Pretty Good Year

Chatted with my bestie tonight. She's awesome. We got on the topic of drama. Or rather, the lack thereof. So far, 2013 has been amazing.

It is possible to have a drama-free life. Everyone has the power to make this happen.

When life throws you a curveball, whether it's in the form of a miffed customer, coworker, friend or stranger, you can:

1. Recognize that the drama they attempt to bring to your life is theirs. They own it. It's not yours.

2. Decide on how you will or won't react to that drama. Acknowledge it. Ignore it. Do what's right for you, but keep emotion out of it - and this is easy because you've already recognized that it's not your drama, so there's nothing to get emotional about.

3. Keep on keeping on.

That's really it. Three simple rules to keep your life drama free.

Perspective is a wonderful thing. So is time.

Obviously these rules don't apply if the drama is in the form of a natural or man-made disaster.

But keep them in mind for everyday stuff.

I leave you with this...one of my favorite songs.
