The Green-Eyed Monster

In this life you will come across some people who are so buried under their own misery, they will see you and want to knock you down a peg just because life is not going their way. For whatever reason, the pendulum has not swung in their direction, and they may feel as if you have some kind of unfair advantage. If you are the smartest person in the room, the funniest, the most confident, the prettiest whatever you have greater than, more of, or better than they do; they will hate you for it. A complete stranger could be hating on you from afar putting negative, bitter, hateful arrows aimed in your direction, and you do not even know it. I could see you wondering how this could be the case among people that do not even know you, but the truth is they do not have to know you personally to be bitter. People make assumptions based on their interpretation of the impression they believe you have demonstrated. Try as they might, because they will even try to label it something else to make themselves feel better, there is one word for it- jealousy.
It is a disease that many people of this particular generation are plagued by. All of that said, here is the key, know you better than anyone else could assume they do. Know your own heart in all of its kindness, care, sensitivity, generosity, and love. Welcome only the people that give off the kind of energy you would like to share. Only engage with people of purely positive, uplifting, and encouraging spirit, and those that share a like-minded purpose and drive as you do. Let the haters hate. Use their words as motivation to keep striving to be the best version of yourself. Pray that with all of their uninvited observation of you, they will learn something that will help them better themselves, and realize that their lens is out of focus and their attention should be turned on themselves. In the meantime, be the beautiful person you are and keep your eye on the ball. Know that no one can define you unless you let them.

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...
