That line got me married unfortunately
I'm not sure this thread has gone quite the way Kryton hoped
That bit wasn't you, theotherjonv.
Next time I'll multiply quote and analyse.
The thread started with a simplistic meme of the motivational nonsense variety then some people get upset when others take the Mickey out of motivational nonsense with their own motivational nonsense. It's a silly thread that needs to be read as such and not taken seriously
It’s almost like pithy one liners aren’t the best way of conveying a complex message.
And/or maybe we shouldn't attribute profound insights to mundane observations just because they come from people with a tallent for phrasing.
Affirmations are generally for people in need of affirmation, those of us who are already awesome just don't need them... 😉

Utter tosh, just look at what a roaring success "Brexit means Brexit" was?
and who could forget the genius of "Get Brexit Done" or "Have cake and eat it"?

Some people think the answer to life’s problems is to “MTFU”, others bury them, others attempt to forget them and live day to day and others take pithy little nonsense motivational sentences and seek a deeper meaning to them that helps them with acceptance or living for the moment.
YMMV

That’s me shit out of luck then.
That’s pretty much my entire act.
And we love you for it! 😁🫶🏻

Go outside ??? But it's bloody raining.
If some pumped, motivational consultant, whooping your company up tells you nothing is impossible, simply point out that they’ve obviously never tried to stick a trifle up their arse.

We should just leave it at that really.

Then they're not to be trifled with.

Barely an extension of the metaphor

Don't let arseholes spoil your day.
It's easier to destroy than it is to create.
If it wasn't for blinds, it'd be curtains for us all.
Sometimes the storm brings fear
Sometimes it makes me feel alive
Sometimes I am the storm
I'm Spartacus
Almost every hand you shake has at some point had a dick in it.
Don’t let arseholes spoil your day.
Spoil it yourself?
re. Storms. Remember: there's no such thing as bad weather, just climate deniers armed with questionable aphorisms
this thread reminds me of one of my favorite instagram accounts…

99% of everything is crap.
My daily meditation is the Midult on Instagram
Smack dab in the eye of the storm
Quite a ride just with the strength and size of it,
And I'm not sure what created this storm,
I feel safe in the eye of it now.
The commotion around me astounds me,
Tomorrow's a solace which grounds me,
I've got both of my feet on the ground,
I'm not sure where to look for my head.
A tranquil madness I've found,
Or maybe it's found me instead...
