I don't . . . (but you may)

Today is a good day to take a few minutes to review the “I don't xyz's” in your life so far.

For example: I don't like green vegetables, I don't like bullies, and I don't like narcissists.

But that's me. What say you?

I know some embrace the mindset: “I don't care if you don't like me, I am who I am.” Then there are others who believe: “I don't need anyone to fix my life, I just need someone who will listen and stand by my side while I fix my own life.”

And whether you agree or not with these types of “I don't . . .” nuances, I hope you agree with me that it does get us to thinking about the “don'ts . . . “ in our lives (and please, don't even start thinking that this reminds you of donuts – that's another issue).

So, thank you for starting to ponder this a bit. There are a lot of don't this or that considerations for us all. Like: “Don't force yourself to fit in where you don't belong.” Or . . . “If you wouldn't like it done to you, don't do it to others.” And then there is this one: “Don't be sad by what you see. It's true life has its miseries, but one thing always worked for me – worry ends when faith begins.”

Which then opens the considerations as to what are the “Do” scenarios that you embrace? But that is a whole other topic for another day. Thanks for reading all of this.
