Brilliant

I am a little bit brilliant. I am a little bit not brilliant. I need to step up and see myself as brilliant all the time. All the time. aprecious is shaking her head?

We found a list on the Internet about being brilliant:

1. Make a pact. With Warsaw? With the devil? No, apparently with myself. About being brilliant. I'm the only one who can do it!

2. Imagine it. "What is the dream you don't allow yourself to even consider because it seems too unrealistic, frivolous, or insane?" Fur fabric cage, gourmet dog food. A private beach. Chasing sheep. And to be allowed to do calligraphy.

3. Gasp. I've to do things that make me gasp? I was gasping a lot in the hot weather, does that count?

4. Get a thick skin. If I'm going to be brilliant, some people won't like me. Perhaps I could just be brilliant on Mondays when I'm in on my own?

5. Be an arrogant idiot. I have to share my opinion. All the time. Without thinking. Here's an opinion (or two): cats sleep too much and some have bad breath. Sheep poo is better than horse poo. Fact!

6. Question the voice that says "I'm not ready yet." I'm always ready. Every second! I'm brilliant at this bit!

7. Don't wait for praise. What should I wait for then? Biscuits? Sausages? A new Spirograph set? An Etch-a-Sketch?

8. Filter advice. What with? My ears pick up everything like satellite dishes. This could be tricky! When ap is rattling on I'm going to hum "Who let the dogs out!"

9. Recover and restore. When I'm being brilliant ALL the time I'm going to be out of 'my comfort zone.' So I'll have to rest up, in a big blanket, eating chicken and that.

10. Let other dogs know they are brilliant too. Well a lot are, but I didn't like that Boxer that bit my bottom!

"Clear a path by walking it, boldly." - even if it's full of grass, rubbish and other stuff?
