Getting On With Life

OK, so now we know 'Life Isn't Fair', and that some people are going to have it easier than others. So, the question is; where do I fit on that scale? I'm going to make a list of my assets and liabilities - no, not my finances, but finances may be on the list as either an asset or liability. I'm going to take an objective look at who I am and what I have that works as an asset for me in life, and what works as a liability for me in life. I may even ask friends and family to help me with the list. I'm going to take a legal pad and draw a line down the middle, and on the right will be liabilities and on the left assets. This could take some time as I want to make sure I have a fairly accurate and complete list. I think this may be harder than it sounds.

Scaling The Wall

Part of my LOSER mentality is I look around and realize - LIFE ISN'T FAIR! Here is the answer to that, and I found it in of all places a sitcom, a show from the late '70's, early '80's - "One Day at a Time."
The world is a ten foot wall. Some people don't seem to have much trouble getting over it. They've got everything going for them. They're strong, smart, they've got family to help them. Other people don't have it so easy. They're poor, uneducated, the wrong color, the wrong sex. Maybe they don't even know who their parents are, but if they're going to make it in life, they've got to get over that wall somehow. I'm sorry you didn't get many breaks in life. But those are the facts. Nodody is going to lower that wall. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop doing crazy things to get attention. Stop screwing up your life, and figure out a way to get over that wall.
Lemonade Lesson - Life isn't fair, don't ever forget it, but get on with your life!

First Day

I kind of hate this quote - "Today is the first day of the rest of your life.", however sometimes it does fit. I admit it I'm a LOSER, and in the past I would sort of resign myself to the fact that I was a 'Born LOSER', that it was my fate. That is a cop out, an excuse for not taking responsibility for my life. I had become an enabler and contributed to my own repeated failures and missed opportunities. Sooooo, today I start with that first step, I grab some of those LEMONS and start squeezing out some LEMONADE!!!!!!!!! I'm taking that 'one small step' on my journey, join me for this life changing journey and see where it takes us.

History Repeats Itself

Good grief! I realized that I am starting to make the same mistakes I made in the past, the things that kept me in the "LOSERS CLUB". OK, I'll be making almost daily entries as I keep a sort of 'LOSER diary' and this becomes a quasi reality blog as I start my quest to go from L-O-S- E-R to WINNER! Stay tuned, log in and take the journey with me and see how I fare, and if I succeed. Comments and advice are always welcome.

Movies, Movies, Movies

Just as some songs make me smile, inspire or psyche me up, so do some movies. These are movies that I will watch over and ove;r and just like I will tell you about songs and link to them, I am also going to tell you which movies I watch and why. So, get out the popcorn and pour yourself a big, cold glass of LEMONADE.

What Did You Eat Today?

I love music, and different songs affect me in different ways. Some songs make me smile, some inspire me, some get me psyched...I think I'll record a compilation of songs that get me psyched/inspired that I can play when I feel a pessimistic "LOSERS" mood coming on. What songs inspire you?

We tend to get what we expect.

Norman Vincent Peale

Sooooooo, expect good and great things!

You Are What You Eat??????

You may be wondering why I post movies, songs and stuff like that.... well they say you are what you eat and I believe you are what you watch, listen and read. I don't think anyone would dispute that these things have an influence on our thinking. So, keep coming back to LOSER'S LEMONADE and watch, read and listen to my suggestions and see if you don't start to feel differently about whether you are a LOSER

Tender Mercies

Have you seen the movie "Tender Mercies" with Robert Duvall? I just saw it last night on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) - great flick. The tag line from it is, " His struggle for fame was over. His fight for respect was just beginning." If you haven't seen it, see if your local library has a copy, or go to Blockbuster, but watch it. Let us know what you think, but my guess is you will like it. See what you think of Mac, is he a LOSER? I think he has made some sweet LEMONADE from his life.
