10 Observations For Dealing With Life’s Journey in the New Year
Happy 2013! Although I am naturally skeptical of a year ending in “13” it won’t stop me from eagerly anticipating the tidings inherent in a new year. On that note, I have reflected on our past year’s journeys through Carmageddon. Here are a few souvenirs from the road that I brought home.
1. Attitude is everything & it’s the only thing you truly have any control over. Flights get delayed, luggage gets lost and sometimes you are booked into a hotel with a circus theme.
2. Make memories instead of acquiring stuff. I have a hard time remembering Christmas presents of the past. I will never forget the sunset over the Grand Canyon.
3. Try new things. Get out of your comfort zone. You may be surprised or at least have some good content for your blog!
4. Move your body. Get off the couch. Yes, your joints will ache and you’ll be tired but a body in motion STAYS in motion.
5. Become a master of the art of compromise. It’s an unrealistic expectation to always get your way. However, if you set up the rules you usually have an advantage.
6. We need to connect more with our fellow humans and I don’t mean in a Facebook “like” sort of way. I mean up close and personal interactions.

7. Question more & don’t believe everything you read or hear. Consider the source and what’s in it for them.
8. You are what you eat. Garbage in, garbage out. If you don’t feel well analyze what you are putting inside of you. Don’t expect high performance on crap fuel.
9. Have a creative outlet. Sing, dance, compose, draw, act, photograph, sew, cook – just for the fun of it. We are creative beings and need to express that.
10. Appreciate what you have now.
