I was just reading Men’s Health magazine and there is an article on Barack Obama our next President. Whether you are for him or against him – I don’t really care.
I’m not here to tell you who I voted for yesterday because the last time I decided to talk about politics in the blog I got shit for two days afterwards. And all I was asking is who’d you prefer to date, Obama or McCain?
None of you seem to care about my political views – all you want me for is my advice! So I’m going to give it to you today.
So in this article, Barack Obama said something very interesting. He said that if you want to avoid disappointing others, don’t disappoint yourself.
I find that concept really interesting. You have to start answering to yourself. You have to start looking at yourself and thinking about whether or not you commit to yourself.
Do you commit to yourself? Are you committed to your goals? Are you a person of your word?
All you have in life is your word. If you can’t go ahead and take action, and you keep disappointing yourself, you’re going to do the same thing to other people.
So maybe you’re not ready for a relationship. If you are someone who disappoints yourself on a regular basis because you cant seem to stay committed to goals or appointments, then don’t start getting involved with anybody else.
Right now, you need to understand that you have to start embracing yourself and listening to yourself. You have to start redeeming yourself – to you.
And as for the election yesterday – whatever. This ain’t no political blog. This is a dating advice blog. If it was political, I’d tell you right now what I think and where I believe our country needs to go – but none of you seemed to care the last time, when I posed the important question to you: who would you rather date, Obama or McCain?
And as far as my mindset today…..I enjoyed every minute of lasts nights election. Where were you last night when history was made?
And whether you love him or not how do you feel this morning when you woke up to a whole new beginning?
We just witnessed history and no one man can change the mess of the last 8 years but we now have a new attitude and direction.
How do you feel today about this.
Let it out its good for you!!!
Having a direction is good. Having a direction based on hope and dreams is always more positive than having a direction based on fear.
No matter what happens in my life, I always try to make choices and take action. By the simple fact that I take action, I allow myself to create the outcome I want. My desired outcome doesn’t always happen the way I want… but at least, I can say… I did it.
I agree with Khiem. Every day moves us towards a certain direction. I would rather go towards something that will make me a better person than move away from what I am afraid of.
Yesterday was a historic day and I’m glad that I was able to be a part of it. If I had a choice, I’d date McCain’s wife. She’s a drifter and that’s pretty hot!
Anyway, Kheim and Taras have the idea. Take action and put yourself in the right direction. You do have the ultimate power to decide your fate. It’s what you do with it that’s up to you.
And in the end, it’s all about becoming the best person you can be.
The only one I wouldn’t date would be Palin, I’d give the rest of them a chance, even ol’ Biden.
I was watching a movie with limited access to the internet but when I heard uncontrollable cheering I knew who had won.
For some reason I really want to read what you originally had on the front page of your blog! Do you remember…when you went to McDonalds and …had to take a massive shit/throw up?
i consider myself who’s very committed to my purpose and my goals.
however i do get frustrated at times when i don’t reach my goal after committing for a long time!
hey david, i can’t read those words start with
“I’m sitting on an airplane right now to New York City in coach, which is a whole other treat in itself. I hate flying coach. Whenever I fly I always try to upgrade with all of the certificates I have. Not to sound like a total snob, but I have to tell you something – once you fly business class, it’s really hard to go back to coach. Remember that first bite of a McDonald’s hamburger and h …”"
why it is differents ?? but today blogs is “How Good Is Your Word” am i right or my eyes killing me ??
Rock on man! Excellent topic! I fully agree in the importance of keeping your word. It’s all you really have in life, so make it worth it.
Cheers!
I’d love to be Palin’s intern!!! lol
I blogged about the election last night, but nobody bit my head off. Aahhhh, the bliss of anonymity.
As for the topic your post… A man of honor in our midst! Very nice. *Blush* I think I’m crushing on David Wygant.
yes, have principles in life. Thats not something I really could identify in either of the candidate’s speeches too clearly. a purpose and a direction? didn’t really see that either.
not to be pessimistic, but we ll see what happens. I think this has been an overly emotional campaign and we re in for some surpises when execution actually occurs.
I only have a few problems with lastnights turnout. alot of us voted for Obama on Nov 4th. and the demacrats now control the house, the senate, and the white house with large majorities. not many people remember what it was like when this happened last. Now we can have no excuses. The government can fix everything without a problem. But the biggest problem is the only thing that changed last night was the presidency. but now the house and the senate control the country, because they have a close enough majority to over ride a veto. So now if Obama decides that a plan of action isn’t good for the country. thats to bad because his veto is useless. there is no more ballance of power. Obama needs to build some good allies in the senate so he has a little control over the future of this country. You have to remember that the people in charge of congress have allways been there and will run wild if Obama doesn’t keep them on a short leash. There will be good changes but alot will be really bad, and Obama needs to be able to stop the bad ones. I hope all the best for my new president, but I am worried about the morons who will try to run wild over him.
Still feeling pretty lucky (see my previous comment to Get Out and Vote) – But I would feel fine regardless of who won this time because I believe that they are both honorable men. I took the day off from work, voted early, and hung out with CNN for the duration, and then some. It was a good day to be part of a democracy.
It’s been a long time since I thought that anyone in power was on the same page with me in the personal integrity department. Lying-ass dogs need not apply – for my vote or for my company on a date. I don’t need you to agree with my views – just be honest with yourself and about yourself. Talk YOUR talk and be prepared to walk the walk.
It is so true. Commitment to yourself is as important as self-discipline in achiving what you want in the life.
Very interesting David…
I’m just waiting for the historic day when the President doesn’t have to possess a penis, just balls.
You know David, you might as well just come straight out and say you want to talk about the resent political events – i think it’s pretty clear that you do ;o)
it’s your blog, your rules, so talk about whatever the hell you want!
I was at a house party, and frankly delighted by the results.
