| 33. Inner Resources To know how other people behave takes intelligence,but to know myself takes wisdom. To manage other people’s lives takes strength,but to manage my own life takes true power. If I am content with what I have, I can live simply and enjoy both prosperity and free time. If my goals are clear,I can achieve them without fuss. If I am at peace with myself,I will not spend my life force in conflicts. If I have learned to let go,I do not need to fear. The Tao of Leadership by John Heider |

| Change your Life: Most of us complain - we don’t think we do - but we do. We complain about work with family and we complain about family at work. It seems like a harmless way to bond, make conversation, or just vent, especially when our complaints are justified. We do it because we feel hurt, disappointed or criticized and we justify ourselves by “pleading our case” to others. While, complaining to our husband about a negative co-worker may make us feel better for a little while, it won’t solve the problem. The trick is to make complaining count. Complaining to anyone and everyone just makes us seem like whiners. Valid complaints are useful when they are directed to the person who can actually do something about it. So, don’t go underground with your issue, have the strength to confront it head-on. EXAMPLE: That negative co-worker: 1. Decide to stop whining. 2. Decide to talk to the co-worker. 3. Plan your discussion: first, think about their side of the issue, ask to speak with them alone, avoid accusations and demands, express your concern as your opinion or your feeling, STOP talking and wait for their response. |

Socks are only for bowling. You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be over in five minutes. A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade. Your winter coat is made of denim. You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites. You are younger than thirty but some of your friends are over 65. Anything under 70 is chilly. You pass on the right and honk at the elderly, but pull over for a funeral. You have driven through Yeehaw Junction. You could swim before you could read. |

BOOK I JUST FINISHED ... Paint it Black by Janet Fitch (author of White Oleander) Paint it Black follows Fitch’s best selling debut, White Oleander. Her theme is again the subtle effects of a powerful, self-centered mother on an only child. Michael Faraday is a Harvard dropout who paints in the L.A. art world of 1981 and is 20-year old Josie Tyrell’s lover. Josie is a white trash escapee who has a strong sense of self, along with art, music and alcohol to keep her going. Josie is a sometime artist’s model and part of the punk rock scene. While her relationship with Michael was intense, she never quite understands Michael’s relationship with his powerful mother. In contrast, Meredith Loewy is a famous concert pianist and lives a privileged life. Their love of Michael brings them together in a bizarre union that reflects the strengths and weaknesses of women from such drastically different backgrounds. Fitch slowly, deeply develops each character with brutal honesty. The plan seems to be to just let them at each other. Josie with her youth and inexperience seems hardly a match for the worldly and privileged Meredith, yet Meredith has only bitterness to shore her up. With a plethora of cultural and artistic references and penetratingly crisp insight this novel unfolds not as a melodrama but rather as an intense psychodrama |

You think New York driver's licenses should only be valid in New York. Flip-flops are everyday wear. Shoes are for business meetings and church. Sweet Tea can be served at any meal. An alligator once walked through your neighborhood. You smirk when a game show's Grand Prize is a trip or cruise to Florida. You measure distance in minutes. You have a drawer full of bathing suits and one sweatshirt. A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level. You think everyone from a bigger city has a northern accent. You know the four seasons really are.....Hurricane Season, Love Bug Season, Tourist Season and Summer. |
| You have to drive North to get to the South. You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix. You got out of school early on Halloween to trick-or-treat before it got dark. You know that anything under a Category 3 just isn't worth waking up for. You dread love bug season. You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane Charlie, Hurricane Frances....but Charlie, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. You know what a snowbird is and when they will leave. You think a six foot alligator is actually pretty average. You were twelve before you ever saw snow, or you still haven't. "Down South" means Key West. |

| Stop Complaining! Most people are fairly reasonable when approached in this manner. Hear what they have to say before you decide on your next action. You may make a friend, but even if you don’t you’ve expressed yourself to the right person and are then free to take the appropriate next step - which may be nothing. ACTION STEPS:
