C'mon Get Happy!

We often find ourselves stressed out over all the things we don't have, haven't done, or aren't being. No matter what they may be, there is no hiding from the anxiety caused by the unknown. If you don't make enough money, have not gone back to school, are not fulfilling your life long dream of being an actress, or maybe you planned to be married or be a mother by now, but you haven't met 'the one' yet- are you panicking yet? Before you burst into tears, know this, none of those things are based on time. Thankfully, most things we want to do, be, or have are not time-sensitive. The sooner we recognize that, the better ready and focused we can be on fulfilling our every desire.

Make a conscious effort to focus less on your what you have not achieved or how long it may take, or will take to satisfy your desire. We have to learn to stop feeding our anxieties and disappointments. It takes up too much energy, more energy than it takes to plan the course of action needed to get what we want. The time you spend feeding your losses and disappointments could be better used investing in doing the things necessary to get where, what, or who you want or want to be. Focus on prioritizing your day around your goal. Actively invest your time and energy into it every day verses concentrating on the difficulties and obstacles you are or will face to achieve it. You get out what you put in so if you're busy putting in doubt, fear, or any kind of negative energy you will get just that, doubtful, fearful, and negative.

Set a goal, make a plan, and put the plan into action, but most importantly, take the time to appreciate what you do have right now. Focus less on how far you have to go, and more on how far you have come. Start every day with a smile on your face and gratitude in your heart. Acknowledge that life is perfectly imperfect and even so, you are blessed and grateful. You may not have your dream job yet, but you're working. You may not have the man of your dreams, but know he's out there and being alone is better than being in an unhealthy relationship with the wrong one. You may not have a platform like Oprah, sing like Mariah, or a shape like Halle, but by-golly you know what you have are blessings, big and small, and you will consciously and actively show your appreciation for those things and will not take them for granted. Be appreciative and happy with the many ways your life has been blessed in addition to seeking more, and continue to make strides towards accomplishing your goals.

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

I know how difficult it is to be on the hunt for a job. You have to practically sleep with the boss-to-be just to get an interview in this economy. Well, if you have more integrity than showing a little boob to your potential employer, here are a few tips to help you stand out from the rest of the pack. So you're in the trenches of job-hunters and your phone just won't ring. How do you get noticed amongst the hundreds of other applicants? Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...

Life is too short for 10 rules so here's 5. Good Luck, and Happy Dating! 1. Know what you want, and mean it.

You get the picture. Choose wisely. There's nothing wrong with being selective as long as you remain realistic. 2. Have a conversation. No texting or emailing, but a real verbal interaction. You can tell a lot about a person’s personality and your compatibility just in their tone, their laughter, attentiveness, and the flow. After two conversations you should definitely know if you want to see this person or not. 3. If you list them, they will come… seriously, the list is critical. It forces you to really determine what you ar...
