Well another year is coming to a close, and I feel compelled to share words of wisdom. No, no, bowing isn't necessary; you're too kind. I do this out of love :-).
So here we go:
1. Stop poisoning the good times! - You can't stand your job! You can't stand the people at your job! You bitch about it to family, friends, the lady on the bus, anybody you can. If you can't stand that job, why do you talk about it so much?!! You spend 8-9 hours of your day doing something you don't enjoy with people you don't like. But when you get the opportunity to do something you do enjoy, you spend 4-5 hours talking about the thing you didn't enjoy. The result: You just ruined your own good time! Stop it!
2. Do something new! - Every year it's the same damn thing. Your routine hasn't changed in decades. You go to the same place for vacation, or do the same thing every weekend. Try doing something different. Drive to Delaware. Why? Well, why not? Have you ever been there? Might be nice. Find out what the sights are! Do something to keep life interesting!!
3. Dump the baggage! - Let's face it, there are people in your life that bring nothing but drama, misery and chaos. LET THEM GO! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE KNOWN THEM FOR 20 YEARS!! Life brings its own challenges without some idiot adding to it unnecessarily! Especially an idiot you can get rid of. If she asks you why you stopped inviting her to your dinner parties just be honest: Because you always get stupid drunk and show your ass. ENOUGH!!
4. Stop letting people push your buttons! - Take everything as a learning experience. You have a friend who's talked about the two of you starting a business. You finally agree, and you divide up the responsibilities to make calls and inquiries. But she never has her shit together, and always has an excuse as to why some task isn't complete. You keep stepping in to pick up the slack. There's no need to fuss and shout. Just accept that this friend isn't reliable, and not someone you want to be in business with. Just keep it moving!
Let the coming new year find you and yours on the path to grace, wealth and glory!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
