How to be Happy!

Rule #1 You only get one life so it is almost imperative that chances are taken on a regular basis.

  I know it sounds simple and it really is, follow it and you will have happiness in your life.  When we regret the things we didn't do or should have done, we actually cause more stress in our lives because we are constantly blaming ourselves for our current situation and we try to link it to a regret we have to make it easier for us to accept.  Yes I am crazy.

Rule #2  Surround yourself with happy people, and stay away from negativity.

Again my rambling ass will say that this is something you have to do,  to not want to kill yourself because your life sucks.  Being around bitchy or negative people will only cause you to feel the same, it rubs off.

There is no rule 3 because if you actually follow 1 and 2 then you don't need 3.   :)

Accept Things that do Not Directly Effect You.

The world has changed.  People have tattoos, piercings, crazy hair colors and are not your common everyday person.  That doesn't mean that they are bad people, it just means that they aren't like you. The sooner we all learn to tolerate things and people that do not effect our personal lives, our family, or our well being....who gives a shit?  If we tolerated as much as we judged, the world would be a kinder, gentler place.  We as a society have so many bigger problems to woryy about than Kate and her pink hair, or John dating Jim, it's time to move on. Life is too short. You never know what could happen, we cannot predict the future. Let's try to all get along and be peaceful to each other. It's time. 

Mary Kay, It's all Lies and Crazy People.

I posted two blog entries about my experience with The Mary Kay Company.  One, made the products sound great and the company was great and blah blah blah.  The second was about 2 months in while working for the company and it was about how I didn't feel that I fit in, felt judged for my tattoos, and wasn't selling shit.  I had comments posted from readers that were truly concerned about me and warning me to get out NOW.  I wish those comments happened before I joined that wretched company.  I write about my life experiences and I hope people will interact with me, leave me comments and wait to see how I fix my fuck ups.  Mary Kay Ash was probably a really great woman but I am sure that she is rolling over in her grave at how her company has turned out.  It's all lies and commission that never comes.  Stupid meetings about how to sell their shitty makeup and basically telling you that if you want to make money, you have to get people to join and get their commission plus a sign on bonus for you.  WTF?  So it's a cult, get people to join by telling them lies all while knowing that they will fail, just like you.  It makes me sick to my stomach to think of all the women out there being exploited by this company.  Pinktruth.com is a wonderful site that tells you how it is from real people who have been there.  I wish I would have known about that site before I signed my soul away.  Now all I can do is try to help others not fall prey to those crazy ladies.

Finding Happiness from Within (part 2)

I keep hearing the phrase "If you don't love yourself, you can't love anyone else" and it's finally sinking in.  It makes so much sense when you really think about it.  It's a scary thought and it puts pressure on the person that does not love themselves.  It is extra work, you have to learn to love yourself before you can love another. Well shit, that's just another obstacle, just a speed bump.  You can learn to love yourself, you first have to learn that what other people think of you doesn't matter.  You can't let stupid shit get to you, and at the time, that stupid shit seems big and scary but once you're past it and you look back, you almost feel dumb for worrying so much.  It gets easier the more you do it.  You can't under any circumstance let another person's opinions affect how you live your life.  If nothing else, I am learning that this is a process that takes different times for everyone. As long as you're a good person, who cares what whatserface says. She probably has a closet full of bones.  ;)

I am a Writer.

Whether I am published or not, (and I am not) I am a writer.  I breath, eat, shit, writing.  It's all I think about; poetry, songs in my head, stories in the night, it's my life just as the person I am, it's my soul.  Will I ever be published?  I really don't care, now don't get me wrong, that would be amazing but my real purpose is only to touch someone's life by something that came from my soul. To help someone, to make a person not feel alone, to be there for a human in need, that's what I want.  It makes me so happy when anyone reads my words so I want to thank the people who have supported me and made comments.  Please feel free to interact with me, I am just a human and I make mistakes.  It's ok to make mistakes... it's the way you handle it that defines it all.  I am very random and I appreciate people keeping up.  LOL.
