"I hypothesize that in order to be excellent at something you must first pick yourself up and DO something." - The Hutchings Hypothesis
Dear You;
Are you happy?
I suppose that’s not the most normal way to start a letter but then again what is normal to
us? That’s a human condition. Still, are you happy? To be honest, these past few days I can’t say that I am fully aware of what that means but I’m working on it.
Sidebar: “To be honest” – what the hell does that mean? Shouldn’t people be honest in ALL their communications? Pff!
Anyways, so one of the definitions of happiness according to Macbook Dictionary (shut up, it’s still a viable dictionary) reads, “willing to do something”. I don’t want to do anything. Which is funny for reasons you and I know all too well. You know what’s equally funny? Go and do a search for the word ‘excel” and you’ll see, to “be exceptionally good at or proficient in an activity or subject”. So... happy means you have to be willing to DO something and to excel means to be exceptionally good at what YOU ARE DOING. it’s hand it hand it seems.
You remember when we used to do things? Grab the camera, make stuff, spend forever editing? Editing. Good grief yes, editing. You were right I’ll give you that. But it was fun. Left room for excellence. And in the very least, we we’re doing. And doing is the first stage towards being excellent, right? I hope you’re doing stuff. I hope the stuff you’re doing is making you happy. And I hope you’re doing it excellently. Who am I kidding , is you. I’m doing stuff. Not just the advertising but ACTUAL stuff. Been prepping some of it secretly – look out for that soon. I’ve also started the second blog I was telling you about, Me Tarzan. I can finally throw my… thought experiments and varying hypotheses around. You know me. And yes B is for Stealing stays, it’ll be my… creative outlet. Well more so.
I don’t particularly KNOW where I’m going with this – and you know how uncertainty thrills me beyond compare – but I just had to write this. So yesh, here it is.
Be happy. Live Excellently. DO. STUFF.
