The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” Do you know the number one contributor to death? I’ll give you a hint - you deal with it every day and so does everyone else. Think you have it? Okay, read on. Winning the lottery causes stress. Filing bankruptcy causes stress. Getting married causes stress. Filing for divorce causes stress. Going on vacation causes stress. Going to work causes stress. Got it? Everything in life is a stressor, but here’s the problem - some people are letting it kill them. Are you one of them? Look friends, we are all going to die one day, but do we have to do it before our time here is not really over? Why are so many people letting this life circumstance kill them? ‘Cause they’re idiots, that’s why. I just had open heart surgery and, as I spent three weeks in rehab, I watched many of the other patients whining, complaining, and working themselves into a twit about trivial stuff. “The nurse took too long to get to my room.” “The food is cold.” “The people here are not very friendly.” Trust me, all day every day I heard nothing but complaints - and these people are still alive. Let me leave you with a simple concept. You were born. One day you are going to die. Believe me, everything in between is trivial. Why not start out the new year this time with a different mind-set? This year, you are not going to be an idiot, but you are going to live a little bit smarter with a little less impatience, and you are going to enjoy the time you have been given. Happy New Year!
