Episode 034 - A Chelsea State of MInd...

Hear the Thesis

The Thursday Thesis  - 9/2/2017

“London’s Best Address for Success”

When Billy Joel sang about his New York State of Mind you could almost hear the honking yellow cabs, smell the hot dogs and pretzel stands...

Much as I love New York and its people, I prefer a Chelsea State of Mind – which I was introduced to by self-help bestseller, my friend Peter Thomson.

“Chelsea Mindset?”

I’m glad you asked.

London’s Chelsea district has the postcode SW3, and Peter asserts that it is a vital element to help you retain a positive mindset in the face of criticism, trolls, or people who “just don’t get it”.

You see, Peter told me that when you put your own “take” on things out there, not everybody will love what you do or how you write, sing, dance or whatever you do: as Peter put it “Some Will, Some Won’t: So What?”

When you do your thing, your own way, some people will “get it” and enjoy it – they are your tribe.

There will be critics, trolls and naysayers, whatever you do – these folk are not your tribe.

Love you or hate you, it’s all the same - the Important thing is to get your voice heard and not be silenced by the fear of criticism.

Always expect both criticism and praise, because not everybody will be ready to hear your song, weep over your poem, read your book or watch your film.

Some Will, Some Won’t: So What?

If you don’t let your work out into the world it will die on your hard drive, unsung, unread, unloved; and you will have starved your own tribe of the juice of your creation.

Some Will, Some Won’t: So What?

That’s a powerful state of mind.

That’s SW3.
