Making Changes In Life To Get Back On Track

So there I was…working a crap job. It started off ok, got worse, got worse yet, then worse still. Then the position got terrible and I was just one miserable puppy. I knew something had to be done. My family and friends noticed things just weren’t right (let alone me bemoaning the fact things just weren’t as grand as they

Giving Thanks

Hello to all my readers. It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. and many of us have the day off. This message goes out to all of my readers worldwide however. Let us all take a moment to give thanks to the good things we have in life. It’s easy to dwell on the not-so-swell things in life but let

Stay True To Yourself

As we go through life we’re inevitably forced to wear many masks. We have our home life, our work life, our active life, our mellow life…the options can be limitless. Sometimes we change our persona because we have to, sometimes we do it out of choice. However, as each day passes, as we live our life, we must remember to

The Value of Trust in Life

The value of trust in life cannot be overstated. What originally had me thinking about trust in business (resulting in a post on Chia Town) had me pondering how trust affects everything I do in life.

Some people attribute this to being “extreme”…especially if I do this while mountain biking or snowboarding and they watch me take the most momentous spill on the

The Power of Building REAL Relationships

The last couple weeks have been rather amazing both personally and professionally in terms of how relationships that I have built are really enriching life. I KNOW it’s an important thing and I take pride in the relationships that I’ve built but I will admit that I often forget that it’s not as commonplace as I assume and I tend

The Secret

So I just finished watching “The Secret”. Interesting…yet nothing that I didn’t already believe. I’ve always believed in the power of positive thought, of healing thoughts, of visualizing what you want. There were a few new views on this introduced to me such as the idea that we are being composed of energy, that the law of attraction works with

Valentine’s Day Thoughts

It’s Valentine’s Day (just in case you were in your own little world and didn’t realize that) and it’s interesting watching those around me, pondering my past and present, and taking it all in for what it is. I’m not sure if I’m in the minority or what, but I certainly find it an interesting time. I’m not a cynical
