Your BELLS & WHISTLES

Your BELLS & WHISTLES

Please DON'T get me wrong here.  Your BELLS & WHISTLES are most welcome because that's part and parcel of life.  Boosting and enhacing our life and our relationships with our loved ones really need those BELLS & WHISTLES.  So, you might wonder:  So what gives? What is it that bothers us?  Hmmmmm, not that it's bothersome but in life, beside all those BELLS & WHISTLES, we need to make and shape things to be content-heavy and not that hollow that seemingly makes life alive via BELLS & WHISTLES.  We just DON'T want you to waste your life.  And while no one sets out to fritter away one's time, who knows💎💎💎

Let's do some basic number crunching.  As per studies, each of us has roughly 27,000 days to live, subtract a third or so of that for sleeping and another chunk for those early formative years which you DON'T remember and CAN'T just control, you're left with a pretty terrifying low number.  Oooooops i'm sorry, this is NOT to depress you.  But as the great philosophers have reminded us, remembering the SHORTNESS OF LIFE is what spurs us all to live authentically⏳⏳⏳

And frankly, when you are cognizant of the fact that time is short, trust me, you will value it appropriately.  And when you value time appropriately, you just DON'T want to waste it.  And if you have any sense at all of how precious life is, you will then tend to avoid obvious ways to fritter away your hours and years, just like many TV and movie binges.  But there are many ways to let life pass you by that are less easy to spot and therefore more dangerous.  So, HOW can we complement the BELLS & WHISTLES?  DON'T surround yourself with the 'WRONG PEOPLE'.  Just choose to spend your time with those where you will be productive and happy.  Be wary to end up with a recipe for wasted time📌📌📌

Obviously, there are many ways we can go wrong [like, God forbid, spending and wasting your energy dealing with manipulators and narcissists], whew.  BUT one of the most disastrous can also be the easiest to fall into because it's based on kindness and optimism, sticking with a relationship of any sort simply because you were thinking the other party will change✅✅✅

But again, that's another recipe for tons of wasted time.  In fact, studies have proven that RELATIONSHIPS REQUIRE MAINTENANCE' but again there's a difference between maintaining a good relationship and trying to force a bad once that doesn't make much sense to begin with.  When you're fundamentally incompatible with someone [whether that's in business or in romance], cut your losses or risk wasting too much of your limited time.  Always remember folks that we should not end up with a 'hollowed life' that goes with those BELLS & WHISTLES.  Our need is to have a substantive and meaningful life no less❗❗❗
