Another Dose of Bliss

Can a 66 year old take advice from a twenty-something? The answer is definitely YES. One is never too old to learn something new and it doesn't have to be how to connect your laptop to your TV or some other techie feat.

So I have resolved to read young Lindsay's blog more often. Here's one of her latest offerings "How To Make What You Want Inevitable".

Now of course I already know how to do this, having lived a six and a half decades on this planet. The trick is Step Three. What Nike folks used to call "Just Do It". You only give up if you stop doing Step 3.

Step 1: Ask yourself what do you want?

Step 2:  What do you have to do to make sure that you get it?

Step 3:  Actually do those things. 

Step 4: Never give up.

When you are twenty-something, the obstacles may seem overwhelming. You are tempted to settle for less than the partner, career, friends, home town or weight you'd really like. Not only do they (and everyone else) need periodic Doses Of Bliss, we all sometimes need a swift kick in the keister.

I know I needed both today. Thanks Lindsay.
