Party? That's bullshit.....

I must be getting old....

I have noticed over the last few years that music videos and reality TV are now sending out the message that life is one big party....

On what planet?

Don't get me wrong, life is fun and is a great adventure if you treat as such...

The problem is that these images and creations make you think that you can party all the time and live it up. There are some people on this planet that can do this,  the really, really rich people that don't need to work.

The reason that most rich people don't need to work is down to the fact that they had to work lie dogs to get in that position...

The new wave of good looking people go clubbing all the time is not real and by sitting there watching it, you don't give yourself even the remotest chance of getting anywhere near it.

I am really conscious of "preaching" hey if you want to watch "Towie" that is your bag and no one should judge you for that. The problem is the message that teenagers and kids are getting, thinking that life is one big ball of fun and parties.

It isn't, it is a roller coaster of emotions, challenges and loss. Good times and bad times. We are not teaching people how to handle the ups and downs and then telling them that life is one big party. Not cool.

Everything costs money and to earn money that gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want, takes a HELL of work, no partying, no TV and you have to have stamina.

For me, this work is the fun bit, but for most people making the decision to choose a more "positive" path, it isn't much fun at the start.

For life to be a party, it needs to be earned. Simple as that....
