Recently I’ve been getting somewhat tired of all the people on Facebook claiming to be ‘Kings’, and ‘Lions’. You know the ones, generally they write it in CAPITALS.

I have subscribed to this wholeheartedly now for years; get the mindset right and the rest takes care of itself I’ve always believed.

Recently I’ve been dealing with someone who just won’t commit to a decision. At last I said to them, “time to shit or get off the pot.”
