Do you wanna dance?

I don't know if you're sitting around your place in your grubbies having a pity party because your job went kaplooey and you are sick of social distancing etc ad nauseum (what?? Does that sound like moi?)  Feeling down because things are NOT looking up at the moment and you are always hanging on by a thread to your good mood anyway, even in the best of times....

If that's you this afternoon, let's look at some different hats and see  if that changes your perspective.

PROTECT YOURSELF

The medical profession has a motto  -- "First, do no harm."

The rest of us also have a motto -- "First, do not hurt."

Hence we probably all have a handy hard hat to throw on our head to be sure that nothing that is thrown our way can touch us and hurt us.

Problem:  it won't be long before you're exposed as 'all hat and no cows'.

IGNORANCE ON FIRE 

A good bet is to find a product to market from home that you really believe in, benefit from, and can honestly share with others enthusiastically.  Remember, no one likes a know-it-all:  ignorance on fire beats knowledge on ice every time.

Problem:  most will be too proud.

CAPTAIN OF YOUR SHIP:

We like this hat the best. It combines the best of the hats above, don't you see.  Protection, self-control, going places, ability to make measured decisions and FOLLOW THE COURSE YOU MAP OUT.

The most important step is the next one.  Take action.  Enjoy your journey.  Trust your instincts.  Remember that when you step out in faith, great and mighty forces will come to your aid!
