(he said to himself) is that you always have control of your thoughts.
If you have an ugly moment in life, there’s opportunity there to focus on a beautiful time you’ve experienced.
If you’re hungup daily bemoaning “Same ole same ole” remember the day you struck out on a new venture… just getting away… or letting your mind get away..
When another, perhaps a loved one, a friend, coworker – whatever, is talking ugly. Giving you way more than you wanna hear about the ugly parts of their life – stick a cork in it, smile, and again – remind yourself of the glorious parts.
If you happen to work with a guy that knows everything, uses the word “I” every other breath – thank him for willing to downgrade himself occupationally on the company’s behalf by being a freight broker – for we all know he could probably be doing anything he wants to in this world.
Ya look in the mirror and see that ole skin not being as taught, fine as perhaps it once was… dig out a scrap book. Thumb through it until you find one where ya do look good, and importantly, one where you’re smiling. If it’s remembered that good times and smiles cause wrinkles – mebbe the reflection won’t be so offensive.
Spoil yourself to the tune of five gallons of $4 fuel – take a spin, return to happy places from your life. Wear the shoes of yesteryear. Think ahead, it wasn’t so many years ago these spots meant nothing to you – so rejoice in the fact the years ahead promise more special places.
Was driving in this morning, Maynard was in not-so-good a mood, onea them days where I have to cork it, nod, agree with anything during this narcissist moment.. It ain’t fun – then I thought how sometimes life just ain’t fun.. Then I remembered “hey, I went two for three Sunday”. Bless the facts these legs still allow me to run. I’m headed to work – where I like them, they like me, and they’ve brought me back year after year. I even have new eyeballs thanks to them.
The dregs. The dregs hit everyone – we just gotta remind ourselves life, if you look around, is pretty damn good. Base hits follow strike outs. Wins follow losses. Pretty follows ugly. Balance follows imbalance. Happy follows sad.
The magical ability of the filter of the brain to grab ugly thoughts, rinse ‘em out, turn ‘em into happy ones makes life cleaner. We’re all “there” occasionally. It ain’t permanent, it usually ain’t for long – unless we allow that filter to get clogged. Don’t do that. Think happy. Remember good past times. Spoil yourself at least once daily – how every you decide to do – you’re worth it.
Loveya, Victurd
