10 Reasons Your Life May Suck In This New Year
This list may provoke or anger or motivate you, but do remember it is just my opinion, not a proclamation handed down from Mount Olympus.
1. You’ve had no intention of using this beginning of a new year and new decade to motivate and inspire yourself to new action.
2. You are complaining about the same stuff you complained about in 2009.
3. You haven’t reached out to a single new person in 2010.
4. You have no idea what you would ask for if a genie granted you 3 wishes.
5. You haven’t read a single book in the first month of the new year, fiction or nonfiction.
6. You couldn’t care less about Haiti.
7. You are cynical and pessimistic about politics and anything in Washington ever changing for the better.
8. You spend lots of time text messaging people you don’t care about that much about things you care about even less.
9. You use a lot of time joining silly games and communities on Social Media sites. (Yes, I mean Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc.)
10. You distribute dozens of things other people have said, quotes and aphorisms, rather than tapping into your own wisdom and coming up with your own philosophy.
None of these items are necessarily that destructive by themselves, but having several of them as current factors in your life is indicative of major stultification and stagnation.
And if you don’t see a call to action in this list, then good luck to you for the rest of the year.
