Welcome to episode five of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. And I want to thank you yes you for listening to this. It's awesome. It's absolutely awesome so I'm doing a podcast every day. This is Episode Five therefore it's the fifth day, and I can tell you there's an estimated three listeners to this podcast, and I honestly I'm really celebrating that because I just want to remind myself, and anybody listening to this, that when you do something that is more towards the art side of things. You know it's subjective. Some people like it. Some people don't like it. No one has a need necessarily for it, arguably, of course an emotional need for music and things people may have etc but I'm not going down that road, but just to say that if people have taken time to everybody's really busy and if people have taken time to listen to what you're saying or to listen to your music to watch your videos to read your stories, whatever it might be. That is an absolutely awesome thing and it should really be celebrated and treasured, and it's something which maybe in the past. I hadn't been so you know so grateful for and mindful of so I just want to say thank you to everybody all three of you guys and anybody in the future who may be listening to this podcast. Thank you so much for spending the time listening it really means a huge amount to me and I've massively appreciate that. So, what I wanted to talk to you about today is about your strengths and your weaknesses, something, something happened to me in the last few weeks and today, that really made me also be grateful for a few things. And if you've listened to the previous few podcasts, you'll know that I've been recently in these last few weeks, particularly, I've been really focused on. As I guess as I always am on how to do things better, trying new things and effectively just trying to increase the enjoyment I get from my life by getting more satisfaction from some things that I love doing and spending more time doing things that I love doing. And being more efficient about everything. And part of that, I've been looking at routines, and I've been looking at structures and systems and how I can better organise myself, so that I do more things I love and I get more things completed. And on that note, I realised I realised for a while but I really embrace the fact that I have a very high level of strength I should say in coming up with ideas in vision in big picture thinking as some people might call it, and I'm very good at starting things. But my weakness is in following them through to completion, not getting distracted by other things. You know I have all these great ideas but when it gets to the nitty gritty I've got very high attention to detail, but actually nonetheless. You know I don't necessarily follow or It seems that I don't necessarily follow through on things. And it's easy to beat oneself up I certainly beat myself up before about our man you never finish anything you know you start things I've finished a little. And what I've been realising recently is actually it's not the right thing to beat yourself up over it, because it's not that you can't complete things it's not, I can't complete things and I complete songs I've completed GPS on completing an album I've completed a screenplay, and plenty of other things that wouldn't come on the list of things that you'd even consider completing you know completing getting a driver's licence completing, you know, moving furniture around a whole bunch of rooms so that the rooms have more livable and you've got more space. These are still important things that you No one can complete, so it doesn't have to be are, but at the same time. You know this thought is really not very true. And it's counterproductive that you don't finish things. What's a better way to look at it and I'm realising is I have strengths in one area, and I have weaknesses in other areas. So, it's much better to work to your strengths and than it is
