Well, a new week, so maybe you just sit on the couch to start your week with, or in your favourite garden spot, or wherever you have the time to read those stories.

These stories are my favourites and will hand them over to you, so you can read them too.

These stories are funny and worth reading!

29 Cut-to-the-Chase Lessons About Money You Can Use Right Away

“Money buys you family time. Family is what you really have. The family feels better than money. Your family would rather have you than have a lot of money. Go on, look at the evidence for yourself. Your family is desperate to see you even more. Make their little dream come true. They’ll say nice things at your funeral when you do.” — Tim Denning

10 Ridiculously Funny Things To Make You Laugh Right Now

“On the topic of Walmartians, I’ve lived under a rock for the last ten years. My 71-year-old Mom enlightened me on the Walmartian phenomenon. And when I inquired as to what this is — she took me to the local Walmart at 9:30 PM on a Saturday night. And wow, my eyes opened. Did you know that people stroll around in flannel, even with exposed diapers?” — Lisa Bradburn

Stop Chasing People Who Don’t Value You

“It’s true, you know — the mess on your laptop, in your kitchen, bedroom, or garden shed is a good indicator of the condition of your inner life. Sometimes we need to declutter our emotional life too. I recently did some decluttering in my relationships.” — Orla Kenny

Why You Should Invest in Emotional Writing

“The reason why you want to try emotional writing is that you may help people. There are those out there that have gone through the experiences that you have gone through. People have bad relationships, a poor job environment, suffer from depression, are battling diseases, and so on.” — Brian Lamacraft

Top 7 Skills To Future Proof Your Career

I Used to Think I Could Fly

“where I would fly all around feeling the breeze in my hair and could smell the scents of a pretty tranquil air” — Claire Kelly

Letting Go Of Your Perfectionism Can Help You Move Forward in Life

“Your life seems to revolve around an endless series of never-ending tasks that often result in disappointment in the work you do, the image you present to the world, the relationships you have with others, or the life you lead.” — Alex Ghaznawi

The Illusion of the “Free” and “Objective” Press

“As journalists are already engaging in subjective reporting while deciding what story is worthy of air time and what is not. The way events are viewed depends greatly upon your positionality, the dominant political and social beliefs of the time, therefore total objectivity is simply impossible.” — Tarik Ata

Social Media Isn’t The Problem — You Are.

“Once you’re aware of this, the downsides of consumer technology won’t affect you that much. On the contrary, you’ll be using modern tools like social media to your advantage.” — Rob Stux
