Grief Sucks

From “The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F$$$”

The beauty of poker is that while luck is always involved, luck doesn’t dictate the long-term results of the game. A person can get dealt terrible cards and beat someone who was dealt great cards. Sure, the person who gets dealt great cards has a higher likelihood of winning the hand, but ultimately the winner is determined by—yup, you guessed it—the choices each player makes throughout play. I see life in the same terms. We all get dealt cards. Some of us get better cards than others. And while it’s easy to get hung up on our cards, and feel we got screwed over, the real game lies in the choices we make with those cards, the risks we decide to take, and the consequences we choose to live with. People who consistently make the best choices in the situations they’re given are the ones who eventually come out ahead in poker, just as in life. And it’s not necessarily the people with the best cards.

While I am not perfect in how I handle hard things, it is still my responsibility to represent Christ in how I handle it.

That does not excuse, however, Unchristian behavior of others towards me and the “cards” I was dealt in life.  They will need to take that up with Jesus.

I’ll Buy That For $25

I wonder how many of the young ones have heard of Ralph Nader?  Yes, I’m one of those old people who work in an office for a living, I’m blessed to be able to pay my bills.  I’m also looking forward to the freedom of retirement and entrepreneurship.

I’ve never been to Vail and never had the desire to go there.

I’ve never owned a large home (by over-entitled American standards) and am restarting my quest for financial and clutter freedom.

Let’s see what this new economy can do?

Unplugging In 2022

I’ve already limited my use of Facebook to an average of 1 hour per day.  The same thing for Twitter.  I don’t do Snapchat or Tik Tok at all.  Instagram I may check once per month for select accounts.

Starting in January, I plan to remove YouTube from my devices.  I’m addicted to it.  I still have MasterClass and Skillshare and the SaintsChannel.

I’ve also “decluttered “ Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple +, Ancestry, Patreon and Dezign Club until I pay off my debts.

I never got the Disney + so that’s one less service I need to worry about.
