Get rid of that freeloading friend
This is the type of person who is always leeching on you.
If you are going out, they expect you to pay. Or whenever they call, they are asking you for a favour. The phone call usually goes like this: 'Hi, how is everything? That's good, I was wondering, could you ... ?'
Whatever the case, it's never good to have someone like this around. What will happen when you're in need? Bets are on they're nowhere to be found.
Give God thanks
Yes, everything might not be the way you want it, but be thankful. Stop being so meticulous about everything - perhaps you didn't reach your destination on time, but at least you reached alive.
Just appreciate the so-called 'little' blessings that God tosses your way.
Invest in something worthwhile
If you have been working for over a year and have only an iPod to show, something is wrong with your priorities. Invest in household assets - a fridge or a stove. As long as you are living, you will always have need for these things. To take it a step further, you can try saving towards a computer. Every job will eventually require one.
The Manley Memoirs - A love that knew no bounds
"Early in my marriage to Michael, the person I became was the woman I thought he wanted me to be. I fooled myself that I was fiercely independent, when, in fact, I was constantly operating under his umbrella. Later, I would seek to be what the left wing of the party wanted me to be."
Beverley Anderson-Manley unveils the history of her marriage to a PM in The Manley Memoirs, her new book, published by Ian Randle Publishers. On Sunday, May 4, The Gleaner will commence a serialised version of The Manley Memoirs. Don't miss the series!
