Blinded By The Light

Sometimes it’s really hard to stay positive.
Don’t worry, that’s not a cry for help, just an observation.
Because I’m so used to hearing negativity around me.
It doesn’t matter how good things are,

there’s always something to complain about.
The brief is great, but there’s no budget.
The client is lovely, but there are five other agencies.
We did our best, but it’s hard to tell.
It looks good but maybe they are trawling for ideas.
It would be a lot easier without the clients
Wouldn’t it?
It tough to keep putting yourself out there
Risk the rejection
Facing the fact that you sometimes lose
At the risk of sounding like a Disney sidekick, try and be the positive one.
You know who I mean – they brighten every room they enter, and every conversation they join.
Negativity is like fly tipping.
As soon as one person dumps their rubbish, everyone else piles in and does the same.
Before you know it, there’s a great big pile of garbage.
If you want to be remembered positively, remember to be positive.
