Wow, I’m so flattered!!!I got more compliments yesterday than I had living my past 18 years with my parents.
Anyway, one of the best I got yesterday happened while I was walking along orchard road. I was approached by this woman who told me she was looking for someone to try out a role in a commercial and asked if I’d like to try it out. I said no before my brain even processed what she had said, but by the time it had, my answer was already out. I don’t make a habit of eating my words, so naturally I just move on. Thinking back, I don’t even know what kind of commercial it was, so maybe it wasn’t that much of a compliment. My best friend and I often joke about being able to pose as a model only for the before effect never the after, maybe that was the kind of commercial she was trying to get me to try out. HA! The joke is on me.
Today…I was reminded again of why I do dislike choir once in a while. It gets really tedious sometimes having to deal with people who are very forceful about their opinion. I hate feeling trapped and out of control. Absolutely hate feeling trapped, obligated, out of control and helpless.
That reminds me of this little book about happiness which I came across yesterday.
About happy people not just accepting changes but embracing them.
About happy people not taking things too hard.
About happy people don’t get themselves attached to things, to situation, to people.
Should I embrace being put in that unfamiliar situation?
Should I just sit back and let others step over me?
Should I just let others make my decision for me?
I could, but why should I?

better mind, body & soul.
