30 Days to a better ME
I recently ran across an article entitled 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself written by Marc Chernoff on his blog http://www.marcandangel.com/ .
After reading it I decided I would make a post each day in the next 30 day month, so this series began the first of November. My thought I would break the list out to one a day and focus on that for each day. If you missed the earlier posts, you can still catch them on my blog.
I also prefer to phrase things in the positive, so planned to take the DON’T and put it in the form of a DO. However, as I began to start this “series” I found that the author had just posted a follow-up to the original article in the affirmative as I had planned, so I am sharing both the “DON’T” and the “DO”. Links to the original articles are included in this post so if you just can’t wait for the dispensing of one a day, feel free to enjoy the wisdom of Marc all in one sitting if you choose, or follow along with me for the next 30 days.
from the DON’T list
Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn’t work.
In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.
from the DO list
Start giving new people you meet a chance.
It sounds harsh, but you cannot keep every friend you’ve ever made. People and priorities change. As some relationships fade others will grow. Appreciate the possibility of new relationships as you naturally let go of old ones that no longer work. Trust your judgment. Embrace new relationships, knowing that you are entering into unfamiliar territory. Be ready to learn, be ready for a challenge, and be ready to meet someone that might just change your life forever.
