Day 51 Don't Stand On Ceremony

Day 51

There are times in life when we let our expectations of what others should do, say or feel, dictate how we start to feel about them when they don't conform to our vision. If you wait around for someone to call or for opportunity to knock on your door, you will very likely be disappointed more often than not. If you want to talk to someone or see them it is your job to reach out to them not wait around for them to come to you. The same goes for new experiences, new jobs and all new adventures. You have to go after things even if you had it set in your mind that they would come to you. Stop standing on ceremony and get out there and be the one to make the first move. This is how you make yourself happy and start your life moving in the direction you want it to go in.

Day 50 Avoid Morning Confrontation

Day 50
I remember the day I didn't clean my room before school and my mom was so upset with me. She was a little angry and I went to school feeling bad and down. The feeling lasted throughout the day and when I got home I told her she had to wait until after school to confront me from then on. 25 years later I shared the same opinion with my sister when she was upset with her son one morning. It isn't always easy and you don't always have control over it, but it is very important to try your hardest to avoid morning confrontations. Even if it means that you send an email later in the day expressing your feelings or you write it down to remind yourself to address it later that night, do your very best to keep morning interactions light and positive. Set the tone for your whole day by steering clear of heavy morning discussions.
