Attitude

When you choose to be pleasant and positive in the way you treat others, you have also chosen, in most cases, how you are going to be treated others. ~ Zig Ziglar Have you ever felt like everyone was simply being “mean” to you for no reason? Like the whole world was “out to get” you for one reason or another? That out of all the people on the planet, you were destined to be a hate magnet?   I think we all feel like that from time to time, but honestly, if you fell like that on a constant basis, maybe it’s time to check your ‘tude, dude. Attitude has everything to do with...

With Arms Wide Open

“Pour your whole heart into everything you do.  Even if you “fail” in an attempt, you do so knowing that you gave everything that was in your power to give.” ~ A.S. I am a firm believer in finishing what you start.  I believe that not only should you finish what you start, but I also believe you should throw your whole heart into everything you do and do it to the best of your ability.  What I like to call “Passion” others might refer to as “OCD”.  Ultimately, I want to feel good about the fact that no matter what I involve myself in, from relationships to business...

When You Smile

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ~ Abraham Lincoln If you asked one hundred different people, “What would make YOU happy?”, I literally guarantee you’d get about one hundred different answers.  Some people would talk about money, some people would talk about “things”, and still others would maybe mention things like career, health, and relationships.  Most people would mention a varied combination of those things.  But I wonder how many people would say that they are truly content? I know that I mentioned social networking websites yesterday, but...

Chasing Utopia

You gotta feel it before you can heal it! ~ Angie Swafford  Most of the time, we are in a rush to have things “just right”.  We want the perfect job, the perfect mate, the perfect home, the perfect car, the perfect children, the perfect life.  Yet those things aren’t just simply handed to us, are they? We have to work – and work hard- to “accomplish” anything in life.  We jump from one thing to another, whether it be jobs, friends, partners, churches, etc., in search of Utopia, and yet Utopia always seems to elude us.  Why?  Because we don’t...
