Don’t Take Everything So Seriously
One of the things I need to remind myself about my job is to stop taking everything so seriously. I take my job VERY seriously and VERY personally, and it’s been stressing me out a LOT lately. This picture of me, Gene Simmons, and one of my best friends Bren Boddy-Thomas is a great reminder for me to stop taking everything so darn seriously and just smile and enjoy life.
Thanks Bren and Gene for the reminder, and for whomever was nice enough to take this silly picture of me rockin’ out!
This picture was a great attitude vitamin for me, and hopefully for you too, as I hope it makes you laugh.
And you can apply this to your life too. Find your favorite silly picture of you and share it with others who might enjoy it. Post it to your blog, print it out and post it at your cubicle, or go ahead and make it your desktop wallpaper.
Happy Monday everyone!
I just finished reading HUMOR: The Magic of Genie by Jeane Robertson. I agree with you..we should not take ourselves so seriously.
We can always find something that can make us at least smile, and be happy. Yes, even in the most awkward of situations.
Hey, thank you for visiting my blog.

Phil,
Great reminder, complete with reinforcement in the form of a photo reminder!
Do you know Gene?

Sometimes, even when twinged with irony, the only answer is to laugh.
Rocking out is a bit more than ironic laughter, but then, sometimes you have take what you can get!

Jef - great recommendation! Thanks for sharing it. I'll have to check that book out.
David - Glad you enjoyed the reminder. It's not really Gene Simmons, though it sure looks like him.
Scot - whatever it takes, I recommend doing it! Keep smiling and rock out dude!
