Vote Them Out

Vote Them Out

I could not agree more with this post! For the last 100 years we have been sold down the river by successive liberal and labor governments and it’s high time we as a populace woke up to the insanity of swapping between those two horse each election race.

We need to ditch the two major parties and start electing representatives who stand for we the people.

Representatives more loyal to their constituents than a party or their political donors.

We need people in parliament who understand the present system delivers the present problems and that to prevent the problems we need to alter the system. The system isn’t broken, it is working as designed! We need a new system! One where corporations with the money to make large political donations do not dictate political, economic and environemental decisions.

I disagree with the violence of the French protestors. Violence is not a workable or sustainable solution. I do agree that we the people need to take a more active role in determining the outcome of decisions made in parliament as we as individuals and as a country are suffering from the way those decisions are being made at present.

“What Would It Take?”

As I was walking along this morning I got to thinking about how to improve various conditions in life. The thought occured to me that one of the most valuable and powerful four word questions in the English language is, “What would it take?”

For several reasons. First, it focuses on the product, what it is you want to accomplish. Second, it demands that one focus not on any old thing you can do, but rather what doingnesses and sub-products will actually bring about the desired result.

So if you are up for some improvement in your life, this week make a list of non-optimum conditions in your job, family, marriage, health, friendships, social groups or society at large that you would like to improve or improvements you would like to see come to pass.

Then ask, “What would it take?” to fix the non-optimum condition or see the improvement occur. May be that will bring to light one or more solutions. Maybe not.

If not, the undercut might be, “What action can I undertake that will start to improve the condition?”

And then slot that action into your schedule for the coming week.

Rarely do major changes happen instantly. Most people are put off when they confront the effort required to accomplish a large goal. And that part of the mind that is set up to trip you up will almost certainly be ready to offer up any number of reasons why you cannot accomplish your goal. So don’t be deterred by the magnitude of the effort involved and all the reasons that will come to you about why you cannot do it. Just keep putting it there that you will accomplish your target.

I read that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become world class at most things. Sports, playing a musical instrument, painting etc. Sounds like a lot when you say it like that. But many people spend two hours a night chilling out. Probably not most of the people I know, but many do.

Put that two hours a night into a project of your passion and that’s 730 hours a year. 15 years of spare time and you could be world class at a skill of your passion.

Probably most people cannot confront a 15 year plan. But you could confront two hours tomorrow night. And with that success under the belt you could probably confront doing the same the next night. And most things you want to improve won’t take 10,000 hours!

I am told if you do something for 30 days you’ve established a habit that is harder to break than keep.

So this is my “end of year” motivational talk to you to decide how you are going to improve some aspect of your life and not be deterred from implementing those actions that will lead to your success.

So this is a toast from me to you, “To your unbridled success!”

No Such Thing As Bad Weather!

No Such Thing As Bad Weather!

J Blakemore, the guy who posted this on Billy’s birthday wrote: Hands down one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met in my life. I was a background actor for five years and encountered hundreds of actors from A to Z list, but when I was working “House” Billy Connolly came to our craft services table (not his own trailer), hung out with us between takes, traded jokes, was genuinely thrilled and surprised to know that one of my favorite movies is “Water” and posed for pics with me and a Kiwi buddy as they both sported their tribal tats… …when you meet someone that cool you damned well need to let them know they are special. And Billy IS special as hell.

Now before you go down in the mouth about how bad it all is, there are a great many people of good will working on solutions to the above. What you can do on an individual basis is to sit down with this list and identify at least one action you can take on a personal level to fully or partially counter the negative effects of each of the above on you. Once you have done that you might like to identify actions you can take that will more broadly counter the negative effects of the above on self and others or at least forward the spread of truth and sanity about them to those you love and beyond.

Having written this list and looking back on it, I cannot help but be struck by how many of the above would be defused or eradicated by the increased intelligence, awareness and ethic level of the individuals in society. As awareness is increased by losing the upset one has on things that have negatively impacted one in the past, and as going for a walk and looking at things extroverts one’s attention and recovers attention units from where they are stuck in the past, the very simplest and easiest thing you can do is go for a daily walk and look at things until you feel brighter.
