Comments on: My Review of Hugh MacLeod’s “Ignore Everybody” http://www.michellesblog.net/blogs/my-review-of-hugh-macleods-ignore-everybody Michelle Greer, Web Marketing Strategist Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Phewsonhttp://www.michellesblog.net/blogs/my-review-of-hugh-macleods-ignore-everybody/comment-page-1#comment-1029 Phewson Sun, 21 Jun 2009 07:46:57 +0000 http://www.michellesblog.net/?p=396#comment-1029 If it were easy, everyone would be doing it -- but the greatest trick is learning where you are weak, accepting it and knowing what is true about you and what it not. You'll be surprised. . . and no, you are not special and you don't have any gifts. There are those who talk about doing things and those who do them. From what I've seen, you're becoming the latter and maybe once you remove the "kind of jealous" aspect, you'll actually make something real happen and realize it's not a race and there is no one you should compare yourself to. . . be you. You have no idea what you're really capable of yet. Just look at life like a video game . .. you have to work and make the most of what you have and then you can level up. Last part, have faith and give grace quickly and freely . . . if you don't have and give these, you will rot from the inside out and fall short of your mark. Life isn't about who is right. It's about love. Love comes first above all :) If it were easy, everyone would be doing it — but the greatest trick is learning where you are weak, accepting it and knowing what is true about you and what it not.

You have to work and struggle and even then, sometimes it doesn't work out. I'm also in the phase that Hugh was in at agencies, and that can be sort of rough. I've yet to find "the business card to doodle on", so to speak. So I feel like I'm not one of those special little flowers who is enlightened without having to work at it. That can be hard to accept.

That's exactly what you are. That's exactly what Hugh's point is. The work comes in to figure out why you're special and what to do about it. Peace. @vinylart But you are a special little flower in the universe. That's exactly what you are. That's exactly what Hugh's point is.
