How to live the life you want.

Step 1 is knowing what the hell you actually want :)

2020 should tell us all that life is not guaranteed and it can end in many ways, literally overnight.

How many of you thought, on New Year's Eve, that 2020 would be, at the very worst, average? I bet it was either going to be a great year or a really great year. How has it turned out? I think the answer and the point of this missive is simple;

That being said, how many of us still hold onto the bullshit we have for years? So, how do you live a life you want with all the bullshit happening around you? It is actually a lot easier than you think.

People out of work, dying, sick, broke, etc. Stop listening and absolutely do not talk about the sheer amount of bullshit there is out there. This is what I don’t get about Twitter; it is 90% negative yet so many people are so active on it. I guess it is true, negative people like negative people. Talk to those that want to talk to you. I recall being told that NOT everything needs to be talked about. I bet the person who told me that realizes, as she matures, the more you…
