Why do people feel the need to knock you down when you are doing well in life. Sharing your lifes dreams and goals is suppose to be a good things. Being able to open up to someone you feel a connection with is suppose to be a good things, yet when you do these people walk all over your thoughts, goals, and ideas, like your not good enough to have those thoughts and there never going to happen, so you should just sellte for less...
Screw you if you do that! I believe in my heart, the weak minded person is there to put you down because either him or her are jealous, jealous of what you have when they dont, jealous you may make your dreams come true and it will out do theirs, or just plain jealous because they are to afraid to try it themselves.
I love it when people knock my ideas, it gives me even more modivation to succeed. It makes me want to try even harder to out do myself. I believe firmly in the laws of attraction. Our body gives off more energy in a day than we use in our home for a day. Thats a scientific fact! If we have that much energy in us and release that much, we do have the power to release it as we please and to do with it as we please. Bottom line, if you continually tell yourself its possible to conquer a dream than you will! If you have doubts and say I want this dream of mine to come true, I want to be a business owner, or a musician, or to finish college, or whatever your dream may be, but everyone tells me I cant do it, and I am not sure I can either, you WONT make it happen!!!
Power preiceved is power achieved! If you can dream it, you CAN do it!
Have a blessed Sunday morning!

Patience, It's More Than A Virtue
So, lately I have noticed these grand ideas popping into my head. I am in the middle of so much right now, and definatly have my hands full allready, but still can't stop or shake these ideas.
Personal ideas, business ideas, ideas for my group at church, ideas for books, ideas for vacation... And so on!
I try to take on the world, and when I do this nothing happens. Kind of remids me of that movie, "The Love Guru". In the movie he says, "I want to take you from no where to Now Here". I love that! Through time and hard work I know all my dreams will come true. I know if I work hard enough, stay focused, and pray about it, it will happen!
I need to learn patience. I need to realize everything I want isn't going to come over night. Dedication, hard work, and faith get you the things in life you want.
I think in a way we all do this... Hurry through life, try to do everything we can as fast as we can, hoping everything works out in the end, because I have that owe well type of attitude.
Why are we this way and why do we allways want things done in a rush?
Lets learn to take things slow. One day at a time, one task at a time. If we dont learn how to do this we will stumble over everything we are trying to do at once, and things will cancel eachother out!
Today I will do my best to go slow! One thing at a time!!!

An Outdoor Experience!
Well, the week is ending and so is my patience... It's been a long week... But a good one at the same time. It's times like these we forget how fragile life is, and how important the small things are, and how much we owe the man upstairs. I find myself battling improper thoughts and losing modivation when I am stressed. And so today I push myself to do something different.
This evening I will be driving to the mountains and staying in a cabin. Now this is not your typical cabin. There is no heat, no electricity, no running water, and no bathrooms. Therefore there will be no phone, no tv, no ipod, and no social interaction. I tell you what there will be though. Roads no one has traveled on. Fresh water you can drink from a stream, endless amounts of beautiful trees and plant life no one has touched or tarnished.
Deer and Elk that walk right by you, and the smell of fresh air. This my friends is God's country! I need to soak this in, and I imagine you do as well. This experience will open my eyes to what lifes really about. Show me that my stress, anxiety, and over working myself, is not worth it. Instead it will show me how we where intended to live.
Take a break from lifes troubles! Find tranquility in nature!
Let it open your eyes, and free your mind, let it speak to you!
See for yourself what God has made for us to enjoy!

Having A Bad Day? Ask Yourself A Stupid Question!
A dear friend wrote me last night. We haven't talked in a while, so the last few emails have consisted on us mainly catching up on life. Last night one of the email's from him consisted of many random questions about me and my life, and how I was doing. After asking several questions he ended the email with some questions that where obviously jokes, like, why is the sky blue? And, why is water wet?
I laughed at that as most would, but took it to the next level as most wouldn't. I realized yesterday was a stressful day for me. I had a lot going on, with work, life, my son, ect... The whole day was full of small stress, hurry there and hurry here. After reading the email and seeing those questions, I laughed, and was free'd from the days troubles.
Sometimes all we need is a small distraction. Not a distraction that leaves our troubles or stresses in the back of our mind never to be delt with again, but a distraction that leaves us in thought, with a smile on our face.
The next time you are having a bad day, and things are getting to you, STOP! Take a deap breath and ask yourself a stupid question... You never know it could change your day!
By the way... Why is the sky blue? And why is water wet??
Here are my answers!
Well Just look at the definition of what "Wet" is- I used websters- wet = "consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid" By definition water is wet because it consists of and contains liquid. l if you think about it, water really isn't wet....
This is why the sky is blue!!The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. Owe and the guy Rayleigh I am refering to, his name is actually Lord John Rayleigh who was an english physicist. One of the first to study the sky's colors in the 1870's!!!
Have a good day!!

"First We Try, Then We Trust"
I have had two people write me today asking questions about the work place. The contents of both messages stated the same thing. Both people are having issues in their personal life, they want help, they want to talk to co workers and their bosses but they are afraid of what people will think of them....
This world has taught us that weakness is a bad thing. And I have news for you, it's not! Being week around another person show's trust, something that many people these days don't value. I have always been a firm believer in, "first we trust then we try", meaning open your hearts, expose your weaknesse's and trust someone! If it back fires, owe well, atleast you tried. honestly though you will find in most cases people will suprise you with a "i'm here to help reaction", instead of the ever so common response we intend to get, "I have my own problems, leave me alone!"
Do not be afraid of your feelings, or to share them. You are who you are and you should be proud of that! Not talking about issues that need to be discussed is only going to make them worse in the end! Trust me I know! Move forward, never stay in the same place, and never move into the past, well atleast not to permenatly stay there!
Good Luck!

Today is the first entry for this blog. I invite you, all my friends and family to take this journey with me! Learn about me, my life, my thoughts, my views, and share with me, yours!
Let me start this off by asking a question. Do you ever have dreams and goals your afraid to tell anyone about. The dream you have may sound simple to you, but not to your family, friends, husband, or wife. I have found over the years, I have kept my dreams and thoughts to myself. Always being afraid of judgement, or fear I will be made fun of. It has made me wonder what would have happened if I where open from the get go? Where would I be now, and what would I be doing?
Friends, do not be ashamed of who you are, do not let others tell you whats best for you, instead, spread your wings and fly. I would much rather be a man who gave everything for his dream and lost it all, than a man who was afraid to try.
Today let us open up to someone close with something thats been on our mind. Let's try it and see what happens, honesty is always the best policy, and today I challenge myself to be more open!
