Appreciate What You Already Have

Hello and happy Saturday to my loyal (and new) readers. Today I’ll be waxing poetically about the joys of appreciating what you already have. Too often we all sit around thinking “I wish I had a new car. I wish I had that computer. I wish I could go on a trip. I wish…” instead of thinking “I’m quite grateful

Why I Like Climbing Magazine

Hola loyal readers, it is time once again for me wax poetically about things that make me happy. Today is a simple mix of a material thing such as a magazine but also the work that goes into it. As some of you know, I too have been affected by this rough economy and I was laid off about a

Never Give Up Hope

Hello again loyal readers of Wax Porhetoric (has anyone else ever enjoyed the play on words here or have I just been in a happy little world since I thought it up?). Today’s topic…Never give up hope. Why? Well why not? If you give up hope even momentarily you might as well just throw in the towel with life in

Times Are Rough But We Need to Keep Pursuing Our Passions

We’re hearing about layoffs left and right and it’s scary. No need to fret though…we should shake it off and continue to pursue our passions. Funny…I just posted a similar article to Chia Town. That one was of course more business oriented but the message remains the same…don’t get down in the dumps because of this economy. Instead, use this

Putting It Out There

Hello my loyal (and new) readers. It’s time once again to revisit the lessons that The Secret has to teach. I apologize for taking so long to write since my last post, but life has certainly been busy…and I’m happy to say it’s all been good stuff that’s been keeping me busy. I’ll try not to go so long between

Starting 2009 on a Positive Note

It’s 2009 now just in case you’ve all been sleeping for the past couple weeks. I pondered writing something right around the New Year but why let my message get lost in the jumble of a bazillion people rambling on about New Year’s resolutions (half of which are probably already broken by now)? Nahhhh…I decided to wait it out a

Stress, Smiles, and Life

Hello my fellow travelers through life, I once again apologize for the long time since my last post. I’ve been crazy swamped with work. Who knew a guy without a full-time job could be so busy? I guess it has something to do with creating another start-up AND working on another grand venture. Life is good as long as we

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

Keep Your Eye On The Prize and Reach Those Goals

I know, I know. You’re stuck in a job that is driving you nuts. Underpaid, overworked, working a horrible shift, who knows what it is. You know you’re worth more than what you’re in right now. More than likely, you ARE worth more than your current situation (of course there are those delusional people that think they should be making

Look For The Positive Things In Life

Readers of Wax Porhetoric know I’ve got a fairly positive spin on life. Life is so much better when you look at all the good things you have going for you rather than the bad things that may put a damper on your day. I’ll be honest though…I’ve got my rough days and my rough periods in life. However, I
