Steal this Blog

Walt Disney didn't copyright any of his first works. He said, famously, "I can create this stuff faster than anyone can steal it."

Must be nice.

A lot of people want to start a blog but they have no idea what to say. I think I have a solution.

Writing is actually pretty simple. There's two parts: 1. going from nothing to something, and 2. editing.

The first part, staring at a blank piece of paper and coming up with something to say is kind of a gift. To generate an idea out of thin air is something most people just can't do.

I've got the gift.

Editing? Well, editing is just a lot of hard, hard work.

That's why I think you should steal my blogs. I'm serious.  Copy them, rewrite them (edit to fit your needs), and start a blog.

You can even claim credit.  I literally have thousands of these and don't mind sharing them. You can steal anything I have.  Contact me if you want more.

You can start a blog right here, right now in about 5 minutes.

Do it.

And don't forget to put your name on them.

Does the control of your life rest inside you or outside you? It was suggested, with some scientific back up, the people that were depressed felt like there were forces outside of them controlling them and they couldn't do anything about it. The lack of control led the feelings of depression. That's pretty interesting, and probably pretty true. We humans are sort of wired to look to some central authority, external source of knowledge for answers to our situations. We are kind of...

Your problem is not your bad history

Everybody has something bad on their history. Some people don't let that stop them. Others do. The real problem here is not your bad history, the real problem is your inability to let it go. Did you ever learn how to let things go? Probably not. You probably learned to chew in your history, to relive it, to let it completely cloud your present day. You learned how to do that. Let me emphasize that again.. you learned how to do it. What you need to learn is how to let things go. What does that mean? Did anyone ever show you how to do that? I'll tell you one thing that does not work very well: talking and venting about your bad luck. Talking and venting help for a minute. But nothing changes. Change only happens when you learn how to let it go.
