What Have I Been Up To?
There are a lot of changes happening in 2012. It is the year of the Water Dragon after all. According to the Chinese, this is the year of prosperity and good fortune. Is this the time for change?
Many would argue yes and I couldn’t agree more. If we’re to survive the coming decades, we have to change. That’s what I’m been doing, changing my thought processes and a daily basis.
This is a good thing though, my thoughts are changing for the better me, a more positive me. Right now, I feel like I could take on the world. Which I plan on doing here this year.
Right now, I’m posting on Facebook as I write this and it’s going rather quickly, often like a chat would in a chat room. On top of that, I’ve got “One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful” on Youtube repeat. Yes, Youtube has a repeat.
This song that is playing right now seems to be giving me a lot of energy. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a catchy song and has a good beat. That catchy tune allows me to move around a bit. You know what I mean. haven’t you ever tried to dance in your chair while you were typing a blog post? No??? Maybe it’s just me then.
What else have I been doing? A lot of Social Media. I’ve been Networking and increasing my contacts. Empire Avenue is a great way to do just that. Social Media is where it’s at. So many good things have came out of Social Media. Justin Bieber got big because of Social Media. People have traveled the world because of Social Media. People have become successful Entrepreneurs because of it. Authors are finding it easier to make sales because of Social Media.
I’ve also been planning a project. A few people already know about it. My biggest dream is to travel the world and see different places. I’m going to be capturing the moments. Filming what I can and making documentaries, uploading pictures and special moments, etc.
I’ve made it a goal to read at least one book a week. I’m a bit of a slow reader and to increase my reading speed would be a plus. I can do that if I read more often. Most of my reading is done on Blogs or Social Media sites nowadays. So, it’s nice to get away from the PC and pick up a Book. Yes, I’m “Old Fashion.” Ever heard the saying, “The old becomes the new.” That will be books in the next 10 years or so.
I’m still planning my novel and I’m working on a Short Story. I find that by working on multiple projects, it allows you to be more productive. At least it feels more productive. If you can’t work on one story, you can work on the other. No excuses right? If you’re wondering what the Short Story is about, it’s going to be sort of Super Hero based. Keep an eye out for that.
When you’re an Entrepreneur/Author, live takes a new path. It’s not difficult though to integrate that new path in your already existing life. You have to stay positive and look on the bright side of things and not let others bring you down to your level. 2012 is the year to soar. I plan on soaring high. Just like Justin Bieber and J. K. Rowling climbing to the top, it’s my time to soar. I’m not looking back either.
To our success.
One Love
One Love
A good love is certainly hard to find.
Most however, are really blind.
Only time will tell they say.
Yet some never enter the fray.
Just another story in the book.
Yet, we can’t help but look.
That one to be there for us.
So we don’t have to make a fuss.
A million fish in the sea.
Just one is all I need to see.

The Meaning Of Life
What is the meaning of life? Have you ever pondered that question before? I’m sure you as well as many others has.
While I don’t know everything, I can share what I believe is the meaning of life. Now, this may not be the meaning of life for everyone, but can suffice for some. If you have a different opinion on the meaning of life, I welcome your comments below.
The true meaning of life can be summed up by one thing…….Growth. It’s the one thing we’ve done sense we were conceived at birth. We start off as an Embryo and grow into a Fetus, etc, etc. Drawing from this perspective it’s easy to see how one might draw a conclusion that we have only one purpose and that’s to grow.
But humans stop growing when they reach maturity right? Not exactly. See, people may physically stop growing, but what about their brains? What about our mental capabilities?
Sure, some people seem to never grow up and always look like the childish adult who doesn’t know when to be serious. I’m sure you know at least one person like that.
Some people end up going to college and become Philosophers, Astronomers, Physicist, Scientist, Doctors, and even Historians. Others choose to take the other route and let their creativity flow, these people become our artist: Painters, Musicians, Sculptures, Engineers, and Fashion Designers.
What does this do for us? It gives room for growth. It allows our minds to open and expand inward. Without growth, we wouldn’t be who we are today. Without growth, mankind would not be what it has become today.
Through growth, we can strive to be a better person. Through growth, we can make changes, starting from within. Through growth, inspiration lives.
Many people are without jobs right now, myself included, but that’s not keeping me from trying to learn and grow. That’s not stopping me from building my dream. That’s not stopping me from creating my own reality.
Go for the gold. Grow, Learn, Inspire.
Do It For You
I was having a chat with someone recently about doing things in life and changing it up. It was brought to my attention that they were making excuses for themselves. What excuse? They didn’t want to get fit or healthy because they didn’t think their husband deserved it.
I know what you’re thinking. Really? Yes, really. All too often we make excuses that we’re not even aware of. Sometimes we’re aware of them, but most of the time we’ve told ourselves that often enough, that we’re not aware of them.
Why is this an issue? Why wouldn’t it be? We’re on this planet for one thing and one thing only. Ok, maybe a few things. For example: we’re here to be healthy, learn and grow, and experience all that we can. So, why is it that we’re holding ourselves back?
I think that a large part if it is negativity. Negativity is what holds us back. Even if we have plans, (big plans) we’ll could still have some negative thought holding us back. As Randy Gage puts it, you have to get rid of the negative thoughts and replace them with good thoughts. Only when the Positive outweighs the negative, can we then move forward.
Randy Gage on Youtube. Highly recommended.
One thing we have to realize, is that we’re hear for ourselves. No one else. We don’t have to please anyone. If we want to be healthy, it should be for our own reasons. To live longer, live happier, regardless if someone deserves it or not. We deserve it for ourselves.
Before you go bashing yourself with negativity, remember this, “It’s for me, no one else.” What are some other excuses that you’ve caught yourself giving? What are some tips that people can use to become positive thinkers?
