YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE: A print-out of your mind. Is your facebook page mindless? (You ARE allowed to use it for mindful purposes!)

DEAR FACEBOOK USERS: You ARE allowed to use your facebook page to try to help support your favorite candidate running in the March 8th election and ask people to get involved. EVEN IF IT MEANS ONE LESS STATUS UPDATE OF WHERE YOU JUST ATE LUNCH!

Take a look at your pages...it's a print-out of your mind. Are you mindless? Do you let your mind get blown around in any direction, based on whatever dumb comment you happen to see posted on someone's page? Can you keep your mind focused in a more empowering direction? If you do, you will notice your actions become more empowering. And before you know it, you will feel empowered. Instead of a weather vein being blown in whatever direction your TV remote control or nutty blog post/facebook comment blows it.

So let's get some SERIOUS debate going: What do you like better, plain or peanut M&M's?

Sad thing is...some of you are already reaching for your keypad to type up your response. Which IS the problem: Too many people always feel compelled to give an opinion on anything and everything, no matter how petty or irrelevant.(People like to "fit in" and posting a comment somewhere, on anything and everything, is a way of achieving that, I guess.)

Me...I really don't even like to (can't even discuss something or waste my brain if it's not something actionable toward an impact, even if a small impact, which may not be a warm and fuzzy enough existence for most.)

But, although I doubt anyone wishes they were ZD, many of you wish you had made the citywide impact I just did over these past few years in this huge geographic region, without a professional or paid media platform. (If I had to sum it up in one word..."FOCUS!" Aka: Mental discipline.)

SO LET ME CLARIFY...I'm just kidding. I don't care which kind of M&M's you like. But for the record...I like PLAIN M&M's. Why? LESS NUTTY! PLEASE, try to be the PLAIN M&M's in ZD's world.
