Following Your Passions Is Not Always Easy

Happy 2011 fellow passion followers, life livers, life lovers. It’s occurred to me that many posts are about following your passions and living life to the fullest. I do realize however that it’s not always the easiest path to take. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but I understand that when I’m saying “go follow your passions”, some people may

What Do You Really Want?

What do you really want? Seriously…don’t just say “I want happiness” or “I want to be successful”. Those are pretty vague statements and really won’t get you very far. To get what you want, you need to define what you want. When you go to the grocery store, sure, you need food but you usually have some specific items in

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.

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

“The Alchemist” vs. “The Secret”

As I wander through this grand thing called life, sniffing flowers here, avoiding cars there, I can’t help but think back to things that have had me thinking about how I live my life.

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

Having High Expectations

I was talking to a friend last night and she asked “Do you think I have high expectations?” It wasn’t a tough question…I replied “yes”. However, I noticed the tone in which she asked me this. She asked as if it was a bad thing to have high expectations and almost sounded a bit disappointed when I said she did.

Dreams, Goals, and Survival

First, let me apologize for my long absense. A bit over a month ago I was told the project I was working on (the one that actually pays the bills) was coming to an end. This sent me into a tizzy and I’ve been scrambling to find a new gig so that I may continue to pay those pesky bills
