Appreciate Your Progress

Most young adults put a lot of unnecessary pressure on themselves to live up to a fantasy. Whether it is self imposed, societal, or parental, the pressure is on. Fortunately, the reality is what you already know for sure; life comes with hills and valleys. Life is work, and everyone is a work in progress. That said, feel free to chase your dreams, love who you love, and create great memories with your friends and family. Let go of the fantasy, and live your life to the best of your ability. As long as you are making you happy, that is what matters most. Dance to the beat of your own drum. People will always have something to say. There will always be someone who thinks they could live your life better than you do. The key is to live a life loving what you do, creating joy as you would have it, and living it at your best according to (your first and last name goes here). Let "them" dwell on how far you have to go. You should only focus on where you are headed, acknowledge how far you have come, and embrace wherever you are in your journey right now. Change your perspective in regards to measuring up and lose the measuring cup altogether. Some days may bring trouble, and while you definitely do not want to welcome it, do not run from it either. Every obstacle in life is actually an opportunity to reveal to you how brave, strong, smart, or resilient you really are. Acknowledge all the things that are good in your life, what you have that you love, and get in the business of living a life entirely focused on your joy; whatever that means for you. In all of your efforts do the best you can; give it all you got, learn from your mistakes, and with every opportunity do better. While you are doing all of that, remember to be kind to yourself. It is okay to aim for perfection, but personal excellence is good too. As long as every move you make is given your best effort, take the pressure off, and remember that greatness takes time. Live your life as best you can, and do not forget to appreciate your own progress.

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...
