Be a Weeble

Weebles Wobble But They Don’t Fall Down

As human beings we are fragile/strong little creatures. Our bodies are both remarkably resilient AND remarkably fragile (finger versus kitchen knife confirms this). So are our hearts and our confidence. So much of how we interpret the world around us is based on family conditioning (or lack thereof), the cultural status quo, who we hang with and what we put into our brains. Is it any wonder that in our personal lives and our businesses we wobble over and over again? Trust me.

Ok, maybe YOU don’t, but I SURE DO.

I believe life is half luck. I still receive tons of traffic from one very basic post that mentioned “rock the casbah” and now my Susan Boyle post from months ago found its way to a Susan Boyle forum (and traffic has hit the roof).

So half of that is luck and half is the fact that I wrote the piece in the first place which is sort of what I say in that post anyway. If she hadn’t shown up, there would be no Susan Boyle as we know her. And we now know that she has wobbled a plenty.

The brightest and bravest and most popular among us wobble left and right. Then they DO SOMETHING.  I have something to give and then I wobble and I’m either not sure it is of worth or I’m not exactly sure what the course is at all.

But what I do know is, wobble and all, dead cars, bum knees, departed client, fear I lack the appropriate “cool factor” and all, I keep getting upright and trudging forward.

Making it (whatever the hell THAT means!) in the online world these days is a bit akin to making it on American Idol (or my preferred So You Think You Can Dance):

• You gotta have talent
• You gotta have nerve
• You gotta show up and sing/dance, wobbly and all

So, I keep showing up with my small space, art journal, spirituality, small business, pop culture, authentic, relevant, organic networking hodge podge because I LOVE IT. But I wobble and that’s human.

Share your wobbles below (Oh. That sounds dirty). You’ll feel better. I swear.
