How True Are These 40-Year-Old Lyrics?


I was driving along today after dropping Connor off at his 'special' school - and merrily singing along to a Beatles song...

Suddenly - the words jumped out at me -

"Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend."

So it doesn't annoy you - these lyrics are from "We Can Work It Out". Written almost 40 years ago - and they are still as true today!

If I could choose a catchphrase then this sentence would certainly be in my top 5. I see it every day - people getting stressed over petty things that they shouldn't give the time of day.

But they do. Why?

Is it because they live empty lives? Maybe.
Is it because they're bored? Perhaps
Is it because they haven't got more important things to worry about? Almost certainly.

If you have a purpose...a goal...a vision...a 'reason why'...then you won't want to clutter your thinking with little problems.

Your mind works like your stomach does in McDonalds. Once you've had one Big Mac - you fancy another!

If you can constantly feed your mind with positive thoughts, actions, and words - then all those stupid little arguments and annoyances won't matter anymore.

You'll be too busy moving forward to notice them as they get left behind.
