Listen, go a little easier on yourself. Stop this push, push, push because you’re driving yourself into the ground. Sit on a deck, look at the pretty clouds in the sky (yes, they’ve been there, but you were too busy to notice how pretty they were), smile at and start a conversation with someone nice, etc. As I have quoted Carl Little a little (little pun there) “Life is too short”. Yeah, I know he didn’t say it first…I don’t know who or if someone else said it first, but consider it like a Re-tweet except in a blog.
Since “Life is too short,” we have got to enjoy Life a little. Okay enjoy Life a little more than a little. Enjoy the beautiful. Engage in Passion and fuel that passion- I always do! Love what there is to love. Love Will Find A Way. Erase the put downs, forgive the bad and seek honorably for the good in the future. ‘Life is too short” In the song Climbin’ Up The Ladder, part of the Lyrics are:
Well I'm climbin' up the ladder
I keep pushin and I'm bound to know
Well I'm climbin', climbin' up the ladder
Though it be shakin'
Ain't it up that I gotta go?

Ain’t it up that I gotta go? That line always spoke to me. Ain’t it up that I gotta go? Yeah, that’s the ticket. Up! Improve yourself! Improve somebody else (Lift Somebody Up). Rise to the occasion or simply Rise! Okay, maybe you haven’t set the world on fire, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Or that you are going to in the future, you just don’t know it yet. Or haven’t decided to yet. A positive attitude, Dedication and a sense of humor are required School Supplies for this thing called Life. But quit killing yourself in doing it. No, I never condone mediocrity, but I certainly allow R-n-R. When was the last time you laughed really hard? When was the last time you told any number of people you love them [not just your Romantic interest(s)]. When was the last time you just shared a kind word or a nod of encouragement? (See Blog “Try a Little Kindness”) Told someone they’re pretty? Told someone they’re special? Told someone you care about them?
Sure, you can do it in person and I encourage you to do it in person. But want your words to linger? To have a long-standing effect? Then follow it up with a Send-Out-Card. A card with THEIR picture on it that you create and you put in the card EXACTLY the same words you said verbally…or wanted to say, but didn’t have the guts. Sure, her eyes and her stunning beauty reduces you to melting butter everytime…been there my friends, but Send-Out-Cards is a kryptonite-free way to get the words said. I can help. We even have a Free account that will save you like 66% over standard Greeting Card prices so now MONEY is not the issue. I’ll give you all the details. Let’s Talk- in person, text, Zoom, Facebook Messenger Videocall, e-mail, etc.
P.S. Every Bolded and Underlined reference in this blog (except this one, obviously) is a song you can Search in a music app, Google browser, etc. Listen to The Music!
