11/19/07 "Thankful"

Everyday, all day, be thankful.

Some people like to 'give thanks' during the November month of Thanksgiving. We should all remember to be thankful each day we wake up with a reasonable portion of health and strength. Live each day that you have to the utmost, and live your life while appreciating and being thankful for others in your life. Never take your life for granted...that even goes for others' lives as well. If we value one another, giving thanks will be easier with each passing day. It takes time to really appreciate all in your life. Take some time to reflect...but not while eating sweet potato pie. Save time for reflection, to give all the appreciation you and others deserve...everyday.

Life Lesson: All of your days are meant to be seized.

11/6/07 "Hard Work"

Hard work begets hard work....

That's one of the worst sayings ever. Even when you work hard, there is someone who doesn't work as hard, a supervisor that doesn't support your work, or employees that shut you out. But this is what you do...work smarter. Just when you think the world is against you and your back is against the wall, that is when things turn in your favor the most. When you work hard, you leave yourself open for someone to say that you aren't doing enough. When you work smarter, there is less room for others to make light of what you are trying to accomplish. So even if you don't get a vacation from the work world...make your own vacation in doing what you do best.

I'm focused, regardless...
