Are you a Voice Stalker?
What on earth is a “Voice Stalker”? I got this idea from an online horoscope I read today. “If a plan is working, make the most of it. If it’s not working, change it. And if you’re not sure whether it’s working or not? Well, that largely depends on how long you have already been giving it the benefit of the doubt. A lot of people spend a lot of time living in a make-believe world where ‘hopeful signs and signals’ are frequently seen, yet no real change ever comes. You’re not obliged to put up with an unsatisfactory situation for a moment longer than you want to.” Interesting isn’t it?
If I discovered a girl who I wanted REALLY WANTED and contrived to be where she was, kept in contact with her, did everything within my power to attract her attention, showered her with gifts and attention, phoned, sent texts, visited her at work, at home all to no avail what would that make me? The advocates of positive mental attitude, the marketing experts, those who say things like “winners never quit and quitters never win” would say that some day she will be mine. What think you m’lords, m’ladies? Mmmmmmmmm CREEPY STALKER! Exactly.
Review your wants, your desires and your dreams, get real. Am I saying you should give up on your dreams? No. I am saying that you should stop stalking something that has told you many times already that it will never be yours. Don’t give up on your dreams, give up your obsession and find a real dream, your dream and that dream will come true

Indeed, many people have been encouraged to forget that engaging in critical thinking is more powerful than summoning positive feelings. However, it’s hard to market programs in critical thinking, so our contemporary Goo-Roos will stick to peddling their Feeling Factories.

Good thought, Philip.
On what Lance has said, doesn’t it take critical thinking to realize your dream? You can’t just say, “I’m going to conquer the world.” You need to figure out what it takes to do it, all aspects of what it takes, and then put a plan in motion. At what point does that become an obsession? When you find out you don’t have what it takes? And how do you find out?

“…stop stalking something that has told you many times already that it will never be yours.”
Harumpf! What do you know, you - you - meanie. Just for that, I will continue to wait tables in this coffee shop until everyone else in the world comes to recognize my unique and marketable qualities.
Sincerely,
Famous person in-waiting
