The Uncommon Sense
I am about to head out on vacation and thought I would drop a blog before we leave in a couple days. The world today about common sense, but I suggest we change that term to uncommon sense. It is a lot more rare today than many realize. I’ll give an example of how to use common sense. The other day I was accused of “using” someone for a gain. So, in my wisdom I sat down and thought it out. If I used this person what did I have to gain. I pondered it and realized they were very incorrect. I had nothing to gain whatsoever. Unless, you consider giving someone an opportunity to better themselves using them, then ok I used them. If you consider me contacting multiple times to talk and hang out using them, yea, I used them. This was a classic example of talking before thinking and not using common sense. I already had people, there was nothing they offered I had to have, in fact working fine without it. So, who was using who here? It is sad really because now that person can no longer be in my life, it is done and over. I could neer trust anyone that made such accusations. This is why common sense is important, coupled with tact, another lost art. I never use anyone, I provide opportunities for people to speak. If that is using you, stay home and watch tv. I will not be offended by your lifestyle and do not be offended by mine. In closing, make sure daily you try and use common sense, think before you speak and size things up. In the end this will cost this person a possible future if all goes well here at Sweet Truth Media.

We live in a world where everyone wants to please everybody, sadly it is not always the best thing to do. I am not talking about being unkind, I am talking about doing what protects you as an individual.
Many have family that always talks down on their goals, their vision. Yet, they continue to think they have to be around them. Why? Because of DNA? That is not a reason. I am not saying everyone will see your vision; in fact, most will not. However, not agreeing and fighting it are two different things. If they fight it the best thing to do is separate or limit time spent with them. Maybe you have friends that do the same thing. I hate to be the seer here; yea that rhymes, but if they fight you they are not your friends. Usually if you are trying to succeed and they are not you will not have to worry about it anyways, they will separate from you. I know this to be a fact as I have had it happen many times in my life. That is what makes friends and family different, family stays because they feel they are entitled to, friends come and go. My best advice for you today is the same thing Old Blue Eyes said; Frank Sinatra. “Let your success be your revenge.” I know I will have people come out of the “woodwork” once I get where I want to be, but that will be too late. If I cannot depend on you now as family, friends, or what have you, I will not depend on you then. You may see this as revenge, but it is not. It is straight good business sense. Why would I let someone into my work that was not there for me before? That would make me an idiot, and that I am not. In closing, watch what you let your mind dwell on and who puts thoughts there. Your mind is the greatest tool you have and you must guard it against filth. Would you let someone put trash on your plate and eat it anyways? Of course not. Let the same be said of your mind. -Sugar Shane- |
