Stag Parties

A stag party is another name for a bachelor party. This is where the groom to be has his last hoorah with his boys, to say farewell to the single life.

I want to look at stag parties not in their traditional sense, but in another sense.

At this party people are experiencing a different type of celebration. Some people planned to come to the party, some showed up and others just ended up their.

This party is a stagnation party. A stagnation party is where people gather together to shoot the breeze about mediocrity, procrastination and complaints. There are tempting strippers who are masters of distraction. They do things to keep your eyes on them and off the prize.

"Stagnation comes from floating in the status quo. Accepting what is, instead of searching for what could be." Jane Fraser Wizard of Ads Partner

I have been to a stagnation party before. Don’t ask me when or how I made it to the stag party? I just want you to know that the stag party goes on and on. It never stops. Believe me, the longer you stay mingling in that environment the harder it becomes to leave.

Have you ever been to one?

There are lawyers, doctors, public officials, accountants, actors, and entertainers who attend stag parties too.

You may have been to a stag party for writers before, or maybe it was a party for tired professionals who have given up on their dreams.

Whatever kind it is get out of there, you are not supposed to be their.

I had to leave the party. The other people at the party told me to "stay relax and enjoy yourself".

My dream said "it is time to leave and walk into your destiny".

The crowd said “a stag party is the best party”.
My dreams told me "ignore those people and walk in the greatness that shall lead to your divine destiny."

The crowd roared about the music, the strippers, and the ambiance of the stag party.
My dreams said “leave this place, for you are not here to party you are here to write your testament to the world.”

Guess what? My dreams won.

Don’t give up on your dreams. Get out of that stag party. We all end up at stag parties at sometime in our lives. However, don’t stay there. Get on your grind to make things happen for yourself and embrace excellence.

“It is common to find young men ardent and diligent in the pursuit of knowledge; but the progress of life very often produces laxity and indifference; and not only those who are at liberty to choose their business and amusements, but those likewise whose professions engage them in literary inquiries, pass the latter part of their time without improvement, and spend the day rather in any other entertainment than that which they might find among books."Johnson: Idler #94 (February 2, 1760)
