How to be content with what you have

Let me ask you a question — did you know the top 3 New Year Resolution is to be happy? (Right next to losing weight) It’s true! So I’m here to help you out on how to be HAPPY with what you got …

You see, when I followed these principles I became HAPPIER AND HAPPIER until I couldn’t be anymoe happy. How so? By following a set of principles to make your life stress free.

Here’s how to do it …

1. Have a “throw useless stuff out” day

Each day of the week, I throw something out of the house. So far I threw away old PC, printer, CRT monitor, clothes, furnitures etc etc.

Less stuff is good for you. Less clutter, less stress, less time protecting it, dusting it, protecting it, maintaining it ad infinitum.

2. Reduce expense — big tme

People work to pay their bills. Well, have less bills! Cut off your phone line, use your celll phone. Cancel your gym subscription and go outside to work out. Eat out in a restaurant once a month and cook at home.

3. Do things you like

Never hang out with a person you don’t like, attend events you hate, or buy things to impress people. Simple common sense advice that will practically guaranteed to save you tons of time, head ache and money in the long run.

Putting it all together:

Take 30 minutes of your day to unclutter your stuff. Then take another 30 minutes to reduce your expense (calling the companies and canceling the service). Then take another 30 minutes on another day to make a list of things/people that you don’t want to spend time with and get away from them.

Try it for 7 days; you’ll feel better.

Why I don’t bother with New Year Resolutions

Let me ask you a question — why is Betty having the same New Year resolution (lose weight) for the past 10 years? And I say, hey Betty, if you wanna lose weight keep the bacon out of your mouth.

Here’s the most common New Year Resolutions (regardless of what year it is)

1. Lose weight
2. Stop procrastinating
3. Fall in love
4. Drink more water
5. Get a tattoo

If you look deeper, it’s all about the CULTURE.

Maybe if Betty didn’t go to Mcdonalds everyday, eat processed chicken, walk around for a bit, she might lose some weight!

Maybe if Betty didn’t lurk on facebook, update her twitter while she’s on the tiolet, and lose some weight so she can “fall in love”.

Also — DRINK MORE WATER? As oppose to what, oil? Here’s what you do, you put water in the kettle, you boil it … THEN YOU DRINK IT. No need for bottled water, ice tea, green tea, juice, milk, or oil.

Also I laughed at the get tattoo New Year Resolutions which is a cultural fad. Ask those guys who got a barb wire tattoo back in the early 90s how they’re feeling about their out-dated fad tattoo.

New Year Resolutions — just a form of procarastinating, except it’s 365 years long.

Stupid Bull **** Everyone is Guilty Of

First off, I don’t care about Tiger Woods. Never did, never will. He’s not a role model, he’s not a hero, he’s just a guy famous for hitting a ball around with a crooked stick. That’s it! And I don’t care if he cheated on his wife either — millions men do, doesn’t mean it he deserve TV time.

So I don’t watch TV, never do for the past 6 years because I know it’s just stupid bull ****. The news, the advertisements, the stupid reality TV shows, all mundane, boring stuff for mundane, boring people.

So I don’t watch TV, subscribe to youtube channels, tweets, or blogs.

Protip: Betty can lose 52 pounds at the end of the year, if she only took that 45 minutes to exercise everyday. 1 pound a week, 52 pounds a year. Not rocket science.

Second off, I log on facebook ONCE a year. That’s it. I briefly check for my friends’ pictures and maybe reply to some notes. Then I log out, and good bye facebook for another 364 days.

With that said, I don’t check emails either (I’m on a roll here). The only time I log in to check my emails is to confirm website registerations or recovering passwords, so I log on my email 2-4 times a month. (Usually for 2 minutes)

Of course, I don’t wanna give you the impression I’m a hermit. I talk to people either via phone, or face to face. None of this twitterin’, facebookin’ or emailin’ non-sense. Tweeting while I’m sitting on the tiolet at Mcdonalds sounds interesting but I haven’t tried it yet.

So what do I do with the free time? Socialize. Build a business. Exercise. Write.

I’m not sayin’ my way is the “best way”, but if you find yourself running short on time everyday, examine it and cut back on stupid bull ****.
