I LOVE these Malibu ads as they really communicate the 'There are NO big deals' mindset VERY clearly. This one is about trying to get into a club.
Our lives REALLY DO depend on us really learning not to take things too seriously. If you value your life or your sanity I suggest you learn how to practice 'Easy Does It' in ALL your affairs. It is VERY important!
People sometimes overlook the slogans, but they are a VITAL part of the programme.
For my Sponsees. Ongoing posts to explain my personal interpretation, and preferred method, of recovering from Alcoholism, using the Basic Text of Alcoholics Anonymous as a template. Based on 20yrs sober life experience. I just add bits when I remember something. NOBODY, including myself, speaks for AA as a whole. Take what you like and leave the rest. Live and Let Live. The Principles of Unity and Tolerance of other people's views and opinions are FAR more important than ANY personality in AA
Seriously funny, I like the Doctor Ad too. and We always have Rule 62# to lighten us up.
ReplyDeleteI've never worn a hair shirt but I've flogged myself a few times. I agree that life is too short to be taken seriously
ReplyDeleteI got a dose of this when I went to Chicago in March. Mitch's friends were soooooo funny, goofy and how I laughed so much. To me they did not take themselves seriously, shedding humor onto self and everything. I want to be like that, I still am wrapped so TIGHT. I want to breath and allow self to become unraveled. I know it will happen, not on my timeline however (I would have this completed by yesterday if so).
ReplyDeleteSo easy does do it! One day at a time.
