Motivation

Well as a gesture of power and solidarity I am putting this out to the world.
What is the go with other people? I am serious. Sometimes they do something that are really really quite nasty. When this happens I am usually just left sitting there scratching my head with a What the fuck just happened here? look on my face.

Case in point, I have a friend (a real one, not a pretend one) who is pretty tops and ace and cool and is, of course, one day going to change the world, or at least the way we think.

Now I am so ridiculously proud and excited about everything that she does that I tell people about her. To all the people that I know, in the same way that some people talk about their jobs, or their dogs or their cars. I talk about my friends. Because I LIKE them.Simply because I am now of an age that I don't have to put up with people I don't like. I do not call them friends. If I don't feel like you are improving my life by being in it, you are no longer in it.

This unfortunately is not actually possible at work, but I have a whole different strategy for that one. Just be nice to them. These people hate that. Give out the Love. Be understanding. Try and figure out what it is in their life that is making them so bloody mean. Maybe they lost their job, perhaps they are fighting with their lover, maybe their dad has been diagnosed, or maybe they just put their emergency knickers on this morning and they don't quite fit.
We dont' know.

So anyway back to my friendly friend. She is great, she is good, she is clever. And just like alot of people who are innovators and free thinkers, she has some people who don't like her. And that's fine. And totally normal. Me, I have a whole load of people who don't like me, and I kind of like it.

And there are those who I don't like. But heres the thing....... if I don't like them, I really don't care what they are doing, where they are living, and I certainly do not take the time to extol vitriol on them, or their opinions, or their lifestyle.

So back to Motivation

Why would you do something like that. It would not improve your life, it would not improve their life. It is truly truly odd.

I received an email from a woman at work here - something ultra glamorous about CMYK colours or prints..... but at the end of it, it said

"Be kinder than is necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle"

So there you have it world..........

Why not give that a bash? GIVE OUT THE LOVE

(does that count as Zeitgiest?)
