Crap, Crap and Double Crap

I'm a blogger.
I'm a Tweeter.
I'm on Linked-In.
I have a built-in audience.
I've cultivated an army of followers.
My opinion must count.
In fact, it over-rules everyone else's.
Or maybe that's just the way things are going.
We have a forum to complain.
No responsibility or accountability.
So we get stuck in.
See bandwagon, must jump on.
I can't create it myself, so I'll just tear apart someone else's efforts.
Coldplay are rubbish.
Tom Cruise can't act.
X-Factor is for morons.
This is why our TVs and stereos have an 'off' switch.
Don't like it?
Don't listen.
If you've got a better idea, we're all ears.
Show us how you'd do it.
Take our breath away.
Move it on and share some positives.
Keep going forward, rather than dragging everyone else back.
There are no right or wrong answers.
Only degrees of effort.
Complaining takes very little.
Creation, now there's the challenge.

If You're Happy And You Know It (clapping optional)

You remember my old mucker Chris Barez- Brown.

Yes you do, the Upping Your Elvis guy.

You know, creativity guru.

Got a new book coming out next month.

Shine, How To Survive And Thrive

£ 9.99, YES £9.99! Portfolio Penguin.

That's the fella.

Anyhoo

He has this "thing" about waking up.

The moment when you open your eyes and your brain has to suddenly bring you up to speed.

Who you are.

What you do.

And in my case, where am I?

Chris sees that precise moment as a real power opportunity.

You can be who you want to be.

What you want to be.

You can choose to be different.

I love that.

We all come across people who are just not happy in their role.

Too busy.

Too much responsibility.

Whatever the reason, something's not working.

And usually, neither are they.

They're going through the motions, but they're not achieving anything.

Happiness is a choice.

Whether you find your work enjoyable or not is also a choice.

Fun is a choice.

If you're happy you'll enjoy it.

If you enjoy it, you'll be great at it.

No matter what the 'it' happens to be.
