Life Lesson from a Cartoonist
Whatever it is that YOU do – do it every day and challenge yourself.
That’s the advice of cartoonist Phil McAndrew.
He wrote: “You don’t grow by staying within your comfort zone. You’ll be a stinky stagnant little pool of moldy potential with little insects buzzing around and having desperate sexy times and laying eggs all over the damn place. You need to get your creative juices flowing like a big majestic waterfall!”
His eight other tips, which can be applied to every facet of life, are worth a read.

“ …they are no longer content to live with the focus of their lives being on their world – themselves, their problems, their family, their career. Their eyes have been opened to new realities. They have seen how the suffering world lives, and it is not real. They cannot ignore the suffering or pretend it doesn’t exist. They are compelled to do something about it.

“ God’s definition of success is really one of significance – the significant difference our lives can make in the lives of others. This significance doesn’t show up in win-loss records, long resumes, or the trophies gathering dust on our mantels. It’s found in the hearts and lives of those we’ve come across who are in some way better because of the way we lived.

Life-Changing Definition: Rustout
There’s a silent killer that stalks America. It’s call “rustout” and it’s far more deadly and scary than burnout. Sure, burnout can wear down your body, but rustout can wipe out your soul and your spirit.
“Rustout is the slow death that follows when we stop making the choices that keep life alive. It’s the feeling of numbness that comes from always taking the safe way, never accepting new challenges, continually surrendering to the day-to-day routine. Rustout means we are no longer growing, but at best, are simply maintaining. It implies that we have traded the sensation of life for the security of a paycheck…Rustout is the opposite of burnout. Burnout is overdoing. Rustout is underbeing.”
– Richard Leider & Steve Buchoz, The Rustout Syndrome

Remember, then, the four laws of happiness and success.
• Count your blessings.
• Proclaim your rarity.
• Go another mile.
• Use wisely your power of choice.
And one more, to fulfill the other four.
Do all things with love … love for yourself, love for all others, and love for me.
