Ei iata! Ce sa vezi?! It`s Friday. And Autumn came. And Joan Rivers died. Which makes me a little nostalgic because she also contributed to my long journey towards not giving a shit. Which is an important factor from The Business of being Ana Morodan.

 .

I am going to try to be more specific here and not start talking/writing for hours like we all know I do when I have a lot to say. And on the `not giving a shit` subject…oh well, it could be a lot to say about it because boy, it was a long journey getting here.

I crossed all the stages. I went from caring about everybody said about me or my actions, to caring about what just a number of people thought about me (this was also a bad strategy because they were people who were not even close to me), to caring only about what my fiance and friends thought about me, to then caring only about what my team thought about me and the list can go on, moving from my shrink to you guys, from thinking about what the people I admire think about me to what my assistant thinks about me and so on. And so on. And so on. For years and years.

Until one recent day, a year ago or so (yes, it took me a hell of a lot of time) when I realized that in all these equations I never for a second thought at what I thought about ME…Not for a single minute. Which I was soon to realize, in an almost tragical course of events, was the most reckless thing a human being can do.

 .

Because I am a being a pragmatic cynical, sure it took me a lot of nerves and concentration until I learned what self-caring actually means and sure I realized that not giving a shit on what everybody says about me can also be pretty unconstructive. It was an inner journey and battle sometimes, but in the end I realized that the Not Giving a Shit attitude is built from exactly giving a shit on what YOU think about yourself.

 .

As for the rest of the world and they thoughts about me, my actions and my lifestyle…it was a time when I cared. And that period remained in my personal history under the chapter In Loving Memory of when I Gave a Shit.

 .

And Goodbye Joan, you had your part of contribution to my freedom and you will be remembered. Her last words for her daughter Melissa are as funny and inspiring as she many times was. 

 

 

Do as Ana does and you'll be as confident as she is
