Time For a Cool Change

"The more things change, the more they stay the same" - Proverb

After years of struggling to find my equilibrium, it's safe to say that I've yet to come to terms with this chapter of my life.  I believe I'm experiencing a recession in my life.  And yes, it's costly!  

Am I scared?  Yes!  But I'm ready to move on.  Change is the only solution to my situation.  However, my sentimentality has prevented me to move on.  But when I give it more thought, I think I'm just being an arrogant son of a bitch!

Why am I worrying about other people and what they may say about me if I made decisions for myself?  Why am I even trying to flatter myself into thinking that they actually give a fuck?  Did I just say the word "fuck"?  Oh no!  I'm gonna burn in hell and turn off a lot of people.  Or maybe not because people actually don't care about what I say anyway.

But I need change, a cool change.  

Here are some of the changes I need to make in my life in order for it to be better!

Order - I need to prioritize the people and goals in my life.  I just can't operate like a "chicken without a head".  And yes, I must say "goodbye" to some people who are time wasters.

The Habit of Saying "NO" - I admit.  I am a "people pleaser".  If I can say "yes" to make everybody happy, I would.  But should I?  No!  Whoa!  I just said it.  I need to say "No" more often.  I need to be able to say it without feeling guilty.  Doing this will give me more time to focus on my life's Order.

Establish Boundaries - I believed that what's mine is also yours!  Share the wealth right?  I loved the fact that other people were enjoying the fruits of my labor... until they started taking most of what I worked for.  LOL!  Well, it wasn't really funny.  Establishing boundaries not only makes it hard for people to abuse what I want to be charitable of, but it also protects what I've worked hard for to achieve.

Slow Down - I'm not in my twenties anymore.  My doctor has advised me to slow down.  I shouldn't stress over useless things.  I should appreciate what I currently have.  At my age, I'm simply chasing the years of my life.  But do I really need to chase it?  I'm just gonna walk behind it and enjoy what life has to offer.  Simple pleasures rock!

Sleep More - Do I really need to do a Game of Thrones marathon?  Do I really need to be up at 1am and consume only 3 hours of sleep.  My dad dies of a stroke because he abused his body.  Why am I following in his footsteps?  I still want to see my children grow!

Revamp the Menu - Everything starts in the kitchen.  If I want to live longer, I need to stay healthy.  I can't be eating all those greasy stuff!  Gotta change what's inside my fridge and pantry

A New Mindset - A humble heart.  I need to get back to basics.  Yes, I need a Savior in my life.  I really need Jesus!  I need to reconnect.  This whole "I can make it on my own" really doesn't work for me.  It feels empty!

There are so many things I need to work on in my life to make a cool change.  I'll start with these bullets first.  I know I'll get far.  But in order to get a ahead, I must follow through with it.  Or else it doesn't make sense to even begin.

Yes I know.  It's time for a cool change!
