One snippet, one moment… is all it takes for someone to form an impression. To form that opinion. To form that picture by which they’ll judge you.
Usually, there’s much more going on. Much much more.
Social Media has made it so easy for us to assume from a persons single post or comment.
Whilst everyone chooses different things to share at different parts of the day, week, month… just remember, what we see isn’t always the full picture.
There’s a lot of time, people spend, in trying to please others.
I once shared a Friday Thought… if you want to please everybody, buy an ice cream van.
Truth be told… it’s a need to be liked. To be accepted. To be part…. But the real truth is, you lose yourself. Don’t. You are you. You are unique. You are awesome.
My Friday Thought today is… Efforts reflect interest.
The more you put in, the more you’ll get out.
The more you tend to it, the bigger it’ll grow.
The higher the effort, the larger the gain.
The more you’re interested, the more effort you’ll put in.
Enjoy what you do…
I always speak about the process.
It’s so important – to be part of the journey, tell the story and understand how it’s done. Don’t just be part of the outcome.
And with that, below is my Friday Thought from Alex Morton…
It’s been a while! For that, I apologise. A lot has been going on… (all good just to add! – just been super busy) but I’m back on it again! (And appreciate the messages from you guys asking me about me blog, the Friday Thought, etc…)
And here we go, with today’s Friday Thought…
So I’ve finally finished the book by Steven Bartlett – Happy Sexy Millionaire.
I’ll honest, I didn’t really want to read it at first – but once I got into it, and half through – absolutely loved it! What a great book. There’s some nuggets of information that will stay with me – and I encourage you to go out and buy the book and read it. My Friday Thought today is a photo from one of the pages in the book… talking about the time we have on this planet.
We all talk about how much time we have, and how it’s limited. But do we really?
Recently, Sidhu Moosewala – a singer, actor, artist who was from the northern region of India, called Punjab was shot dead.
He was a Global Superstar. Some huge artists around the world put messages on their social media channels and many people were saddened to learn about his untimely death.
One thing that really stuck out for me, was a post on Instagram. Which is my Friday Thought… I don’t think it needs any extra words from me.
First and foremost – apologies.
I know a few of you have reached out to me, asking – where’s my blog posts, where’s my Friday Thought… can I share an update on particular tech, what do I think of the latest gadgets, etc…
I’ll be honest. It’s not that I had too much going on. It’s just someone, made a few comments, that seemed to suggest, I shouldn’t be posting as much.
I started this blog several years ago. I know I don’t have millions of readers – and you know what, that’s absolutely fine. Because, what I do know… is there are some readers. And they engage with me. And I know I’m making a difference.
So, I had to re-collect my thoughts. Think about, the purpose of this blog – and then do what I want to do.
And with that, I give you my Friday Thought… I’ve been following Steven for a while, and really do like his perspective on life…
Here we are. In 2022. Hoping, I suppose, that’s all we can do, is a better year than some of the previous years we’ve had.
Let’s be honest. We just want a bit of normality. We just want it to be stable, no drama – and letting us enjoy time with friends and family.
So, my Friday Thought, is in line with ‘The Out and Abouter’ who recently tweeted – let 2022 be like a Toyota Corolla.
We all thrive to add value – in whatever we do.
But what is value?
It’s functionally what somebody wants to happen.
Coated/covered/surrounded with some emotion.
