people what their versions of Twack is. Anyway, it’s just my opinion.
When People send me their performance reviews at work, I sometimes rearrange the order to make it sound better and make more sense and I was wondering if it would work here.
Let me know what you think!

Hello Ibrahim, what a refreshing comment and I thank you for your candor. I think you make a really good suggestion and I shall have another look at the layout. Twack can be hard enough to get your head round without added confusion. As long as the ‘idea’ is understood and that everyone understands that ‘Together we all create kindness’ then all is well with the world. Thanks for dropping by.
Be well

Interesting read. I went on to the second page as well. It is incredibly easy to create something from nothing with the advent of the Internet. Well, something from nothing in the sense that it isn’t created from organic bits and bobs anyway.
Everything begins with an idea and this is a great one. It’s a matter of mindset and perception and that’s what needs to change. This article does a good job of stirring the grey matter and encouraging one to think outside themselves, to become more situationally aware of the needs of, not only individuals around them but of the needs of the planet we live on as well.
This is a pleasant diversion from the “Hurray For Me and The Heck With You” attitude so prevalent around the world today.
Hi KC, Thank you for dropping by and for having a look round. You’re absolutely right about trying to get the grey matter churning over. I am asked quite often what ‘Twack’ is and what it means. My standard reply is ‘Whatever you want it to be’ then obviously I have to explain a bit more. I’m not really sure you could call it a ‘concept’ but that’s not far off. If someone reads about it and then goes and does something for someone else, that’s win.
Be well.
