A bit of philosophising can make a world of a difference.
It helps one set ones goals.
I'm coming across more and more people who are doers.
There's a feeling that we need to work together and cooperate. We will achieve a lot by operating in this way.
I have been wasting far too much time and getting frustrated when one tries to persuade people, who have developed a none doing attitude, to do something.
I am concluding that it is not productive to try to get people who have not developed this skill to change: they get upset, you get upset.
We have to take on board that there are many people who have little confidence that they can achieve anything. Often far from achieving, they can seek to stop others that are doers from achieving.
They can block you or they will criticise you but they do not like doing.
So let's try to ignore these people who seek to drain our energy and rather concentrate on the ones that encourage others.
I'm in touch with several doers through the flag project - it's very encouraging, motivating and exhilerating.
It only takes a handful of these doers to achieve a lot.
Doers of Ulverston lets cooperate and concentrate on encouraging each other and work together - and amazing things will happen I'm sure.
Others will then catch the bug and doing will gather momentum.
A happy Ulverston will then become an even happier one.

Hip, Hip, Huzzah!
Well done to you "Sir Of Sensibility".

Hip,hip to you JAK-the-doer
How is the chaotic town flag group doing is it true that the group screwed up a grant from SLDC.
If so that is so sad.
Is this a helpful way of thinking?
Do we want to focus on things that are sad?
How about the way that the Ulverston Flag Group is encouraging others to get involved and managing without grants.
Furthermore, there are at least two of the above committee who are trying to help both groups. Some people want to support the parallel projects because of their inviolvement in the Flag Festival, whoever is doing it.
These people are true doers - trying to keep all the plates spinning. . . .
I like your broadminded take on the festival.
Yes it is negative to focus on sad items, mistakes.
It is best to move on after learning from the experience.
As long as its not repeated ,and lessons are learned.
Thanks.
Any more positive thinkers in a world of negativity?
