Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 (COMPILATION)
12 years ago
Welcome to Bo-san's Journal! =D I did some suggestions for 2013 on my FACEBOOK PAGE and they were kind of a hit! x3 So I decided to share them on Fur Affinity too.
Enjoy! ^^
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #1:
Remember to always be yourself. =3 But be a yourself that is not an asshole. If you believe that's impossible, then don't be yourself. Sometimes it's good not to be yourself if you are an effing self-centered prick.
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #2:
Make your own life easier by being straight to the point with your feelings. For example, if you want to show your friend or mate that you miss them and would like them to spend more time with you, you could tell them that straight, instead of arguing like a bitch or acting like a dick to get some attention. Let's all make our lives easier in 2013. =3
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #3:
Don't try to lose weight only for aesthetical reasons. Do it if you need a hobby or because you ought to improve your body condition for health reasons. You don't need to lose weight to be sexy to someone! Really, I mean it. In this modern, crazy world of bizarre, there are all kinds of fetishes, from ear fetish to nail fetish(one of my fetishes, actually!) and each one of us are surely to fit in one. So, let's take advantage of this weird world and feel sexy to those who appreciate our unique traits. =3
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #4:
Take care of those who love you. Being them family, friends or mates. I've heard this sentence once: "We are not responsible for someone's happiness." Indeed. We are not responsable to make people feel happy because happiness is a state of mind achieved by one's own effort. However, we are responsible for giving love, attention and affection to those who love us. I'm very very sorry to tell you, but, like Exupéry said, you are responsible for those who you have "tamed", I mean, for those who you are close to. You are not someone's reason for happiness, but why not being the reason of a smile? :)
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #5:
Avoid complaining about how everybody in the whole universe, except you, is an effing asshole. Consider the fact that you might also be a "villain" in someone's life. Believe me, there might be someone complaining at what you believe is the best of you. And they might be right or wrong about you depending on the circunstances. Concentrate your energy on yourself and avoid giving credit to those who annoy you.
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #6:
Understand that the different fields in our lives aren't necessarily supposed to be mixed up. For example, if you are mad at your boss, why does it have to influence the way you treat your friends? I mean, you want to say "Fuck off!" to your boss, not to your friends! The same thing backwards. If you are having a problem with someone you love, don't let it affect your performance at work. What you can do is to let the people who have nothing to do with your issues know how you are feeling, that you are sad or angry about something that happened to you. I believe that the others don't deserve to pay for our state of mind.
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #7:
Stop looking for happiness. Pursuing for happiness makes us even sadder, because it's a common human trait to never feel satisfied. As we usually believe that we are never where happiness is, we could pursue for a more reachable goal. There are many things that could give us joy, like studying more, being more present at your family's house, working at an NGO.. Maybe we need to feel good with ourselves and the rest of the world, but not necessarily look for "happiness" as a fantastic state of euphoria.
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #8:
Do not mistake "becoming strong" and "becoming mature" with "being an ashole" in order to preserve your own well-being. Don't let the problems and hardships make you become a full-fledged anus. They are your chance to become a better person in many aspects, like being more collected, more cautious, caring more about your own feelings or more responsible about your actions and the others. But acting like a dick isn't the answer. Because that would be, actually, a sign that you didn't learn anything at all. Let's really learn with our experiences and let's let grudge behind. =3
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #9:
Do NOT forget to present the Blue Dog at his birthday! The Blue Dog deserves prsents, specially them tummy rubs and éclairs au café. It's in 21st of January, by the way. ;3
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #10:
Dream. Dream about a better future and make plans. Don't be afraid. Dream and then fight for making things happen. Fight the best you can. There is a worse feeling than fear, that is REGRET.
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #11:
If you need, look for help. There are things that we cannot deal with all by ourselves. The weight of some situations may be a burden too heavy for us to carry on our shoulders. In this case, look for your friends and family. If it's too much, look for professional help, like a psychologist. Don't be shy. We need someone to take care of us too. Take care of yourself next year as well. ^^
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #12:
Look for new knowledge, specially things that are not part of your world. A great way to expand your horizons, in my opinion, is learning a new language. Why not studying Portuguese or maybe Chinese? Inserting yourself in a new culture is a great way to understand the differences and respect them. It is also a good way to realize that the idea of reality that we have isn't the only one in the world. Learning the differences make us understand ourselves and the others better. Let's try to expand the limits of our perception next year. ^^
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #13:
Don't maximize your suffering. If you are sad, don't act like you are sad. I'm not telling you to pretend to be happy. Just act normal, like you usually do. Don't do your best to show how terrible you feel to the others. The pain is already too strong for us to increase it. It's human to feel sad, even to lose hope for some time. But showing your miserable condition to the others is humilliating and you don't deserve it. Suffer, cry, be sad, but show your emotions to those who you trust, like your friends, family or psychologist. Respect yourself and act cool in 2013. ^^
Beau Gilliam's Suggestions for 2013 #14:
My last tip for your New Year's eve night is to spend it with those who have helped you living through this year of 2012.
For me, it was a year full of hard working and maturing. I think I've matured myself for the a whole life. But there is still a lot to learn and we learn these things by trying the best we can to make things happen. Of course, bad endings happens and things I hoped for this year didn't come true. But it's like this, isn't it? Trying the best you can even though things don't work out in the end? What matters is the courage we find inside ourselves and the strength to make things happen. Not all people have this strength, but I know that you do. =) I'm very sure to say that I did my best in 2013. If you did your best this year, you were brave. If you haven't yet, you have 2013 to make a difference in your life.
Say good-bye to this year of 2012 and rub the Blue Dog's tummy. =3
See you in 2013.
- Beau Gilliam, the Blue Dog.
P.S.: It's not the end yet. There is still time. Time to make things happen! ^^
E muitas artes em 2013! ;3
Hahah I guess I will have to give the blue pup a belly rub :p
Make a habit of thinking about others every day.
Make a habit of showing gratitude and appreciation, even to strangers
Get into the habit of making others feel important and special, not just yourself.
If at first you don’t succeed, don’t be surprised.
Take care!
