Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Smacking Fish Was Started to Make the World a Better Place

— February 18, 2013 — Lifestyle
In a time when 'Austerity' is a word heard on a daily basis and the general mood across the world trends on the side of what can only be best described as doom and gloom, it's time that the world started Smacking Fish, both for the greater good and for the good of each individual and their quality of life and that of their family. We want the world to start Smacking Fish.

'We', are the founders of Smacking Fish, a brand, or as we like to see it, a phrase or a philosophy for achieving your visions, dreams and goals.

As individuals we are three brothers and brothers in law from the North East of England who one day whilst on holiday in Columbia, standing in the ocean, suddenly realised that we truly were in paradise. Without a care in the world we stood waste high in the water, trying to catch, with our bare hands the little fish that were jumping up all around us. We didn't achieve a catch, but we were in our element trying. Not only that, we were with the people we loved, on a great holiday we'd all saved up for months for doing whatever we cared to do. It was at this point that we realised that having the option to do whatever we wanted to, working to achieve a goal we'd set, should be a permanent state, not something we were only able to do in the brief moment we are able to step off the treadmill of the daily grind we've settled into.

And it was at that moment that Smacking Fish was born. Today, the phrase represents an individual or the process of going out there to achieve your dreams, no matter how big or small, for setting goals and making every effort to do what you have your heart and mind set upon.

Our goal for Smacking Fish is to build a community where like-minded people who have dreams or goals they want to achieve, or have already succeeded in, are able to provide and share the motivation and inspiration for success. And we need people like you who can inspire the Smacking Fish 'Believers' who have dreams but haven't started following them, and those who don't even realise they still have dreams worth following, to set out on their own Smacking Fish journey.

Our first goal is through the medium of Kick Starter where we have launched a project in order to provide visual representation of Smacking Fish 'mottos' in the form of unique posters. We require support in the project to get as many of the posters into the public domain as possible to begin spreading the word of Smacking Fish. Please take a look and offer your support on Facebook.
