A Ramble About Sometimes

Sometimes you are happy

Sometimes you are just very sad

Sometimes you are secure

Sometimes you are scared to death

Sometimes you are rich

Sometimes you are wondering about bills

Sometimes you are the life of the party

Sometimes you are in the corner alone

Sometimes you are prosperous

Sometimes you are barely getting by

Sometimes you are fully present

Sometimes you are totally lost

Sometimes you are faithful

Sometimes you are agnostic

Sometimes you are attractive

Sometimes you are just not appealing

Sometimes you are good

Sometimes you are wicked

Sometimes you are where you should be

Sometimes you are dreaming about elsewhere

Sometimes you are the comedy

Sometimes you are the tragedy

Sometimes you are, well Sometimes

WordPress Wandering

I have done some blog surfing across the WordPress community today. There are some awesome folks out there doing good stuff. Exploring can be fun.

Creative Blast: Charisma in Character

A preacher, a musician, a poet, an actor, an athlete all have the power to command your attention and to influence you. You see them on a stage and you find yourself looking up to them. They have charisma and character that moves you. How you react to their message is totally up to you. Some you pay to see others you view for free. You give them your time and treasure to see what they will do. You follow them and wait to see what they do and say next.

They are in your hearts and on your minds all the time. They have your attention. Every move they make you will know it from your social feed. These people become part of you.

Personality is a powerful thing and you find yourself wanting to copy them. Being in their presence is a religious experience bordering on obsession. If they offer merch you wear it, own it and it becomes a uniform that you wear in solidarity with others who are doing the exact same thing.

How do you break free or why would you want to?

Thought Of The Day

The desire to post something profound and meaningful is not happening at the moment. Maybe in itself that is profound.

In The Comments

Do you ever wonder about people who write out long essays in posts about the most innocent things? Think about how much time these folks spend coming up with responses that seem to be disrespectful and angry.

It seems Facebook, Instagram and Twitter where this happens most. One could do a demographic analysis and come up with conclusions that can affirm a profile of people who seem to do this sort of thing the most.

It’s amazing what they say and makes you wonder if it’s from a place of fear or facts. Don’t dive into the comments, if you do it might leave one sad and bewildered.

People Helping People

Making ones living upon the good graces and cooperation of others is tough. You having to balance the demands of business with the availably of people in the process. One has to be delicate and understanding. Empathy and sympathy are both needed to connect with people.

Using good communication skills and experience are very helpful. Of course it requires sticking to it in order to be successful. Ultimately it’s asking people to help people and to add urgency into the mix.

Having goals and meeting quotas in this situation are another conversation. Keep those metrics in mind though.
