Don’t Be So Serious (Day 23) by David Guerra

Day 23 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

DON’T BE SO SERIOUS

When we go around living at 100mph we tend to overlook the little things. We are moving way too fast to stop and smell the roses. If you like driving fast and always worrying about the impending crash then it is time to slow down.

Being serious all the time creates unnecessary stress. Stress, in general, complicates things. Unnecessary stress really complicates things. To minimize stress, especially unnecessary stress, you must do what you can to stop taking life so seriously!

Of course, life is serious but it is how we deal with the big things, as well as, the little things that make all the difference. Laughing at the little things is easy. Not letting EVERYTHING get to you is not so easy.

That’s why you need to take everything at face value. The big stuff is just that; the big stuff. The small stuff is the small stuff. Learn from both, good or bad, you have to take every opportunity to learn from everything that happens; good or bad, large or small.

Always learn from everything that happens and try not to repeat what you did, should things go wrong, again. Rest assured things will go wrong, again.

Lastly, try to do a lot of the good stuff, the stuff you like, and do that stuff all the time. Doing the stuff you like will certainly go a long way towards not always being so serious.

Stop The Drama (Day 22) by David Guerra

Day 22 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

STOP THE DRAMA

It’s bad enough that our work days are filled with drama and depending on who we let into our lives the evenings can have just as much drama. Think about this: What does all that drama do to you?

Certainly, it does nothing good for you.

So stop creating your own drama and stop accepting drama from others as something that is “normal” and “expected”.

Once you stop creating or accepting drama you will start to see the world in a different way. Different in that what were small problems are no longer the things that bring your day to a grinding halt. Different in that you will start to feel less nervous about being around those people that drama is their middle name. Different in that you can start to live a more calm and relaxed life.

Note: if others find that they don’t want to respect you and your “no drama” policy then it is obviously time to find new people to hang out with.

Remember: YOU are who you hang out with.

Thank you,

Be Honest (Day 21) by David Guerra

Day 21 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

BE HONEST

Consider this entry as part two of WALK THE TALK.

One sure fire way to Walk the Talk is to be honest. By being honest you have nothing to hide. You have only the truth (good or bad) to back you up.

As humans, we love taking the path of least resistance whenever we can. Sometimes that path leads people to lie. Lies can sometimes get people out of trouble but for the most part it is when people forget their lies that things go awry. That is because LIES can lead to confusion. Confusion leads to strained relationships. Strained relationships lead to TROUBLE.

Good or Bad, telling truth may hurt at first, but once you are telling the truth all the time your attitude will change in that you will stand for the truth because that is what you believe, all the time. You will demand others to tell you the truth because nothing else will be accepted. You’ll start to see the world a little different by living with accepting only the honest truth, no matter if it hurts or not.

Being honest, all the time, will do wonders for your reputation. Words like integrity, trustworthy, and ethical will become associated with you. Once you get that kind of association you are, most definitely, Walking the Talk!

Thank you,
