Bill Taylor's Comments on Kathryn Sandford's "15 Things Everyone Should Stop Doing For A Better Life"

I was reading Kathryn Sandford’s article, “15 Things Everyone Should Stop Doing For A Better Life”, when it struck me it was all in the negative.  I doubt if the author has thought about the impact negative thinking has on us. I once heard that Mother Teresa would not attend “Ban the Bomb” rallies because they were framed in the negative. It is much better to work off a list of 15 “DO’s” than 15 “DON’Ts”.  Individually there are many good topics here for consideration.  I like the first one: “Simplify”. Ever notice that most people's problems can be solved by the average 12 year old?    What prevents change are the emotions and many obstacles we create to make it complicated.  The legendary Green Bay Packers' coach, Vince Lombardi,  had a simple but great motto for life: “Keep your life simple and stick close to the virtues.” I have found that when you keep it simple it is easier to understand and to make decisions.   Bill Taylor
