NEXT

What’s in a name? Names are extremely important especially if it’s regarding your business. It then becomes your Brand.

So why is it some comedy clubs name the place, Funny Bones or LOL’s and so on. I neva got that! I mean think about it, are you gonna call your friends laughing on the phone going, OMG lets go to Funny Bones, hahahahhahaa  OK?

What if all clubs named them for what they are?

Like “ One Night Stand” or “BANG” or STD’s. Would ya go?

Names can also create an inference in our minds about things. We find ourselves acting differently because we have set it up that way based on what ya head branded it as.

I remember back in my dating days I had this wooden box and I used a magic maker and wrote across the top of the box, “NEXT!”

Any time I was dating I would take the cards or letters or what eva they gave me and put it in this box called, next.

Every time I broke up with someone I then went to the garbage opened the NEXT box and emptied it.

When the next one came along all there shit went back into the Next box.

I suppose this was not a very optimistic approach to have because in my mind they were all NEXT!

I think sometime we are the wooden box! We lock all of our fears, baggage and insecurities in it and assume that it will protect us if we just remain closed.

One day after giving up on the notion of ever meaning anyone that could be “THE ONE”, I took the next box and tossed it in the garbage.

Then the work began~ my motto was ~ “If you continue to do the same things everyday expecting different results, Slap yourself now!”

If you think you are gonna change someone, forget it~ It aint happening.

So after I did all this self-discovery I was really kinda cool with it all.

I was content with just hangin out with me rather than settling.

Then for a birthday a friend of mine gave me a new box. This one was cardboard with Moons and Stars on it. No room to label it.

I month after I got that box, I found the Love of my Life.

So get rid of all the old garbage and open yourself and your heart and BOOM – no more Next. And neva go to a comedy club called LOL..
