I took last Friday off. And now I need to get myself in gear. Charge forward! Onward HO! I had a realization last week that I am hoping I can make a part of me and my life. I find I often feel bad over silly things. I am embarrassed if I put myself first or I get upset if I have to possibly say no to a person and I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable! So anyway, I decided that everyone is living in the movie of their own life and you can cast it any which way you want. And in some weird way, I wasn’t casting myself in the role of heroine. Instead I was kowtowing to everyone and thus letting others take lead. I need to rearrange roles and let myself be the star of my life. The leading lady never cares what people think of her, doesn’t care how people react… because she’s the star. And I need to start thinking a little more egocentrically. Because if there is one thing I am finding, other people are already doing this. And they clearly aren’t embarrassed by their own very selfish actions… so why should I be?

The heroine of my movie is flipping sorting Target coupons…man, I hope this plot picks up soon….
Heidi, Montag!
You want to live your life as diva Bette Davis? Hold on, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. There is an art to using people and making them feel grateful for being used. It’s called “politics”. Just observe the shameless, broken promises of manipulative politicians (re: the US Senate) and see how far that gets you. Very far indeed.
Seriously: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is worth re-reading because (allegedly) there is such a thing as a win-win scenario. I have yet to witness that phenomenon in the National Football League or any other sport except chess, where there is the occasional draw. In corporate America, chief execs make 100 times the salary of the average employee…but somehow corp America manages to convince the underlings that they are getting a “fair” wage.
The game never ends…just be sure YOU are the one who owns the game.
