Review52

 

At 52, I have quite a few opinions. This blog is about my opinions.

1. Get to the point. Stop your chatter. It's really so annoying.
2. There isn’t shit you can do about your past. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
3. Believe in something. Things don't happen by accident.
4. There is no such thing as luck. Anything that appears to be luck is synchronicity.
5. To be successful; show up early, stay late and be friendly. That's it.
6. Don’t use big words to impress people. No one knows what those words mean.
7. Stop your fucking whining. It doesn’t help your situation and it’s annoying.
8. If you ask for advice, take it.
9. If someone tells you something, believe it.
10. People have free will. No matter what you say or do, people will do what the fuck they want.
11. If someone is talking shit to you, remember the term ‘projection.’ Most likely, they are talking about themselves.
12. You don’t need to attend every argument that you are invited to.
13. No matter what is wrong, ask for help.
14. Stop worrying, most things that you worry about don’t happen.
15. Do all things in moderation and don’t do the wrong things at all.
16. Don’t be an asshole. You know when you are doing it. Just don’t do it.
17. Talk is cheap.
18. You will live well, stay fit and die anyway- so enjoy yourself.
19. Don’t compare yourself to other people. You have no idea what their life is really like.
20. Never say it couldn’t happen to you or your kids. You have no idea.
21. Anything you have to think about too much is not a good thing. Ever.
22. Pay attention to ‘red flags.’ They are not a decoration. They are there to warn you.
23. If it doesn’t feel right, it isn’t.
24. Make a list and do the shit on the list. It's that easy.
25. Technology has ruined communication. Pick up the phone and call someone or go sit down and have lunch with them. Texting is not a relationship.
26. Ask for what you want. Other people can not read your mind.
27. Interview old people. They will die and you will wish you had done it.
28. Ask people questions. People love to talk about themselves.
29. Remember, everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
30. It’s all about what you can live with and what you can’t. That is the line, don’t fucking compromise yourself.
31. People don’t change unless they have a spiritual awakening.
32. Have some fucking common sense. Seriously.
33. Pronounce words correctly. Everyone notices.
34. Stop yelling. A whisper has more impact.
35. There is no such thing as normal.
36. Stop your pity party. Shit happens to everyone.
37. Find something good about everyone you meet and tell them.
38. Time goes by anyway, so do the things you want to do.
39. In any situation, decide if you want to be right or be happy.
40. In deciding anything, remember you get what you chose. Everything is a choice.
41. Express your appreciation to everyone all the time.
42. Let go of your attachments to possessions.
43. Be rigorously honest in everything you do.
44. Make other people feel special. You may be the only person that does.
45. Not everyone needs to know what you are thinking all the time.
46. Not everything is a crisis.
47. Don’t burn bridges. You never know how people from your past can help you in the future.
48. Always have empathy, energy and enthusiasm.
49. We are all just as sick as our secrets.
50. Listen carefully to what people brag about. That is usually their problem.
51. Have good hygiene. Brush your damn teeth and use deodorant.
52. If you didn’t create it, you can’t control it or change it- let it go.
