Things you can’t change:
- The weather
- The unemployment rate
- People who are dumb
- The stock market
Things you can change:
- Your spending
- Your saving
- Your income
- Your life
- Your happiness
The end.

Agree with # 5! I truly believe that happiness is a choice :)
Can’t change- other people’s actions… Can change- your response.

Well said. I’d say that pretty much sums it up. We can all go home now. Happy new year :)!
I would like one sexy post on each of those in 2015.
Now you’re just getting greedy :)
Love it J$! I’d add attitude to the list as well. Merry Christmas sir!
Short and sweet. I really wish I could change people who are dumb, though!
:)
Me too, all the time!
I keep telling myself this. Our cat got out, and we’re trying our best, but we’re pretty bummed out about it.
Maybe he/she is just out shopping for Christmas presents? :)
Found him last night. A neighbor saw the flyers I posted. Dumbass cat was more excited about catnip than anything else. I don’t think he learned a lesson…
Well at least you got a happy ending to that story :) And now you know what to get him for Christmas – hah.
Great reminders – thanks!
I constantly have to remind myself about the “happiness” point. It’s too easy to let other people cripple your mood.
Very true! Often times people complain or focus on the things they can’t change, and I’d like to add “other people in general” to the list of things you can’t change. They run around in circles trying to fix things they can’t and it’s a waste of energy!
#Truth
The things that we want are all inside of us. We just have to DELIBERATELY search for them.
One of the greatest posts I’ve ever seen, by anybody!!!
Haha… I should just limit all my posts to a few bullet points then :)
I love this J$ haiku. Simple and to the point!
It’s not a haiku.
However, my reply is.
No hate, just saying.
Okay, that was fun and so very true! :)
This is why I try to limit my news intake as much as I can and still have a basic gist what’s goin’ on. The news doesn’t tell me how I can make the world a better place. It just tells me what I cannot change. The only thing I can’t change that I need to know is the weather because I need to know how many layers to put on for the bike commute.
Yes. I try to limit my news as much as I avoid rashes. Rarely come away feeling better about myself!
So for changing the weather you are making a bold statement that Storm from X-Men is not real, I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Cloud Seeding exists and changes the weather… and if you believe Jessie “The Body” Ventura HARP can control such things too.. Time to put on the old tinfoil hat
Y’all are too much, haha…
Haha love this. Preach! :)
Yes, indeed! Change starts from within and works its way outward.
True. Stock market and unemployment are beyond my control, but I have control over my spending and life, which I am gonna do better today and next year.
Yep, can’t add much more to that! Great post.
Mr. Captain Cash
The end. One sexy post. Cuz it’s true!
And that’s exactly why you shouldn’t worry about things that you can’t change and start focusing on things that you can change!
You got it, good sir.
As the minimalists like to say “you can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people around you”.
Great lists! Most often than not, people forget that happiness is a choice and that they can do something about it. There are times when we feel stuck and unhappy, but we can always move forward and change it. Life is the decisions you make, too. Better focus on things you can change rather than feeling stressed out with the number of dumb people around you.
