2012

Apparently the end is near, or at least the end of the Mayan's Calendar. And we know how well they lasted...find me a Mayan, that's all I have to say.
Here is the thing. We're all so quick to focus on trouble. Real or imagined, high or low potential, big or small. There isn't a damn thing you can do about it anyway so get present and enjoy the day. Make plans, follow through, participate, evolve!
Shake up your schedule. Talk up someone you never chatted with before, take a new route to work, create a different workout at your gym, listen to music previously unconsidered. Read a book. When you shake up your life, change your schedule, or handle things differently, the Gods Pay Attention To You. They're like, "Holy Shit, what's that motherfucker up to now? Wait a minute...damn! Look at her go! He didn't! Unh-unh..." They get involved then. Then contribute. They participate and agree with you. They love it.
Have a great and beautiful New Year.

Heureuse Nouvelle AnnĂ©e

  1. I've shaken and stirred my life to the right consistency, with more than a little help from you, Michael.

    Those frackin' Mayans had better be wrong;-)

    Happy New Year, Angel Man!
