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”. My mother recently asked me

Counting Your Blessings

One must never forget to count your blessings. I was reminded of this late last week as I was talking to my mother. There have been some, oh how shall we say it…trying times with my current roommate. Trying times may be a bit of an understatement. On the bright side, I came up with a pretty cool business idea

Self Manifestation, Negativity, and the Power Drain That Ensues

A couple weeks ago I got into a discussion with someone about self-fulfilling prophesies and the manifestation of our thoughts. We both agreed that we generally manifest what we want and believe. We did go back and forth a bit about manifesting what we truly want in life however. I argued the point that miserable people don’t want to be

Where is Positive Affirmation?

Is it me or is the act of positive affirmation a lost item? It seems when I look around all I hear and see is “no no no” and “you did this wrong” and “you suck at that”. At work, in relationships, all around I see a lot of that and not too much of “you’ve done well, good job”.

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

Surrounding Yourself With Good

I sit here now reflecting on the weekend that I just shared with some good friends and pondering the next couple months that will contain weekends that will be similar in nature…a gathering of close friends where we all do whatever we like, say whatever we want, and share our good company with no fears of being judged. One can
