It's only work...

When you would rather be doing something else.

That's also why people say you should find something you would like to
do for "work" and you won't be working anymore.

Some have come to me having trouble with this concept...think of it
this way...if you are happy while working, then it really isn't work,
is it.

And while some work, by itself, may not be the most fun, we can sure
spin it, and make it fun...once we do that, we are happy and we really
aren't working anymore:)

A Crabopotamus...

Is someone who is a bit more crabby than they should be.

We can all be a Crabopotamus, occasionally, but don't want to be one for long.

It's is our choice to be happy or not, so what's the big deal to look
on the positive side of things or "Spin", the not so good stuff.

It just takes a bit of conscious reminding, and with a little repetition, is starts to condition into a subconscious act.

Back in the day...

"If you were happy when you were working, then you were not working",
which was a bad thing...and people were told to wipe that smile from
their face and put their nose to the grindstone.

Things have changed, but not all of the views have.

Some that come through Zappos seeing happy people, working and having
fun, and can't quite see how things get done...maybe the new saying is:

"If you are happy when you are working, you are not working", which is
a good thing, because if you are happy and enjoy doing something, you
are in bliss and studies show that you are more productive and creative
while in bliss.

New perceptions can take time to reach the tipping point, so let's all keep
being happy while working, until the rest catch on...and ultimately we
will be helping to deliver Happiness to the World.

Happy 10 Year Anniversary...

Zappos!!!

Today is the day, 10 years to the day, as a matter of fact!

A great example of what can happen in 10 years...which all started with one thought.

But 10 years old? Heck, we're still a kid, with a lot of growing, creating and learning to do...which is the beauty of it.

Thank you Zappos and it's Team for the inspiration of what can be
created by just one thought, followed by one decision and one action at
a time...yes, anything is possible.

Be Yourself...

And if you think you're not as good as you can be, you can be someone
else!

Were not talking about being another person, but being the person you
can be.

Often times, we have a hard time being ourselves, because we are not
too happy or content, with who we are.

But that doesn't need to stop us from being the person we want to be,
or know that we can be... and once we become that person we admire - we
can be ourselves.

So just start today, upgrading the real you, by doing things you have
always wanted to do and become the person you always wanted to be.
