The Austrian Philosopher
That Austrian Philosopher Arnold Schwarzenegger, and yes, I did check the spelling, once said "shit happens."
Indeed it does! Does it, however, need to keep happening?
The answer is no.
What it takes is a view, a vision, of a world different. Of a world transformed. Changed.
Of new opportunities created. Of passion. Spirit. Rising to the challenge.
When I was extremely nervous before a talk, it gave me solace to repeat "I'm the best person for the job." I may not be perfect; I may not be the greatest ever; but I am sincere in my desire to do the best job I can possibly do.
Plus, I am the only person who is set up to do it. I am the only person here. I may not be great - but I am here. If I chose not to do it, I will definitely fail.
When I chose to do it, there is a possibility I could succeed mightily.
Certainty of failure or possibility of success? I choose the possibility!

Love your ramblings! Have you taken time off from blogging? Looking forward to more ...
Hi Brenda,
I suppose I have. It gave me comfort to read your sharing and to know there are people out there who aspire to a better life.
I get soooo busy and lose myself in all i have to get done.
All the best,
Hugh
