The Best And Worst Of People

Hi All Who Follow This Blog

Today I have faced a very difficult day for reason I shall not post on here, if anything for saving face on the dramatic and just for sake of politeness

For this post I have decided on:



Today I have seen the face of people and situation that reminds me of the people in the world.
People I thought I had long got over or better to state people with I dealt with in my younger years and for a very very long, the none supporters, the gossipers, the people who just don't care about others or even worse those who would seek to put them down.

I today put all I could today into helping others and have been doing I feel for last couple of months and even still I am being blocked at certain roads or being told I am in the wrong because I strayed out my area, but where is the line of when I need to stop..... and then even better when is that limit gone and I have to put my foot down for the benefit of others.

I feel this past year, I have lost faith in people, it seems those would look after only themselves or would put me down for the way I am or even how I live with live or deal with people. 
I like many people struggle day in and out to be who I am and work within the restrictions set by either myself or the world ( wether that be people, an organisation, time etc ). 

It really does make me feel that a loss of great or inspiration people in the world have lost that guidance or that strength....

But there is HOPE, There is one person after today, all these events that transpired, one person that made me think... you are why I enjoy this work, you are one of the reasons I do this or be like this because even with the struggles you face or the task set before you.... you don't lose hope and you have that strength to challenge the odds and be inspiration to all those around you. 

I was told very long and very young that I would not succeed to the level I am in life, and I faced many challenge and people who would put me down or talk crap about me because I wanted to succeed no matter my limitations.
But there would be a person like me who was doing well or struggling through like myself and say 

"Hey,  Yeah it's tough at the moment and people can be harsh or mean or unfair or talk about how you are or what you do... but who you are and the work you do and the energy you bring to the goals you set.... they are gonna take you far in life... remember that." 

Today I met another one of those people, they stayed and chatted to me about life and work and people and just a bit of everything really, not in malicious way, not in gossip way, not bitchy/mean/cruel or anything negative. But talked about that even with these things around of how we carry on and face these struggles and to have he confidence and strength to carry on to achieve what we wish and dream to achieve....
They talked about me being inspiration to them.... when really it is they who are the inspiration to me.

Yeah its cheesy or emotional or what ever but it is true and so I write this as a thank you to them, for reminding that even after times like these, there are people like them in the world and they bring energy and inspiration to us all.... and that my dear readers is worth it

Thank you for reading
Best Regards & Peace & Love

Events, Updates, Opportunities & Developments

Hello Again all
those new and old and those who began to question if I would ever update again. Here I am with a new blog, new experiences and just lots of new things I guess

Sorry it's been a while, been a lot of happenings in my life and I fell into a slump of sorts especially with this blog, I have a post I am still working on but still needs tuning so until then here is this.

An update into the world of joey, I have had a lot of new things both good and bad happen to me in my time away. let me try and update in quick as possible:

Loss of friends, confusion of feelings, built back up, knocked down, arguments and conflict, confusion of feelings, renewal of the old, work and work and work, stress, enjoyment, new purpose, fulfilment, spirituality and the start of a solid path of wiggly path in life.

Yeah hope that makes sense but basically a lot of bad life stuff but here I am on the beginnings of grand new things and a solid strong path and so lets open up more recent events with this.



ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS, ONCE MORE

For those of you who don't do shakespeare for what ever reason, this is a famous speech from Henry V and the battle speech he made at Agincourt if I am right, The reason for this is because it basically is a nice embodiment of how I started back onto my feet in my second year and especially my second term in university. I am currently a DSM on the JH3 Drama of Henry V, and working with My Director Russell has possible become of the greatest working experience I have encountered in my academic and professional life so far working in Technical Theatre . I am also set to go into the next stage up as Deputy Stage Manager in The JH3 Dance Production

These are a grand timing for me to be able to build myself up as in a professional manner, keeping organised, paperwork but also a lot of hands on resourcing when required. 

I finding motivation, inspiration and work ethic is a big thing this year, helping others and building them up and myself up is a massive thing for me this year.

I have learnt a lot and doing quite a fair bit this year both personally and professionally, This year is going to be big I can tell and hope and wish you all reading this the same for this year - let it be a grand one

Best Regards & sorry that this is a little out of date been super busy
All the Best & Love

Get Inspired

Hi again to all those who have far and wide have rambled here to this blog page of mine.

I am writing today as motivation and developments should be a start now especially with Camp Leaders & Productions drawing fast.

So since February has two events starting - 30 Day Plank & 30 Day Crunch Challenge 
I have decided to join in them as well as the 30 Day Batman Challenges 

 

( So annoying i couldn't get them on same line) 

With this I have also decided to start joke writing again (The Serious Guide To Joke Writing), I am practing magic old and new ( Cards, Mentalism, Hypnotism, Tarbell 3 & 13 - Sleights of Hand & Card sleights, Method Impossible & more ) 

While also reading on self development ( Feel the Fear & Do it Anyway, F**k it - The spiritual way & Successful NLP).

All in prep for the summer to come where I adventure off to America to teach, work and role model for campers & hopefully colleagues.

I am writing this to set and remind these goals for myself but also that others may get inspired as well and for this I plan to try and keep up a post a day for this February to carry on focusing on these goals and inspire others that a simple journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 

So come along for the journey guys - there is much to follow and much to learn & gain

Best Regards
Peace & Love
