The reason
I’m not a perfect person
There’s many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so, I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I’m sorry that I hurt you
It’s something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I’m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
Awww…
My new blogging buddy Lexocat gave me a song today — I hope she doesn’t mind if I share it with you…
Actually, I’m quite familiar with this one being the blues fan that I am. I think Clapton did my favorite rendition but BB King covered it well, too. Here are a few others including one by the Jackson 5 with Michael Jackson singing lead…
Bach to basics…
Baroque music stimulates your brain and body. Here’s what I’m listening to this morning:
If it isn’t working
Nicholas Bate shares this…
(1) It’s maybe them (2) It’s maybe the system (3) It’s maybe you (4) It’s maybe a combo of all three (5) But the one you can start with is you (6) Get good (7) Get really good (8) Don’t accept any excuses from that crappy inner voice which reports to your dark side (9) one more hit of the snooze button? (10) ha ha, no way! (11) one more cup of coffee? (12) absolutely not! (13) skip the gym, it’s been a tough day! (14) are you crazy!? (15) as once you repair you, they realise they need fixing otherwise they simply lose you. (16) and once you re-invent you, you have so much energy, focus and cool, it’ll only take minutes to fix the system.
Upgrade yourself!
Mastin Kipp shares a good analogy today at TDL…
I joke that my goal in life is to upgrade my internal software as often as iTunes upgrades its software! I mean, think about it, how many times does iTunes upgrade it’s software? It seems like almost daily! And why does Apple do this? Because they are constantly improving their product so that it’s better for us to use.
And that is what we must do. Accept who we are, know that where we are is perfect. And then from that place step into constant personal growth, busting through old stories and patterns and upgrading our internal software so that we can be used by The Uni-verse better.
The future is bright. Many people think when times are good that they will always be good, and that when times are tough they will always be tough – instead of remembering that the nature of life is constant change. It’s usually never as awesome as we think it is, nor is it as bad as we think it is.
And when we have a vision for a future that we want to create, we can use that vision as a navigation system when times are awesome or when times are tough. Coming back to your vision and taking action towards it REGARDLESS of what is happening in the outside world – that is what separates people.

Au revoir iPhone!
Yesterday I said goodbye to the iPhone and along with it, Apple as well. While I was working on the AGCO social media project, my good friend and partner on the project David Sauter of Envano had been kind enough to let me use an iPhone [I think he was secretly trying to bring me back into the Apple fold] until he hired a new account manager and yesterday my love/hate relationship with the iPhone — and Apple — came to an end when I returned the phone to Envano. It takes a lot of Apple to lose the love of a fanboi like me, but at the end of the day, to paraphrase the great Ronald Reagan “I didn’t leave Apple, Apple left me…
It wasn’t so much dissatisfaction with the iPhone that brought me to this point — it actually had much more to do with the iPad announcement. As Alex Payne lamented…
“”The iPad leaves me with the feeling that Apple’s interests and values going forward are deeply divergent from my own. The future of personal computing that the iPad shows us is both seductive and dystopian. It’s not a future I want to bring into my home.”” Source: Alex Payne on the iPad | Smarterware
