		<description>Hi Chris!
Just got here. I know some of who you are and every time I talk with you, I get to discover more that knocks me over with how valuable and important you are -- what a thinker! what a teacher! what a friend. 

People do get us wrong. Sometimes we get ourselves wrong too. In the end, as they say character is the person who is there when no one is looking. I&#039;m proud to know you.

Thank you for including me on this short list.

		<description>@Robert - Exactly, I think it really helps if we concentrate on putting out positivity, even more so when surrounded by negative folks. I find when I succeed those people either change or go away, either way is a win ;)

@Stephanie - I think audio or video work you need to be even more conscious of positivity and negativity as it can come across in your voice. You can&#039;t tell but I am smiling while writing this :)


@raj - You are a very positive person, we all have off days :)

@LAChick - It sounds like it would be a great story, just only share what you are comfortable with

@Colbs - Thanks :) Keeping hold in your own mind of who you really are is vitally important as otherwise other people will decide for you.</description>

		<description>Sometimes things just happen by &quot;coincidence&quot;.  

I have been thinking lately that I used to be someone different in character, like I have lost something of myself over the past few years.  I guess when I let my work, beer and my poor relationship skills take over the first to go is the idea of who I am.  In the past few weeks I have done some serious house cleaning and yesterday was the first day I really started to notice what direction I was heading.  And today to pull up your site and read another intimite post was just another one of those mysterious coincidences that seem to happen when you are doing the right thing.  Many times it seems as though I am reading your journal rather than your blog.  New to the blogosphere, I did not think the realism existed.  You can consider me a forlifer.

Thank you for today&#039;s inspiration!</description>

		<description>A colleague asked me to contribute my &#039;personal&#039; story of building my current business to a book he&#039;s writing. He asked me because firstly I&#039;m a woman and secondly because in building this business I pushed myself so hard that I nearly crumbled under the weight of it all.

I&#039;m in 2 minds about it because it means I have to be very honest about the imbalance I created in my life and how poorly I dealt with it at the time. The upside is that it will serve as a warning to others and the more honest I am, the more it will resonate with them.

Good timing on this post Chris :)</description>

		<description>Hi Chris,

Thank you for such an uplifting post!  When you surround yourself with positivity, opportunities abound and you can do anything that you put your mind to.  A great number of bloggers in my industry (voice overs) are conscious of the need to be a source of inspiration and smiles for their readers.   I don&#039;t watch my &quot;count&quot; so much as the number of comments that are left.  Over time, the better your audience knows you and you know them, the more engaging and bountiful the comments on your blog.

Just a thought.

Thanks for writing about this!

Best,

Stephanie</description>

		<description>Chris I totally agree that surrounding yourself with positive uplifting people is the way to go.  Heck, we all have been around those persons that are just all gloomy and Eeyore-esque.  They are no fun and they&#039;ll pull down anyone that gets within their negativity force field.  There is someone I work with like that.  Constantly sighing and complaining about what they doing.  Sometimes you just want to say, &quot;Take your rain cloud somewhere else.&quot;</description>

		<description>@Adam - It&#039;s good to know there positive corners of the web, so thank you!

@Alan - Good idea, I never thought of asking that in an interview but have asked with clients

@Anne - Heh, I blush too, good job nobody but my cat can see me when my webcam is off ;)

@Adam - Thanks Adam, I am sure you would do very well freelancing, just make sure you have a safety net of cash built up first :)

@raj - Yup, that is the key, ignore the trolls, be yourself and know that some people will twist your words no matter what! :)

@MyStarbucks - I do believe that if you give attention to negative people they suck you down into their unhappiness. We can do what we can to help them but in the end, if they are determined to be negative they are best avoided :)

@pelf - All we can do is try :)

@Erica - Thank you for your kind words and showing up Erica :)

@ses5909 - Just observing trends :)</description>

<p>@Adam &#8211; Thanks Adam, I am sure you would do very well freelancing, just make sure you have a safety net of cash built up first <img src='http://www.chrisg.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>@raj &#8211; Yup, that is the key, ignore the trolls, be yourself and know that some people will twist your words no matter what! <img src='http://www.chrisg.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>@MyStarbucks &#8211; I do believe that if you give attention to negative people they suck you down into their unhappiness. We can do what we can to help them but in the end, if they are determined to be negative they are best avoided <img src='http://www.chrisg.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>@pelf &#8211; All we can do is try <img src='http://www.chrisg.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>@Erica &#8211; Thank you for your kind words and showing up Erica <img src='http://www.chrisg.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

		<description>Nice post Chris. Hopefully nothing happened that prompted this post. I know you and I have had the talk before about people assuming they &quot;know&quot; you because you are public. You&#039;re a good egg and I think anyone with 1/2 a brain can see that :)</description>

		<description>One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from Maya Angelou, who says &quot;When people show you who they are, believe them.&quot;

The authenticity in your writing voice, Chris, tells me volumes about your integrity. For this venue, that&#039;s all I really need to know. That authenticity is why I keep returning. It&#039;s also a wonderful model for the rest of us in the blogging world. In my work, one of the 7 Sacred Attitudes I&#039;ve written about is the &quot;Show Up&quot; Attitude. To me it means &quot;be authentic.&quot; Thanks for Showing Up.</description>
