Don't be afraid to stick your tongue out.

Date: 2/4/2008

Too many people go through life just settling for whatever life deals them. They're afraid to take chances, to rock the boat, or to go out on a limb. They order the same meals, at the same restaurants, with the same friends. They work at jobs they don't enjoy... refusing to speak up for fear that their simple request will be denied.



Well folks, you have a choice. You can either stand there and settle for your life the way it is, or you can make some changes every now and then.



It's like the two men who are taken to the firing squad. They get tied to the posts. The captain of the firing squad comes up and asks, "Would you like a blindfold?" One guy says, "Yes, thank you very much." The other guy says, "No, I'm going to stand here and stick my tongue out at you while you're firing." The first guy says, "Shhh! You want to get us in trouble?"



Well, if you're not happy with your life, then you're already in trouble. Life is too short to be spent "just settling." Make some noise. Make some changes. Stick your tongue out once in a while!



Sincerely,
