I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way, then again I really don’t care. Ummerra… Last time I checked my name was Sincere and these were MY thoughts. What I write today may differ from what was written yesterday or will be written tomorrow. I write what I feel, how and when I feel it. This is simply a peek into my daily life and thoughts as I navigate through life. Sometimes I contemplate more than other times but again these are my thoughts.
That is all

Ponder on that because I can’t today…

Here’s a little advice for all you future business men and women out there. ALWAYS BE ON TIME!!! Better yet always be early!
There’s nothing worse than having a client waiting on you. You should be there awaiting their arrival. This is especially true if this is your first time working with or meeting them.
Being late is a major pet peeve of mine. I always make sure and pride myself on being on time. I’m usually at least 10 to 15 minutes early for any appointment or meeting.
My dad always taught me that “If you’re on time you late”. I’m not trying to waste your time or mine. I’m trying to give YOU my money so why am I waiting on you? You should be awaiting my arrival.
And another thing, always double check your appointments. Make sure the time you tell the client is the time you have listed on your calendar. That just shows poor organization and planning on your part.
That’s 2 strikes already. This company has only one left and I haven’t even met them yet.
That.is.all.

Quick question. Why is it that some people feel like they have to please everyone, no matter how it affects them? I’ll admit, I am like this to an extent. I do like to make others around me and that I care about happy but not if it will cost me my own happiness. I’m not willing to trade emotions like that. Your sadness for my happiness is not a fair or equal trade, that’s like trading Lebron for a kid you just picked up from the developmental league on a 2 day contract.
I don’t like people to be upset with me but I can deal with it. Now if someone feels like I somehow disappointed them I can’t just brush that off. I feel like disappointment is worse than upset. being upset about a situation can go away but disappointment seems to last forever. I still remember my dad saying how he was disappointed in me when I was 8. It stung then and it still stings now. I never wanted to feel that again and from then on I strived to never disappoint him again. Now anger (like love, shouts to Ike and Tina Turner) is a simple secondary emotion so sometimes that anger may not be from me but only directed towards me so that’s not an issue for me. Get mad, I could care less!
I have been mad or disappointed in people and I’m sure I will again but I never let that change how I truly feel about them. At least I try not to. I realize that most of the time I’m upset with something the they did or did not do and not with them overall. Now of course, you only get so many chances with me before I write you off. Around 2. I can’t be around foolishness for too long. “A smart man surrounds himself and associates with smarter people” – Will Smith. “Only fools talk to fools because they speak the same language” – Grandma Sincere.

So this is my first post of the new year. Here goes!!
Stop saying “this year is going to be my year” or things like that. You should make every year your year. Everyday should be better than the one before. Don’t let a date on the calendar determine when you decide to change your life.
That is all
