Today’s quote comes from a guy who stuck a baboon in the middle of Daley Plaza. He meant the quote more for his approach to art, but it works perfectly with life for me…. Pablo Picasso.
Familiarity….. we get so bogged down with the routine of life and the comfort of getting stuck in the zone.
Sometimes you need to break down the manacles that hold you down. Could be as simple as taking a different route to work. Maybe changing your hairstyle or changing who you sleep next to. It could be just as simple as taking out the garbage
I’m not a professional athlete or a comedian. I’m not a movie actor or a conductor of a symphony.
I’m a father, a commodity broker, a friend and a neighbor. To be all of things that I am I have to be all of the things I mentioned just above.
Getting through the comedy and tragedy of life you must be the actor or comedian that puts on the show. To get through the chores of life you must be able to block blitzing linebackers and hit home runs. Unfortunately there are days when you fumble the ball or strike out at the plate.
That’s why vacations, retreats and sabbaticals are needed in life. Maybe a simple walk or a massage. Fixing a cup of tea and reading a book. These are the things that can help us break it down so we can build ourselves back up for the next day, the next week, the next month.
Buy a new scented shampoo or body wash. Get a new color of sheets and bedspread. Give yourself a manscape and maybe a pedicure. Instead of a ham sandwich everyday try a chicken salad sandwich.
Change up the routine. Breakout of the pattern that keeps you bogged down and live it up…. You have nothing to lose… sometimes you gotta say, “what the fuck!”
Bears on Thursday night in creamsicle uniforms for television ratings. I just talked about changing things up in life, but Orange uniforms might be a bit extreme…. Bear Down Chicago Bears!
