Those Damn Slogans

More one day at a time.  How brilliant is that concept?  The whole essence of a good life well-lived boiled down to trying to BE where you are AT!


The big question to fire out in the Horseface household right now is: "What can you do about it RIGHT NOW."  If the answer is "nothing" then the follow-up comment is: "Then it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!  Get on with your life.  Go do something else."


Eat breakfast.  Go to work.  Pick up the kids.  Quit wasting time trying to do what can't be done.  Pay attention to what you're doing .  I was the guy who would miss two highway exits -- not one, two -- because I was furiously accomplishing something in my mind which was none of my business.  I missed half of my life because I was out in the future trying to solve problems which weren't in my power to solve.


Now sometimes there's something that needs to be done.  Then it's important to do it.  We can't let fear freeze us in our tracks when we need to take some action.  But my experience is that I get into most of my trouble messing around in things I shouldn't be messing around in.
