STOP being Negative, Take a snap shot of that moment

I have so many people around me at the moment that are so negative, like they are the only ones in life who has problems. I know so many other people who like me have huge drama going on in their lives and yet they keep a positive out look on life and just keep on trucking.

Take a moment here, pause and think about which one you are. I mean really think and be completely honest with yourself are you my friend number 1 or are you friend number 2. If you still not sure, call me and i will tell you which one you are.

Life is what we make it, i have been very fortunate over the last 8 months to be able to tick a lot of things off my MUST DO BEFORE I DIE LIST, how many have you ticked.

And here in lies my challenge for you today, stop bitching and start doing. Stop being that guy that has every excuse under the sun why you cant or not doing something, stop watching life go bye from your TV couch, get out there and make things happen.

Then when you doing it, stop and take a picture, or even a mental one. This picture moved me when i saw it as it reminded me of my best friend, Raoul de Jongh, Urban Ninja, him and i rode from George to Cape town , unassisted on MTB with only a Garmin in December, through 40deg heat with only a small back pack. At the time i also had a huge stomach virus from North Africa but got through it all with a smile on my face.

    Collin that is all relative! Tell this to someone who has been physically abused, mentally abused, cheated, lied to, stolen from etc ad naseum.

    You cannot live in a vacuum nor can you stop the great tide of misery about to envelope the world! There are just too many people who are oppressed and too few decadent rich clinging to their wealth. Wouldn’t you say you are lucky? You would be singing a different tune if you had been attacked and raped on your way to CT hey. Like my innocent friends who were raped on their way to CT hitch-hiking – but BOY were they positive that they were going to be ok!

    Everyone’s life is different. That is the whole point about life. Its a false premise you are adopting and one that will eventually lead to self-defeatest attitudes. You need to watch Peter Sellers in his film I’m ok Jack! Depression of which the world is living in because of its materialist nature is not something to deal with a “ruk yourself reg” type of mindset! Read Sjoberg and Durkheim and understand organic societies first. Then comment.

    We have all had bad things happen to us, i lost my girlfriend and my father to car crashes in 6 months, Oscar Pistorious lost both of his legs…we all have our crosses to bare…

    But at the end of the day its all about your mental attitude

    admin: you really need to learn how to write. you may want to try grammar check and spell check. you use ppl and then delete them from your life when they try to hold you accountable. don’t talk smack about others, your life is certainly NOT the example one should live by
