As Useless as The G in Lasagna






There are so many things in life that (for many) serve no purpose. What do you do with useless "stuff" (advice, thoughts, etc.)?

Some funny and/or useless things I've heard of or encountered:
* people telling you to be yourself and then being judged by those same people.
* why play a lullaby for someone who can't sleep?
* putting a homeless person on house arrest.
* letting your past dictate how to live your future.
* taking advice from people who can't fix their own lives.
* worrying about things you can't control.
* buying liquor, getting drunk & then vomiting. You can get the same effect for free by sticking your finger down your throat.
* getting mad @ a company's automated telephone computer (when you can't get to the operator or the right option).
* always being angry.

We've all faced illogical, unsolicited advice (usually from people who mean well). Unfortunately, not all advice is pertinent. We know our situation best. At times, when we have to make critical or swift decisions, it's best not to let our emotions take over. We all have imperfections. We all have room to grow. There are lessons to be learned.

One way to thwart getting unsolicited and or bad advice is to limit (or stop) the amount of information you share with others. Don't waste your energy on things that don't have a positive impact on your life. Take responsibility for your own life. When you do, the negatives will roll right off of you, becoming as useless as the "g" in lasagna.
