For Your Joy

It is easy to be elated when something goes your way, but can you be genuinely happy for someone else's success? It is so important to be happy for others and share in their joy as well.While it may be easy and maybe even your initial thought to compare yourself, the practice should be to share in their joy. Life is a journey, not a race. It does not matter how quickly you succeed, but only that you do so in your own time, full of passion, and driven by your purpose. On the way to where you want to go you will come across other successful people. Make sure you remind yourself, that is meant for you is already yours. Having an appreciation for the blessings of others makes you more open to joy and happier in general verses the instances solely based on your own accomplishments. Embrace the blessings bestowed on others with the same enthusiasm you would have for yourself. Appreciate the fact that this is their time and be happy for them.There are plenty of blessings to go around. Even if you feel that the circumstances in your life are not moving in your favor at the moment, be so happy for others that it overflows into your own life. Your happiness for someone else should come from the same place your sympathy does. When you are truly concerned for someone, have true compassion for them in a situation, or empathize with their trial, that emotion is in its most raw and truest form and reflects the connection between you. Do not block your own blessing by drooling over someone else's. Your blessings will come in the time that is most perfect for you and your life. The best thing you can do for yourself is know that whatever is meant for you is for you in its perfect time. As long as you are diligent and do the work necessary to create the best circumstance for your blessing to enter your life, it will. That said, when someone in your circle has a great moment, embrace it, share in their joy as you would your own, and know that with your continued effort, your life will be greatly blessed as well.

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...

It forces you to really determine what you ar...
