Success's 3 Keys

Sometimes it is very hard to find inspiration, motivation, or drive. It is not nearly as hard to find an excuse as to why something will not work out in your best interest, favor, or for your own good. We all are torn with decisions everyday; what to do now, what we should have done already, and what we will do tomorrow. There is nothing more frustrating than defeat, failure, and disappointment except regret. While we can be our own worst enemy and the very ones standing in our own way, we can also decide to do better.Whether it is with your job, relationship, or self-improvement, conquering goals is much harder when we lack the key tools to achieving them. The first key is commitment. Once you commit to something and put it on your priority list; you will get to it. When something becomes a priority it earns your undivided attention and dedication. You will give it your time repeatedly. There is always something else you could be doing with your time, but you will choose to make your goal a priority. It seems we never actually have enough time to do everything we would like to do thus, a plan and organized timing is the best way to get the best results. You will decide to make a conscious investment of your focus and energy to work toward your success. Every day you succeed at the first two keys is a success in its own right. Some days will be harder than others, for sure. You can not always account for every interruption, distraction, or diversion that may pop up in your day, but you can at the very least plan to work on the objectives on your list every day. The third and final key is persistence. Some things may not come easily. Some things will definitely take a combination of your time, commitment, and persistence before you can even see a flicker of progress, but dare yourself to try again. Convince yourself that you are worth the time your goal requires and that you deserve it. Remind yourself that every time you check it off of your priority list, you are that much closer to your accomplishment.

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...
