GOOD FOR YOU - by Bobby Scott

Being in the Christmas Cheer!


But as we all know its 3 days until Christmas Day!!! Crunch time for most... which kills me!? We know this god damn day is coming for a year! EVERY YEAR!!!! There is so many people that come into my salon and are behind schedule?! WTF?! First we could actually enjoy the holiday for what it's for... and second we could save a buck!! Also with online purchase's now, there really is no excuse! So pull it together people!!!!

As for the real focus of this blog is that within this year (and boy was it a crazy year!) I have noticed that people can not... with out hesitation let the words " GOOD FOR YOU!" leave there lips! I've noticed this with some people while opening my business. They were kinda surprised? Asked why? Why the question...? What is it to this person or group what Im doing with my life? You - people are number one on this earth! Don't forget that! As long as you aren't cocky or arrogant about your accomplishments you are in the safe zone! Be happy for yourself! Celebrate!!! But celebrating only last a couple of days, maybe a week... or comes once a year... After that Shut up and get to work!

But really its been hard for people to feel good about saying those words. One of the sanest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

We're human - we get caught up in envy, we aren't always kind about the achievements of others. Whether its financial, personal, or physical gain! And that's partly because the good fortune of others can remind us that we have further to go on our journey; can awaken in us memories of a past loss or failure. And we react - negatively. Why? Why must we try to bring someone down when they are up high... we all know that the high will soon settle. It might be long or it might be short. But know that it doesn't usually last forever! How do we like it when its done to us? Not a good feeling... huh?

But we have a choice. We can choose an attitude of jealousy and bitterness. Or we can release ourselves from envy and anger, and realize that rising tides tend to raise all boats, that the good fortune of others often leads, or prompts us, to our own good fortune. Which brings me to the point of who you should be surrounding yourself with! Its your group of friends that are seeking and receiving all the achievements! Right? You are bound to me next! Putting yourself in touch with people who learn and know how to exert that positive energy are the best people to be around! So you can choose! Choose to embrace the positive, and release the negative. (What I do now is take my two hands and throw them forward in front of me... letting the negativity out! Goodbye! Ciao Ciao! Choose to live in a world of possibility.

So say right now "GOOD FOR YOU!" aloud... for reading this blog again ha-ha... but then go say it to someone you know deserves it... respect that they deserve it and mean it! Own it!!

Wishing everyone a "GOOD FOR YOU!" HOLIDAY SEASON... and maybe if you put "your positive" out there... Santa will bring you just what you hoped for...
