Be The Master Of Your Own Life

Masters weekend is here. For us compulsive sports gamblers, this was usually a time we would sit back with our feet up on our recliners, place that bet for winners or top 5. Maybe catch a snooze and drink plenty of alcoholic beverages.But did we really know who was playing? Or was the sight of a +6500 just really alluring to us? Did we just want in on some action just because? 


Instead of watching the Masters and gambling on it this weekend, do this instead: 


Go for a walk 

Talk the dogs out for a walk

Exercise

Meditate

Write in a journal

Go for a hike 

Read a book

Take a class on Coursera

Take a Masterclass

Spend quality time with SO’s 

Spend quality time with family 

Take the family out for a walk

Play video games 

Watch movies 

Put up a bird feeder and watch birds 


The point of this blog: there is a life outside of wasting our hard-earned money on something pointless that will only bring us more misery. Time to get serious about living our lives the way it should be lived and not behind a phone screen watching odds on a sporting event go up or down or watching some online video gaming machine try to get 5 in a row. Take back your life today, stay abstinent and let's all live better lives. Stay grinding, stop gambling. Life gets better. One day at a time.
