There is a school of though that bees can't fly, they just think they can so they do. The idea that scientists were able to prove the theory with some experiments showing that the weight of a bee's body could not be carried by the lift created from wings the size of an average bumblebee wing seems plausible.
To be honest, if a man (or woman, no sexism intended but I am a bloke so it's easier for me to say man) in a white coat with a name badge showing he is a DR told you something you would be inclined to believe it on the basis that we think in such a way that 'trust me I'm a Doctor' is a sentence we all nod our silly heads at.
The appearance of the Dr helps, if he is wielding an axe wearing nothing but hotpants ski boots and an ill fitting mullet wig and singing she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes you are less inclined to agree to have him twang on a rubber glove and tickle your insidey bits, unless you are some kind of masochist or thrill seeker who has lost his skateboard. Looking back at this I'm not sure why you wield an axe and not just hold it but either way I would not be saying aaah, I'd be screaming it and running towards the nearest exit, I think thats why in the UK it says way out and not Exit in most hospitals, we've gotta find an exit sounds ok but we've gotta find a way out smacks of danger!
I digress, we do of course know that bees can fly, the evidence being... well them flying around from buttercup to rhododendron (I should research into whether or not bees remotely care for either flower)
Of course if you haven't noticed bees flying from flower to flower you surely will have noticed them ruining many a BBQ buzzing round your drink or pissing off nanna like a garden centre that has run out of tea cakes.
They are of course not as annoying as wasps but you see them flying so you know they can.
Or can they? is the theory that they just think they can fly so they do a good way of thinking? is it something you can bring to your life to assist yourself be better than you have been at anything you do or achieve things you thought were never possible? I'm not saying convince yourself you can fly and start jumping off tall buildings, sure you would make a massive impression... literally, and we don't want that. I also wouldn't suggest trying to ruin BBQ's by trying to fly round the table, you can have 12 pints and ruin a BBQ just as easily, again not what we are looking to achieve here.
We are looking to use belief to reach goals and self improvement levels that a lot of us don't bother with or think we can't. I am a stand up comedian, not a good one, just an average one. It's not my main job, in fact I find myself without a main job, without a place to live after a break up and of course thanks to said break up without a girlfriend to talk to when I am down.
I have few real talents, there is no chance of me getting a good day job or being an amazing comedian, in fact there is no chance of me being brilliant at anything, or is there?
Well yes of course there is, I just have to believe and I can start to do things I never thought possible.
I have started by trying to gain a positive frame of mind, not in a way where I stub my toe on the bathroom door and smile thinking life is great anyway, no, I will still swear loudly blame the inanimate door and possible hurt my hand lashing out at it.
But I am starting to think in a way where things are possible, because, well they are. I invite you to join me as I go from novice with £20 to my name to expert at things I never dreamed of even being able to do.
You may be on your own journey to prove yourself capable, or you may, like me a few weeks ago, think you can't do anything and life is too hard.
Well for me, with no dayjob, I have time to put myself to use, you may have a dayjob, well there is still time in life to improve your self belief and I will do things along this journey that take no time at all.
So there is a little introduction to what I'm going to do, read on tomorrow for the 1st steps to being better at anything and everything.
I'm now going to head out into the Yorkshire rain and have a game of football with limited technical ability!
