Your next move

Most people spend more time deciding what their next move is in checkers or poker, than they do about their next move in life.

I’ve made some life-changing decisions quicker than choosing what I want to eat from a menu.  And for the most part, I trust my gut for both…

What’s your next move?  Start small and build.

– Chicken or fish?
– Chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies?
– Stay where you are or move on?
– Make the same amount of money, or look for an increase?
– Mediocrity or Living like a King?

 

No one can make a move for you.

If you’re waiting for a tap on the shoulder, or for someone else to make a decision for you, forget it. It ain’t happening.  It’s all on you.

So, what’s it going to be… Chicken of fish?

Let me be blunt…

“Let me be blunt”: This usually means that someone is about to tell you something you’re not going to like -or- agree with.  What they think is the absolute truth is only THEIR version of the facts. THEIR version of reality.

“Let me be blunt” is a phrase leading to a statement, leading to an emotion, leading to a feeling that you may not like or want to deal with.

I DON’T want anyone to be blunt to me.  Sugar coat it, don’t tell me the absolute truth. Please don’t make me feel bad. It’s already been a tough day.

Of course, if it’s your MOM, you have no choice. (Yes mom, I know you only want the best for me…) But when complete strangers write anonymous comments???? WTF

Problem is, there are so many places online to be blunt these days, that the temptation is just too great.

I know, I should have thicker skin (which I write about in another post), but, I can’t help myself.

A thousand people can love and worship what I do, but if just one negative comment shows up, it feels like a thousand paper cuts.

Anything that can make me roll up into a fetal position is not welcome in my world.

What can I say?

I know… “Let me blunt”: “Keep it to yourself.”

Mr. Optimum’s Blog is here

This is the first of many posts…

You’ll excuse me for using a caricature of myself as the “blog mascot”.  I’ve always had trouble holding my head up straight (ask my mother),, and finding sunglasses to fit on my humongous head…

But… I do know how to get a point across.

Comments are welcome. But – keep the bad ones to yourself… Ha! like that would ever happen…

The purpose of this blog is simple.  I’m trying to empty my head of dozens of stories, thousands of ideas, and millions of random thoughts.

Well… Aren’t we all?

Enjoy,
