Quirky

Its confession time – I'm quirky about certain things in life. Don't judge or laugh; so are you! We all have them, and some of them are downright funny. 

 The other night at dinner I learned one of my daughters is a bit quirky about her soup bowl. When she's eating soup, she doesn't want you to put your spoon in her bowl to share because it messes up the neat, clean sides of the bowl. I work with a quirky guy who every time we sit down for lunch it's like watching a three ring circus going on with his plate. He's such a girl.

 A quirk is a peculiarity of behavior, and the one that gets me has to do with the question I must answer every night. Talk about a girl … here it is: To wash or not to wash? I can hear all my bald buddies asking, "Wash what?” I'm talking about my hair. Do I wash my hair tonight? I mean, sometimes I get in the shower wondering, “Is tonight an on-night (wash hair night) or an off-night (don't wash hair night)?” Right? I told you it's quirky. Wow, that is weird. So why is it such an issue? 

 Are you ready for super weird? It comes down to my pillow. If I don't wash my hair before going to bed, then I'm going to transfer all the day’s stuff that got stuck up in my hair onto my fresh clean pillow as I sleep, and then when I roll over on my pillow, all that stuff will transfer itself to my face. And I don't want to get my face dirty, grimy or oily when I'm sleeping. You see, it's really not that quirky at all. It's common sense.

 Here's the reason I bring up all this today. In life, our success is determined by a lot of factors, but one such factor that is essential is a good attitude. You can be high strung, quirky and weird, talented and very smart, but without a good attitude you'll never really enjoy the success that life wants to reward you. It's like the old leadership adage that says, "Your attitude will determine your altitude in life."

 And since our attitude is an inside job, the work to keep our attitude fresh and positive takes place when we're alone and no one is watching. That's why it's so important to spend the time cleaning up our attitude through readying, meditating, and learning on a daily basis. So whether it's in the morning before you head out to work, or in the evening before you hit the sack, take a few minutes and bathe your mind to get your attitude adjusted. The last thing you want to happen is for the negative stuff that's going on in your head to dirty up your fresh, clean-looking face in life.

 Do you have some quirks? Are you bold enough to share them? We all need a good laugh, so take a minute and tell on yourself.
