There are matters that are too important to ignore or leave to chance. These are salient moments.
Bring your own joy or bring your own bitching.
It’s really that simple.
There are a chosen few who have discovered the secret to life in knowing that it is essential to show up with your own joy if you expect to have joy for lunch and dinner.
It is not provided.
The American freeway system will not roll out joy for you on your way to work. Your job is not necessarily geared to your happiness. Certainly your children and family have so many pursuits that they don’t have time to plan a special dish of “giddy” for you.
And the entertainment industry in this country…Well, let’s just say they seem to enjoy themselves.
If you don’t bring your own joy you will fall prey to succumbing to the overpowering nastiness of those who bring bitching.
Just in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll give you some examples of those who show up bitching. Here are a handful of the statements they make:
1. “I’m not a morning person.”
2. “I didn’t sleep well (again).”
3. “I don’t talk until I’ve had my coffee…”
4. “Those drivers are crazy.”
5. “My kids are good…just presently screwed up.”
6. “What’s with Trump?”
7. “America is getting great again.”
8. “I’m not prejudiced, but…”
9. “I think I have cancer.”
10. “The world is so evil…”
11. “The polar ice caps are melting.”
12. “I love my dog more than people.”
Brace yourself.
This onslaught of negativity will come at you without remedy. There is no cure. These people have already decided that bitching IS their joy. Therefore, they are only comfortable around fellow-bitchers.
They even want you to change the term from “bitching” to “complaining.” (It just sounds a little better. And of course, we all know that life is all about how it sounds. NOT.)
So here is your salient moment:
BYOJ (Bring Your Own Joy) or BYOB (Bring Your Own Bitching)
It is a daily conflict which faces each and every one of us, and determines the quality of our souls and often reflects the healthiness of our bodies.
