I decided on the radio show this morning to only focus on the positive on the radio show, at www.radiojackie.com. That meant NO negative speaking or focussing on credit crunches or Swine Flu (have they thought of oinkment for that? Sorry!)

So I asked people to call in and tell us what they appreciated about their lives, and who was in them, little or big, it didn’t matter really, not at all.

And I have to say the response was fabulous, we had people ringing in who had had a frightening diagnoses, but with a steely determination to get well (and it was treatable), we had someone who was about to go on a new wonderdrug that gave her hope again.

And mothers appreciating their daughters, and workers appreciating their bosses (it does happen, really!), and someone else appreciating the blossom and hives by the side of the road, which they hadn’t had time to see before because they were so rushed.

The lady who had a final job interview for a job she really wanted, and had plucked up the courage to go back into the workplace after a break and a series of difficult challenges in her life….

And it felt great. And I had not even given any thought to anything negative in the 3 hours I did the show, and that felt amazing.

PLURK

Some of the more fun people we spoke to talked of the line blurring between work and play. Plurk, you see. To get a bit philosophical, I do not believe we are on this planet to suffer a difficult existence and be miserable, I prefer to believe in the power of dreams, and particularly doing what we love for a living. Why not?

This lady seems to have mastered it in abundance.

There you go Sarah, I promised you a plug on my blog, what a great business you are in. This lady came on the phone and said “I LOVE my job”. And you could hear the enthusiasm in her voice, it could not be faked if she tried. She meant it.

She loves to meet people, food and more, and this job allows all of that. Nice for those of us who are harried to be pampered as well I would imagine.

Jeanne (the girl I am seeing) talk a lot about our dreams as well. Hers are to travel, and to be an interior designer, and to sell fashion and items of interest from round the world. What if she coul find clients interested in her designs, which would fund the travel, which would enable her to serve her clients better, which would result in more funds, which would result in more time to travel, which would……. you see the positive loop here.

What simple, fun step could you take towards a dream you have?

Here’s another lady whos enthusiasm was infectious…

http://www.jojingles.com/twickenham/

She works with kids, and she says she loves it, they are always happy, and focussed on having fun in the moment, not worried about the past or future.

I think that’s pretty good advice from our younger generation.Be here now. And enjoy it.

Worry or fun? No brainer isn’t it. And since when did worry or fear make anything better anyway?

One more, Phil one of our regular listeners in Molesey (known as the Molesey ranter!), served 30 years in the police force, then made the jump to being self employed, with a chauffer company. And business is very good. That bears repeating.

Business is very good.

Where did you hear that in mainstream media?

I also want to introduce a cyber friend of mine called Buz McGuire http://www.viralhappiness.com/. This man I have never met, but have spoken to online, and have a “cyber friendship” with him, he is a great guy. I know he is running for local office as well in the States, I have to say I would be delighted if there were more leaders like Buz in town. Good luck with the election Buz, and keep up the viral happiness. Buz “thought” hs way out of depression in a week, without prescription drugs, thus spawned the idea of viral happiness. I find him inspiring, so do have a look at his site if you have a moment.

I think the more ideas of positivity, and success and solution rather than problem focus we have the better, and the better the world will be. I stand by that, and this is the main ethos of this blog. I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me, but I know it’s gonna feel good.

Do you have an inspiring story, or something you’d like to share? Have you overcome something or made a dream come true? Do you have a dream job or business? Please share it here, and feel free to include a website address. I hope you get more business out of it, and more visitors to your site.

I want to do a series of podcasts (like radio but recorded) on stuff like this, success stories and principles, so if you would like to be interviewed by me, just get in touch. Free plug on this blog in it for you.

I look forward to your comments.
