We are often told that is it essential to learn to say no. This is a recent trend in flavour-of-the-month “how to live your life” bombardments of advice.

If you allow the winds of change to tickle the hairs on the back of your neck so to speak – in other words you allow things that change in the world around you, to help rather than hinder – you will sometimes find others seem to say no, for you.

This could be where you should have said no, but went ahead for some weird reason.
They turn round having apparently started the first steps alongside you, and say…No!

Interesting!? It should be.

The next day, the one after and, the one after that.

There is good reason to give names to days.

Nothing beats your own personal naming of days, like The Day I Met Her In the Cafe, The Day the Sun Warmed My Neck and Gave Me New Energy to Continue the Project – you get the idea.

You can shape the galaxy as you describe it.

Words matter, your words matter most of all.

On a twisting road a car is being expertly, carefully and swiftly piloted to the hilltop village.

The views are immense, wonderfully inspiring in their revelations.

A large terrace as we enter the village is actually the town square formed of three sides decorated with buildings sporting cafes at pavement level and a drop of 100 metres on the fourth side, which accords the enchanting view of hills and more villages over there.

Some come here to sell soft drinks and ice cream to the cafes, some to buy the unique herb flavoured sweets made in this village alone, some to come home, and some to see and feel and touch the place and its surroundings.

Any of these reasons, are most valuable. The main thing is to get to this place.

Everyone benefits.

Don’t fool with the self righteous.

But try to make them smile and watch the venom leak out like a broken gutter pipe!

If you add sweetness to sour fruit it can taste good.

Spread the nectar today, why not!

Work can never be boring – if you become proud of how clean and glistening the toilet you clean, becomes.

Later, there may be a palace to clean, or a golden statue to polish.

But the aim is the same.

Later, you may employ a thousand people to scale tall buildings, to clean their windows.

The aim, is after all the same, a clean, glistening sheen.

A thought for the day.
