W.O.W. Live Your Life

Sincere — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:19:10 +0000

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”
Kahlil Gibran

Grab A Broom

Sometimes it’s hard to just let go of certain things or people but it is necessary. Holding on to that baggage is not good for your health or mental well being. Just let it go. If people don’t like it then let them go as well. No one needs that negativity in their life.

People must be able to accept you for who you are and not for what you are. You should never feel that you need to change who you are just to please someone else that in reality probably doesn’t even like you all that well. Just be yourself.

This its not a free pass to just become an asshole to people under the guise of “just being you” but it should allow you a bit of freedom to do things the way that you would like without fear of ridicule.

I may be wrong but I think people are too caught up in what others think of them. As long as you can live with the decisions that you’ve made then so can I. If your decision does not affect me then why should I care what it is? Does that sound selfish? If so then it just has to be that way.

We worry too much about was others around us are doing and not enough about what it is that we are doing and in some cases not doing. Its time that we sweep around our own front door before we try to sweep around someone else’s. The change must first come from within. We must change ourselves before we can even think about changing someone else.

W.O.W. Happiness Is Essential

Sincere — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 04:40:42 +0000

“Happiness is unrepentant pleasure”. – Socrates

Happiness to me is sometimes all that matters. Our own happiness should be first propriety. Its great try and make the other people around us happy but it should never come at the expense of own sense of happiness. Happyness is a direct link to sanity. Don’t let the actions of someone else influence your happiness and well being. You are the captain of your own ship so don’t let just anyone come along and rock your boat.

W.O.W Just Be Present

W.O.W. If You’re Not First You’re Last

Sincere — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:17:21 +0000

Winning is not everything but the will to win is.

I think that at times we put too much emphasis on finishing first. It’s great to finish first , yes. It’s better to know that no matter where you finish, first last or in between, that you did your best and gave it your all. There is less emphasis on doing the best that you can and too much emphasis on the outcome. I am one of those that believes that by giving your all and trying your hardest you are already a winner.

This is not The ballad of Ricky Bobby. People seem to truly live by the mantra “If you’re not first you’re last”. While it makes for a great line in a comedy it does not make good sense in reality. everyone can’t be first, someone has to come in last. You can all be winners if you give it your all and try your best.

W.O.W. Fever Pitch

Sincere — Sat, 22 May 2010 23:10:19 +0000

I’m sitting here at Urgent Care with Brooklyn because Boogie is sick. Since my battery is about to die I’ll make this short and sweet. Life doesn’t always go according to our own plans. When life throws you a curve, simply stand at that plate, keep your eyes on the ball and knock it out of the park.

W.O.W. Run Or Get Run Over

Sincere — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:08:19 +0000

I was watching 60 minutes on Sunday, like I do every Sunday, and Andy Rooney was doing his usual commentary. I usually tune him out but this time I actually took an interest and listened for some reason. He was saying how out of touch he is with today’s music. He didn’t know any of the top people on the Billboard charts. Not really surprising, I mean the man’s like 1,000 years old!
This moment, plus I just read ‘Death of A Salesman’ the other day, had me thinking. If you don’t change or keep up with what’s going on then you’ll be left behind and lost. Andy Rooney and the character Willy Loman both seem to be stuck in their own world. As if time has stood still just for them. They have lost their sense of reality. They often refer to how things used to be or shun new and improved ways of doing things.
You must either run or get ran over. Change is inevitable. Its going to happen whether you want it to or not. All a person can do is either accept or reject it. Change can be hard to accept but sometimes it is necessary. You can either change along with it or remain the same and fear being left behind or lost.

National Day of Prayer

Sincere — Thu, 06 May 2010 15:09:24 +0000

Today is National day of Prayer. Repeat this simple yet effective prayer: “Thank you Lord for this day and the many blessings that have come my way. Without you Lord, I am nothing but through your grace I am something. Amen”.
Have a blessed day.

W.O.W. Do You

Do not concern yourself with the thoughts and actions of others. You control your own destiny.

W.O.W. Confucius Say…

Sincere — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:38:36 +0000

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
