So I was at work today, and I finally got a decent train of thought going. That is usually hard for me to do, even if I dial in my zone. There are days it just needs to be the right stuff going on. Got the right pants on, boots cleaned and tied nicely, my sweat guard camo on, my best hits from my gaming music file.. and maybe sometimes a little Michale Jackson makes the magic who knows. I got into my zone and started rapid firing through my work. Working at a Pet Store may seem ideal to some to avoid heavy work, but that's not true for this work horse. So I'm chuggin along and pluggin away filling holes and spots with product when it hits me "I'd love to make a internet series of just games I love that some people may or may not be able to play/beat!"

I turn my music up one more notch, I find my chi, and I am on fire at this point just going with the flowing.

It also came to light that "Maybe sometime soon I will get noticed for working so hard lately" and it was becoming apparent to my managers I do work hard. Granted yes I can be quiet the goofball, but I do get my job done and make sure my area is looking like prestige just hit it. Then I look around, and this one person trying to get noticed to move up is just barking every chance they get. I want to say something, but I know if I do it'll backfire and I'll get in trouble.

So I just keep on going, until they get at me for something silly. I blow it off, well at least I tried to until they kept finding more reasons to be up in my stuff. I got no problem with people working up the totem poll, but a bit of tact and respect is required before you even go there. So at the end of the day I told my MiC (Manager in Charge) what was cooking, and she told me she'd handle it.

It's just upsetting to know that in my old jobs me+sweat+hard work= up the ladder. Nowadays it feels like arse kissing+sweet looks+ nice body= up the ladder. Don't wanna be a spoiler but in reality the worker beats the looker in the long run.

So I am thinking to myself as I laid down for a nap "If only I could dedicate myself harder with support I can do many things. I just need the switch hit to make magic. I need to hit that switch more often."

Then I realized; you can wake up everyday and shake off your sleep and do life, OR you can wake up and shout out loud to the world "I am the best in the world at what I do because I am the best. No one can put me down, no one can shut me up, and I need to prove that what I do makes me the best at it." It's that simple! I wish I saw it five years ago!

I am going to try from today forward to always proclaim to myself and those who question me "I am the best at what I do, and ain't a person who can touch me on my level. I am the best, and I will prove it day in and day out"

Life Lesson learned: Living life to the full by being the best you can be and proving it.

Thought of the day: People can put you down and rub you around the wrong way, but it only makes you better when you take it and put it back at them by being better and smarter than they were.
