Oh yes it's true. Reality. We all know the answers and regardless that inner voice is screaming we like to test out what we plan on the mass opinions. You don't care what other people think? Fine. Unfortunately to make it anywhere, unless your pockets are so deep you never have to worry, others opinions can determine what is in store for your future. Happiness. Yes we all know the fairy-tale answer to it, and no, it's not really difficult, BUT not everyone wants to invest time, much less energy into life lately. This past week. I had an opportunity, to really get things going on the projects that matter to me the most. I had everything in order, I networked my tail off, and busted every single minute of my free time investing that this would be a big production. Unfortunately for me, the leader of this particular event had things fall through. Yes I'm blessed to be surrounded by understanding people, but this messed with my credibility. I want to say that if you want ...

What does it take? Really what do you want? I know that we all deal with so many issues, and as a reminder I have always said one persons severity doesn't take away from what might be an even bigger deal to someone else. To understand that you have to have compassion. What are your intentions? Look...I have learned. Be open. Suck it all in while you can, cause quicker than a blink, sneeze, snap it can all be gone. Love someone for who they are and like a song states that I'm just absorbing now "Si tienes quien te quiera, quierelo tu mas!" Huh....why are we all so busy looking for something when the other is beating down the door. What is the correct decision when you think the boundaries have been pushed beyond what you ever imagined? Let's be real. To be happy you need to be yourself. How well in the work force aim for moving up, surround your self by those you see on the same path, be respectful, listen, be daring, but don't let it all out. In life, don...

Let me start out by saying maybe it is because you find out who you are (You have no constant buffers to deter you from that) who your friends are....maybe because you realize who is one your side. I don't mean who will listen to your whining over and over, and all the stuff you need to settle in your life but who will be there to pick you up when times are so tough, ANYONE would know that a reach out hand would do wonders. I mean really what is it? Is it pride. Do we all have to be so tough? I know SOME people are crappy, SOME take advantage, SOME will even mislead the hell out of you...but does it really mean we have to be tough on those that are full of love to give, good intentions? A desire to live life to the fullest, laugh out loud and do what you must in the mean time while we get our dreams in order. Sadly I'm going to say yes. Regardless I refuse to be one of those....Don't get me wrong. "Let me clear my throat"....yah sing along... I will love, laugh, ...

How do we keep our chins up when all the energy in the world keeps saying no? I get asked that question every day, and I guess people don't realize for every "no" there is a " Y E S" . Everyday I'm the background person pushing, and dreaming that maybe those doors that are only cracked will open up all the way. Most of us have reached that point in our lives where we know we are not scared to put the work into something, but unfortunately it is difficult to find the people that will notice and compensate you. We live in a society where those that are putting the work,effort, and are ethical are paying the price for those that just get by with no intentions of ever putting in effort unless they are in jeopardy. The first way to change is to take control of the things in your power. Yourself, your attitude (phew that one gets tested), the people around you. I read the best article the other night. It was about willpower. You say you need to make a change bu...
