Happy New Year??
If you’re feeling like a failure, read this.
It’s a New Year! And now more than ever you may get baited with the feeling of failure and unfulfillment even when like the rest of us, you’re simply beginning this year from the scratch.
I’ve had my fair share of experiences to know that when you’re hurt the most, everything usually seems bigger and more serious than it normally would have been, even when it’s not.
PICTURE THIS:
Your baby brother steps on your well shone Oxfords.
Calm!
Your car goes psycho just as you’re about to leave the house.
Calm!!
Your two German Shepherds, Choco and Milo, rub their feet on your carpet and leave a few ‘keepsakes’ on your door mat and you explode!
(this actually happened this afternoon).
Chaos!!!
Well, I didn’t handle my dogs “doing their business on the mat” very well and ended up chasing them in fury, much to their hearty amusement, while I was sweating buckets.
Outcome?
More anger!
Not only did I aggravate myself, I gave my dogs a joyous afternoon run.
