Happy Steps

Try to make it a great day every time you get the chance. Start your steps to happiness with this understanding; the first reason to be happy is in your face as soon as you open your eyes every morning. You have another opportunity to live your life better than you did yesterday. From the very beginning of your day, as soon as you roll out of bed and start your morning routine, put a smile on your face first. Think about the goals you will accomplish today and go get 'em. That seems easy enough, but understandably, some days are harder than others. Challenges will come without a doubt and sustaining your happiness may become a challenge in itself. Well, under those circumstances, Oprah says she asks herself 'if you died today would the thing (current issue, problem, hiccup, or obstacle) still bother you'? That is a great way to tone down the magnitude life's challenges when they arise. In addition to that, when your happy is dwindling, redirect your thoughts. Put on some good mood music, light your favorite scented candles, take a hot bath, phone a friend ;), but most importantly, remind yourself that all trials are temporary. Something great is on its way no matter what your current circumstance may be. Keep your head up, your hopes high, energy and thoughts positive, and push forward. Spend less time dwelling on the challenges, and more time appreciating all of the things that bring you joy and cost you nothing. That is the easiest way to positively redirect your inner chatter or put a positive spin on your perspective regarding an outer challenge. Lastly, Know that your life will always be blessed with what you can handle. What you can handle is not about stuff but what you get out of all of your experiences- good, bad, and the I hope there are no pictures of this that can be used as evidence against me at a later date. Through it all, no matter what the experience is before you, you can positively endure it, learn from it, and grow into your best self. Pace yourself, smile through it all, and become the happiest you, you can be.

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...

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...
