Be COOL (Part 4)

Have you ever noticed that life is just not fair, or is it just me? Chances are today, something will happen to you that just isn't right. What are you going to do about it? My suggestion, and my writing over the next four days will be about how to be "cool" when things are not the way we want them.

L- LET it go! Probably the toughest steep of the whole process. It's hard not to want to seek revenge, to get even, or to extract what's due. But it's imperative to let it all go. These types of feelings will eat you up, drive you mad. They also rob you of the inner peace that "being cool" should give you.

If you carry around those feelings of "wait until later", it will be even harder to be cool next time the same or similar thing happens. Don't let it happen! Remember you have other options if you remain calm and open to new ideas. If you got burnt, protect yourself, of course. "Once bitten, twice shy" is not just a great song title form Great White. It's good life advice. But it doesn't mean to lie in wait, hoping for your pound of flesh.

To conclude, I believe Theodore Sturgeon once said, "90% of everything is crap". Not everything is as important as it always seems. Take some time to put things in perspective and "Be Cool".

Have a great Monday!!
