A new way to look at things...
For the past few weeks I've been taking things personally. I let the criticisms and negativity that I get dominate me. Why the hell for?
I've been on this kick to make my mark this year. Maybe it was the passing of a friend or maybe it was a reflection of my life and it's accomplishments that gave me this wild hair... but I was determined to start with my local Bear Club.
As a member, I've seen the stuff that makes us a good club, but I wanted us to be known for what we do. Hence the beer busts, the calendar and even the cafepress.com stuff. So far I THINK I'm doing good things. Others have a different opinion (some more negative than others). I decided to separate the slams and slanders by realizing that their issue is with me as V.P., not as a person. I know, not much a relief but hey, it worked for me. I was reading a post on the forums that kinda pissed me off and my chest started to hurt. That's it! I thought. No more drama and no more self doubt. Then "poof" my chest pain went away! cool!
Now I have a new outlook. If no one likes what I'm doing? Then they need to give me a better way of doing it, if not... They can pick a finger.
