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.

Chin Up Buddy!

It’s November now. We’re heading into the craziness of the holiday season. For most of us it’s already a time of stress and nuttiness.

How We Impact Each Other’s Lives

Whether we know it or not, we all impact the lives of those around us. Obviously we have an impact on those that are close to us but in many cases we also impact the lives of those that we simply come in contact with. I was reminded of this in two different occasions within the past week or so.

Simple Joys in Hectic Times

It’s been a crazy week for me. I’m sure it’s been a crazy week for everyone given everything that is going on in the world. I’ve had to do some traveling in my time off as well as working some horrendous hours. Somewhere in there was a birthday I had to celebrate with friends and family. It was tough finding

Keeping Up With Friends and Family

Those of you that know me and those of you that have read enough of my ramblings should know by now the importance I place on building solid relationships. I take pride to this day in the relationships that I’ve built with friends and family. To me, building a solid relationship is much more than simply having someone to call

Set Goals To Make Today’s Craziness Bearable

I know…I know…it’s been far too long since I last wrote something deep and inspirational. Do I have a good reason? I of course like to think I do…but don’t we all think we have good reasons for doing things? The truth of it all is I’ve simply been worn out with the new gig I’m doing and it leaves

More on Being Grateful for What You Have

Ya know…we can all sit here and complain about troubles at work, cranky roommates, bad traffic…whatever it may be. But again, sometimes it’s the little things that can put the biggest smile on your face if you just take a break for a minute and think “oh yeah…I DO have a lot going for me”.
