We like to do what makes us comfortable. We feel safer that way. You may ask “Why do something out of the ordinary if it’s going to put me in an awkward situation?”. Instead you should ask yourself, “Why not?”.  When taking that chance and stepping out of that comfort zone, you will be amazed at what you can find. (more…)

Sometimes we may feel that our actions do not make a difference or contribute anything. We shouldn’t feel that way at all. The simplest action will cause a ripple effect and touch someone else’s life in some way. Everything in this world is interconnected. Science suggests that something as trivial as the beating of a butterfly’s wings in the Amazon can influence the formation of a tornado in Texas. (more…)

Have you ever been hurt, emotionally? We all have at some point in our lives. Maybe we didn’t necessarily do anything wrong, but there is nothing you can do when you’re hurting. That’s how you feel and you cannot change that. We often think that time is a healer. We tend to “sleep off” things when they bother us. Sometimes we wake up with a new day and a new agenda and other times we wake up with the same problem.

The bottom line is time doesn’t change anything. The work we do while the time passes is what makes the change. If you know you’ll feel better about something a few months down the road, what can you do today to make that feeling become immediate?

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

Teamwork is an important part of life. My team consists of my family, my girlfriend, my friends and my colleagues. Each person on my team has an important role and without them, I would not be where I am today. When life seems to be bothering me or if things just are not going so well, I can count on them to be there to lift up my spirits. If I’m happy, they are there to celebrate with me. (more…)

You can do anything if you set your mind to it. Have you heard that before? Well, it’s true.

Setting your mind to something starts with self-discipline and self-motivation. Without that, you have no fuel to energize yourself to meet the goals you set. Without any action there will be no reaction. I know, Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (more…)

My loving and beautiful Mother sent me an e-mail today with the subject of “This will bring happy tears to your eyes”. After reading it I was definitely choked up. My throat closed a bit and I started tearing up… only for it to be interrupted by the idea of me posting it here for you all to enjoy. (more…)

Most of us like to be able to handle things on our own. As we grow up we depend on our parents to take care of us until it is time to “leave the nest”. As we grow older and mature, we do our best to take matters into our own hands. However, not everything we want can be handled by us alone. We ask for help. (more…)
