Calendar Wisdom.
For all these (3!) months I have not done well at all. All of these months I have not succeeded, even in March when I decided to stick to “Success” and “supposedly” made resolutions. No, to be more specific, I made resolutions; the only problem was I did not carry them through. But remembering the Art of Reframing, it was not a disaster, but a learning experience. So, I need a plan, I need motivation, I need to check my progress daily. I will see what will happen from now on. But I have to admit that two ideas are firmly planted in my head – Love (February’s theme) and Success (March’s theme), they are unrelated (or so it seems so far!). I have read a book by Anthony Robbins “Awaken the Giant Within” and I will be quoting him regularly. I guess I can give myself credit for at least trying to find a way – Anthony Robbins is considered to be a psychologist of change and success, even though his expertise is not indisputable. Regardless of his credentials, I believe that if I do the exercises that he suggests and take his advice with a pinch of salt, I will do better than without any plan or direction in mind. I have to stay on track! I can change almost everything, but it takes time. So, opening a new chapter…
April Fools.
Perhaps it’s light-hearted nature of Spring that brought about April’s Fool Day, the way it looks like summer one day only to be freezing the next. Take a moment to inject humour into your day. See if any of the word tiles below strike your funny bone. If not, try randomly grabbing words and putting them next to each other. Take it further: put together those words that seem least likely to be side by side. Create an absurdist collection of funny language.
Quote of the month:
“Humour is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute is crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
- Mark Twain
I tend to think that I have a great sense of humour, but some people just don’t get my jokes and in the worst-case scenario it all turns very ugly. They may get angry, offended or aggressive. I think they take themselves way too serious. Do I have to adjust all the time? I guess it is a choice… I always laugh at myself, so it must be a good Sign!
