Death By “Breaking News”
Today I just want to talk about one of the things that has been a big drain on my Vibe for many years. Don’t really know if you have gone through or are going through the same thing but for some reason I have been strongly compelled to make a post concerning this matter. Technology is a wonderful tool and the advancement of technology has … Continue reading Death By “Breaking News”

The “In Spite Of’s” Make All the Difference
As I’ve embarked on the task of trying to do the things that really matter there are certain things that begin to become more and more clear every single day. One of them being, there is no “magic” when it comes to accomplishing goals. Although the right state of mind is essential to finding sustainable growth, state of mind is internal and it in no … Continue reading The “In Spite Of’s” Make All the Difference

Productivity Tools That Work: A different kind of “Panda”
When it comes to establishing a more disciplined, organized schedule there’s a host of tools that claim to be the end all be all in getting you to where you want to be. I haven’t tried them all but I have definitely tried quite a few. Every now and then I come across something that actually works for me. The Panda Planner is one of … Continue reading Productivity Tools That Work: A different kind of “Panda”

Pine Nuts and Coasters
Life is so Great! and the thing is when you live it consciously it becomes even more evident. I have mentioned The Success Principles in one of my “Gotta Reads” Blog post earlier this year and I have recently started reading it again. One thing I am doing this time is making sure to follow through with every exercise. There’s a statement that is mentioned … Continue reading Pine Nuts and Coasters

Unforced Frugality
I remember when Kelly and I first decided we wanted to take our first leap together. We decided we wanted to find an Apartment in an area with a good school system for the Kids and fully commit to living our lives together. I was living at home with Mom and Dad and Kelly was living with her Mom and we were just kind of … Continue reading Unforced Frugality

Long Nights
There’s a part of trying to start a business that’s not so pretty. There’s these moments when you’re pumped and ready to take on the world and then there are times when you’re tired and ready to go to sleep. As I progress, although not as fast as I would like, I am finding there are rises and plateaus and rises and drops and more … Continue reading Long Nights

“My Why”…
While doing some yard work this past weekend I began to hear that joyous laughter that children seem to find so easily. Moments later I start to see these huge bubbles pass through the portion of the yard I was working in. I walked to the front of the house and found the girls having some simple, “good ole” fun. That was one those moments … Continue reading “My Why”…

Asking and Giving
There are two things that I’m getting better at, and they are making a huge difference in my progress. You know, in my quest to build my first profitable business everyday seems to bring some new understanding whether it be practical knowledge or some tidbit of wisdom. I would just like to take a brief moment to point out two things that have stood out … Continue reading Asking and Giving

The Principle of Exchange
“Wherever he steps, whatever he touches, whatever he leaves, even unconsciously, will serve as a silent witness against him. Not only his fingerprints or his footprints, but his hair, the fibers from his clothes, the glass he breaks, the tool mark he leaves, the paint he scratches, the blood or semen he deposits or collects. All of these and more, bear mute witness against him. … Continue reading The Principle of Exchange

Smiles Are Like Trophies
This is a post about us allowing ourselves to be comfortable with our happiness. This is something I have been dealing with a lot lately. Many of us have our past. That past is full of many joys and great memories but that’s not all. For some there’s also this burden of bad choices, mistakes, disappointments, lost relationships and all kinds of other stuff that … Continue reading Smiles Are Like Trophies

Circumstance Free
The previous weekend was great and I leaped some hurdles that have previously gotten the best of me. I’ve been working out regularly since before the new year and have really been wanting to add running regularly to the mix. As the weekend approached I chalked out Saturday morning as the time I would get started with my pursuit to run more. Saturday came and … Continue reading Circumstance Free

Coming Into Focus
I know it’s been a while but believe me, it doesn’t mean things aren’t going. As we all know life keeps on going in spite of and we had better do the same. I write this post with a sense of enthusiasm and excitement that has me feeling borderline crazy! This year has been one of the best I’ve had in a while. There’s a … Continue reading Coming Into Focus

The Balancing Act
I begin this post late late into Wednesday evening after spending a great deal of time working on a computer and using various kinds of other technology so there is a great deal of irony in everything that follows. The world has changed so much since I was a child. It’s hard to imagine that things can be as different as they are. I mean … Continue reading The Balancing Act

The Best Week Ever
On Sundays I tend to take the time to think and plan the week ahead and for some time now I have been approaching the upcoming week with the thought and belief that, “This is going to be The Best Week Ever”! I have realized that subconsciously and many times right in the front of my mind I am hoping for some kind of supernatural … Continue reading The Best Week Ever

Building Momentum
Wow! The last month or so has been different. I’ve learned and accomplished some exciting new things and I’ve had my fair share of growing pains as well. What I am loving most though, is the fact that things are changing. Although there aren’t a lot of physical differences my life is changing and I feel it in both my mind and my heart and … Continue reading Building Momentum
