Share your creations

Staring at a blank sheet of paper and then starting to type, I wonder where this blog will go?

The more I think about what I want to write each day, the harder it becomes.

I know that if I analyse every sentence and every thought, then I will eventually talk myself out of writing it or I will keep editing it. The voice in the head will be saying ‘what if no one likes it?’ and ‘will that offend someone?’ or ‘does anyone care?’. Fear of what the non-believers will say.

The fact is I do my writing about things that matter to me. About the things I care about. I am not writing for others, I am writing for me.

So I have now got to the point of not caring who else reads them. I am obviously delighted if people enjoy reading them, however, I love writing them, it makes me feel happy and that is why I do this.

The key thing is to find the right people to connect with in life and then share your work with them. If you never share what you create, then you have not created anything.

If some do not like it, that is of no relevance, you may have shared it with the wrong audience, they might be wrong, who knows, who cares. There is very little right or wrong in life.

The most important thing to do is to share your creations and never fear what others will think. This is my creation and I am happy with it.

It’s a revolution, no more jelly beans.

So earlier in the week I blogged about changing the world with soap, so continuing in that vein, I now bring fruit into the revolution.

It’s easy this changing the world stuff, a bit of environmentally friendly soap, no more plastic bottles, and now fruit.

For those who know @Work Hubs, will know it for the trademark Jelly Beans, it has been the source of many a social interaction. However, I have thought for a while about this, and as it has been so synonymous with the place, that it felt like I was about to cut my arm off (OK maybe a little dramatic).

However, the biscuit jar and the jelly beans was not sitting well with my values and what I stand for. I don’t eat hardly any refined sugar any more. I used to eat a lot of it, and consequences weren’t pretty.

So here I was not eating it, yet happily giving it to my members at the hub.

The response has been good, better than I had feared, I was envisioning a mutiny. I feel better for doing it, knowing that people can eat fruit, sugar/additive free Nakd bars, and fruit & seed mix. They will feel better for it too.

So again, you don’t change the world with a bit of fruit, soap and glass bottles. However, you can start to make your difference step-by-step.

I hope that by sharing this, it will encourage others to make small changes too.

The sugar is a big thing for me, as I have grown up in a world, where sugar has become the biggest and most damaging drug. The damage that it is doing to human kind is huge.

My New World Project is all about making change and it is just starting, I’m on step 4 of the 1,000 mile journey and all I hope is to make my difference and inspire others too.
