The trash I seem to step over is in my own house. I think of so many things I need to do but I step over most of them and I know for sure no one is coming!! Maybe you have nudged me to get busy!
Thanks daughter. I’d like to add a note to your Lift. When serving on the board the National Council for Self Esteem, I met my friend, Nathaniel Brandon. He wrote 30+ books on self esteem. I asked him once to boil down what he had learned in all his research and what was the main point of his philosophy. He answered, ‘No One is Coming!’. By that he meant what you described in your Lift..
It’s up to each one of us to add value to our lives. No one else will do it for us. No one else CAN do it for us. Personal responsibility belongs to each of us. Thanks for reminding me of this powerful idea.
Great article -- and it reminds me of how many times I walk past a task that I need to do -- almost as if I think someone will do it if I ignore it. Guess what? No one comes / no one came / no one is going to. So eventually I take care of it myself. I'd have so much more time & energy if I would just do it rather than let all those 'little' tasks stack up. And YES please vote, everyone! Your vote matters!
I voted by mail yesterday morning and today Ballotrax notified me that the USPS had made note of my ballot-mailing!! I felt so accomplished and satified

Ha! Isn’t that the truth?! We all have plenty of that!

So true! We spend so much energy putting things off. (Like I somehow did with voting...but finally dropped of my ballot today. Felt good!)
