The Facts of Life

You really must take the good with the bad. Life is never going to be a perfectly molded puzzle with each piece fitting exactly where and how you want it. Sometimes things will go awry, the road leads you to the left when you needed to take a right, and your attempts may not go as you planned, but as long as you keep trying, keep pushing forward and have faith and conviction in what it is you want, do what is necessary, and understand what you need, you will find yourself back in a good place. Every instance, situation, and circumstance is an opportunity for you to show growth and improvement. Do better next time, try harder, have a better plan, and be better prepared for pitfalls and stumbling blocks. As long as you keep trying, you give yourself another chance to succeed.

Life is full of hills and valleys. Recognize your moments on the hills as the wonderful moments they are and take it all in. Don't waste time up there worrying about the next valley. Give those moments the time they deserve. Be happy and be grateful for them, and when the valleys come, take them in stride. Embrace them for what they are- time to show yourself what you're really made of. Show your strength, affirm your faith, and keep moving forward knowing that with every valley you are on the upswing to something better. Do not get stuck, stranded, or stagnant. Do not lie down or quit. Pay attention. The valleys are there to teach you something about yourself you may not have known before, reaffirm what you already knew, or re-establish what you knew and lost along the way. Both hills and valleys are blessings to your life- embrace them both equally.

This is your life. If you don't like something in it; remove it. If you don't see the purpose someone is serving in it; remove them. If you don't like the way it's going; change direction. Life goes by too quickly to live with any regrets. You are the pilot of your jet. You are the author of your book. You are the conductor of your symphony so if you don't like how it sounds; change the music. Whatever you do, live with purpose, live with passion, and live your life well -your way.

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 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...
