Inspirational quotes - they're like glitter for the mind. They sound nice, but you end up finding them everywhere for weeks. People are always sharing these profound quotes on social media, like they've just discovered the meaning of life in a fortune cookie.
I saw one the other day that said, "The only limit is the one you set yourself." Really? Because I'm pretty sure the limit is also set by the laws of physics, my bank account, and my ability to eat only one potato chip.
And then there's the classic, "Follow your dreams." Well, my dream is to be independently wealthy and live on a beach somewhere, but last time I checked, my bank account didn't get the memo.
So, if you're feeling down, just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, as long as it's within the realm of possibility.
You know, I recently had someone call me a cynic. Me? A cynic? I prefer to think of myself as an optimist with trust issues. But you know, being a cynic can be a real challenge, especially in a world that's so obsessed with positive thinking.
I tried this positive thinking thing they talk about - you know, turning lemons into lemonade. So, I decided to turn my pessimism into optimism. I thought, "Why not? Let's give it a shot."
I tried it at work. My boss comes up to me and says, "We've got a tight deadline, but if we all work together, we can do it!" And I'm thinking, "Yeah, right. The only thing tight around here is my sanity after working with you people."
But I gave it a shot. I put on a big smile and said, "You're right! Teamwork makes the dream work!" Meanwhile, in my head, I'm imagining the dream where I'm on a beach sipping a cocktail and not dealing with deadlines.
So, the moral of the story is, positive thinking is great, but have you ever tried sarcasm? It's a fantastic stress reliever.
Let's talk about relationships. They say laughter is the key to a successful relationship. Well, someone forgot to tell my ex that, because the only time he laughed was when he realized he didn't have to take out the trash anymore.
You know you're in a long-term relationship when "Netflix and chill" actually means watching Netflix and chilling on opposite ends of the couch. And the most intimate thing you share is the same taste in pizza toppings.
But hey, at least being single has its perks. I get the whole bed to myself, and I can eat garlic knots without worrying about morning breath. So, if you're ever feeling lonely, just remember, being single is like being in a room with no spiders. Sure, it's a little empty, but at least you can sleep in peace.
Have you guys noticed how self-help books are everywhere these days? I mean, you can't walk into a bookstore without tripping over a stack of them. I picked one up the other day, thinking maybe it's time for a little self-improvement.
The first chapter was all about positive affirmations. You know, looking in the mirror and saying, "I am confident. I am successful." So, I tried it. I stood in front of the mirror and said, "I am confident. I am successful." And my reflection in the mirror just gave me this look like, "Really? You believe that crap?"
Then I flipped to the chapter on finding inner peace. It said, "Embrace the power of now." So, I tried living in the moment. I'm sitting there, trying to enjoy my coffee, and all I can think about is the laundry I have to do, the bills I have to pay, and that weird noise my car makes.
So, I closed the book and thought, "You know what would bring me inner peace? A nap. A nice, long nap.
