Get a Life UK

I have my other half Jon (@gettheedgeuk www.gettheedgeuk.co.uk)
to thank for today's blog!
 
He showed me an amazing man doing ordinary work in an extraordinary way, thus transforming the mundane into the magnificant! The You tube video  above is of the awe inspiring Billy Clean..... who must be the happiest street sweeper I've ever seen!

Imagine putting that amount of  love and joy into your work every day?
It doesn't matter what your vocation happens to be, you can choose to be ordinary or as in Billy Clean's case extraordinary!

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’”

What makes the difference ?
It's all about attitude! You choose every morning if you will face the day with positivity or negativity.

In Billy Clean's case, quite obviously he chooses to carry out his work positively, bringing joy not only to himself , but to everyone he meets.

The streets he sweeps have become his stage, he has chosen a starring role, he is really sharing his love of life with everyone who should pass down his street. Bringing a little more happiness to those he serves.

Act as if what you do makes a difference.  It does.  ~William James

Never doubt your influence, you and I  and everything that exsists are inextricably linked and inter woven.......

Never doubt your ability to make a difference.......... for every action there is a reaction.... cause and effect........

So no matter what your vocation, I urge you to consider:

How can you carry out your work more joyfully today?

How can you be extraordinary today?

How can you change the mundane into the magnificant today?

Be bold, be unique, be extraordinary in all you do today.............
Make every moment count!
