The Timing of It All

I fully understand how everything is a pressing matter, of high priority, and totally necessary, but I am certain we all could carve out more time for joy. Come on, we are working with twenty-four hours. That said, we spend the better half of it stressed, hurt, over-worked, and exhausted. That is a lot of time to be busy doing the many things you must do that do nothing for your life and simply add little to no joy to it. Let us budget our time better and put ourselves and our happiness back on our to-do list. With no consideration of anyone else, what will make you happy? How can you feel better, lighter, brighter and more relaxed? What would you do to remove the weight on your shoulders?  While we must accept that life is meant to be lived, the good, bad, the ugly and everything in between and it is yours to do what you will; add to your current purpose your own joy. Whenever possible choose the path that leads you to joy. Live well, strive to live better every day, regret nothing, and ultimately live under a singular purpose-umbrella for your own joy. Many fear they will not live up to expectations that someone else has set. Many of us are riddle with fear and uncertainty because of it. We spend more time running around chasing other people's dreams, goals, and expectations for us than we do chasing our own. Ask yourself what do you want, really? Seriously begin focusing your energy on figuring out what actions you need to take to uplift your life to a place that will make you happy and do that. For better or worse your life is the sum of your decisions. Do not allow the opinions of others decide your fate, when they do not have to live with the consequences. Make the conscious decision to spend more of your precious time of your life in experiences that generate joy and the growth of your happiness. Anything less, is barely worth it.

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. When you don’t know what you want, you just might begin trying any and every option that comes your way. That is a waste of time and a road map to Dramatown, Crazytown, or Beatdown-town. 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...
