			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ever seen a dog chasing its own tail?</strong></p>
<p>Ever wonder why a dog would do that?  Above all, ever wonder how a dog as EVER going to catch its own tail, and also HOW LONG it would take for the dog to realize this?</p>
<p><strong>Who are you to wonder&#8230;you do the same thing!</strong></p>
<p>You surely have done the same thing in your life, pursues something that is futile and as I talked about in my last post, you&#8217;re <strong><a title="Chasing After The Wind" href="http://www.famous-sayings.net/chasing-after-the-wind-is-futile/" target="_blank">chasing after the wind</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Yet you too are doing what a dog is doing when a dog chases after its own tail.  So why do you chase after your own tail?</p>
<p>You do so because as obvious as it is to others, you just don&#8217;t realize you&#8217;re doing it.  Yet if you took a moment and really gathered your thoughts, you&#8217;d realize it.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re like me, you hate it when you find out you&#8217;ve wasted your time and chased your own tail, and have gotten nowhere.  So what do you do?  Do what I do when it happens to me&#8230;like it did today&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>I hate waste and exercises in futility!</strong></p>
<p>I hate it when a day gets seemingly wasted&#8230;so here&#8217;s what I do&#8230;I quickly try to find a way so it has not become a waste rather than just accept it as a waste.</p>
<p>I have a very strong drive to not waste: time&#8230;money&#8230;energy..effort&#8230;none of that&#8230;you can&#8217;t take any of it for granted anymore.  Life is too short.  Time moves by too quickly.  Days become years it seems, the older you get.</p>
<p>So please learn the lesson I&#8217;ve learned by thinking carefully about these things&#8230;.and notice how I turned my seeming waste into at least a return on my time (see also my previous post).</p>
<p>I got stuff out of it I can blog about without needing any research&#8230;I just write about my life lessons learned&#8230;so I &#8220;redeemed my time&#8221;&#8230;and there is my next post!</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line- stop chasing your own tail!   Do this now:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Cut our losses and move on.  You&#8217;ll be so glad you did!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Realize when you&#8217;re chasing after the wind and stop</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Discard and eliminate all useless activity&#8230;stop chasing that tail!</li>
</ul>]]></content:encoded>
