#pickyourself

I need some space so let’s just take a step back. Let’s take a step back from the missed facetime calls, the ignored texts and the never received replies, just to name a few. You’ve missed so much, too much in fact. So, just for now, or maybe longer, let’s take a step back.

No one is going to pick you PICK yourself. Seth godin #quotestoliveby #pickyourown #pickyourself (at Rockledge, Florida)

'Pick yourself' and taking responsibility Perhaps you've decided that the idea of Pick Yourself is sort of a new-age mantra, a promise that everyone is entitled to what they want, right now. What a shortcut it seems to be. A false promise, holding out that illusion that we can get what we want if we just raise our hand. Pick yourself, you win... It's precisely the opposite. If you want to be responsible for making music, make music. If you want to be responsible for writing, speaking, making change happen, go do that. Waiting to get picked is a form of hiding, not realism. No, it’s not always possible for everyone to succeed by being the most popular, the most clicked on, the most liked. In fact, it will never happen. No one is promising that, I hope. What pick yourself means is that it’s never been easier to decide to be responsible for your own work, for your own agenda, for the change you make in the world. To have a chance to matter. Not to be finished right now, but starting now. Pick yourself means we should stop waiting and whining and stalling. The outcome is still in doubt, but it’s clear that waiting just doesn’t pay.

PICK YOURSELF NOW. 

When #life hands you #lemons, make #lemonade. Or in my case, when someone breaks in your car rendering it useless, spend the day in the #kitchen making #syrup #samples to send to interested distributors. Thank you to #Seth #Godin for the inspiration to stop stalling and start #shipping. #PickYourself #DIY #SmallBiz #artisanal #craft #cocktails #beverages #coffee #Fall #PMK www.poormanskitchen.com
