Unplugging life support

# Chapter 124

“Love? Hardly. If you were on a life support machine, I’d unplug it to charge my phone.” Geissinger

These kinds of statements make me laugh because I actually knew people like this. People I would have unplugged a life support machine on and charged my phone instead . . . or it felt that way 20 plus years ago. Of course back then we did not have phones to plug in, but I digress. And just for the record, there were lots more that would have unplugged MY life support machine, than I theirs.

The only reason I am laughing is because I DON’T have those kinds of people in my life any longer. I avoid them like the dysentery and Ebola virus. I do everything within my power to prevent these types of people inroads into any sphere of my life. I block them, I ignore them, I avoid them, I simply don’t allow them into my world. My phone doesn’t currently need to be charged, and that is good because I no longer have a glut of these people in my world.

Now it is possible to focus on something world-changing, instead of grinding my teeth all night at the drama these folks create. Somehow, it is always about them. Don’t want to ever live that way ever again. I sat with a millionaire last night and generally I avoid these types too. But this guy is special. He is changing the world in so many great ways and it is totally not about him. He is focused on living a life that demands all he has to give. He is not allowing any slackers into his world.
