Today's Song of the Day...
There's nothing like a good 80's song to get you going in the morning. Plus, I'm pretty sure a lot of us are livin' on a prayer these days:)

In London, T Mobile staged two hundred dancers to "randomly" start dancing in the train station. The marketing ploy was that bystanders took out their cell phones and started getting it on video. Take away the fact that it was marketing. How cool would it have been if you were in the train station that day? I don't know about anyone else, but I am aching to have an extraordinary moment. Things seem so mundane right now. Every day is work, workout, eat healthy, more cold weather, get some sleep, start over. I feel like a hostage in my own life. Being practical and responsible, it's my duty to keep my job and pay my bills and be healthy. But lately I have this nagging desire to just let it all go, pack my suitcase, and use my new passport to go somewhere beautiful, exotic, exciting. Along the way I'll eat whatever I want and my only forms of exercise will be trekking through the mountains, swimming in the ocean, and doing yoga on the beach. I'll leave all my dress clothes behind and stick with sweatsuits, jeans, flip flops, tank tops, and summer dresses. I won't care if I don't have any money. I'll get by waiting tables here and there, being a part time nanny, cleaning, whatever. I won't bring my watch. I loathe my watch. I'll wake up when the sun hits my face. I'll eat breakfast and drink coffee watching nature and praying, thanking God for my freedom. I won't read the newspaper or the internet. I'll go where I feel led and I'll greet everyone with a friendly smile and a curiosity as to why God may have brought us together. I'll find ways to make a difference.
Oh can't you just imagine...

From the Wizard of Ads Monday Morning Memo...
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." – T. E. Lawrence (of Arabia)
Hunker down or dream. It's your call.
The 7 Steps to Hunkering Down:
1. Stay scared. Call it "street smart."
2. Cultivate cynicism. Call it "straight talk."
3. Praise pessimism. Call it a "reality check."
4. Believe you are wiser than everyone else.
5. Feel secretly superior.
6. Take no action that might improve your condition.
7. Crow "I told you so" when things get worse.
The 7 Steps to Pursuing Your Dream:
1. Know what you're trying to make happen.
2. Expect good things to happen for you.
3. Plant seeds of good things daily.
4. Trust that some of your seeds will grow.
5. Measure success by your own criteria.
6. Make progress daily without fail.
7. Believe in the power of the Elbs. (Exponential Little Bits)
