Zig Ziglar - Having a balanced life09/28/2011 How do you deal with your stress each day? Do you react negatively or respond positively to stress? What activities help you to alleviate stress? Do you do enough of these activities? Enjoy your day and have a minimal stressed day everyone! What we do each day directly and indirectly affects our environment, food, wildlife and sustainability. Next time you might stress out about your situation...take a step back and think of how others around the world are affect or who are less fortunate because lack of shelter, clothing, food. They might have been through a natural disaster. You have to commute or drive to work? People and kids half way around the world would need to walk for miles. Going to throw out half that sandwich or meal? That my friend could feed an entire family. Throwing away your old clothes because you are too lazy to give it away? People on Hastings street could use your clothes or how about kids around the world would smile just to see an article of clothing they can use. So next time you are stressed out "Think Globally - Act Locally"  ~I took this picture underneath the Granville st. bridge. All these geese may look the same but they are all doing their "own" thing~ "Conformity - the natural instinct to passively yield to that vague something recognized as authority" ---Mark Twain--- This is not to say that you should be rebellious and fight authoritative powers. It is more like we should not be afraid, ashamed or embarrassed of our unique gifts and talents. The most successful people in the world are unique and talented. That is exactly what sets them apart. Instead, embrace your talents and mold your gifts in such ways so that the world can appreciate and value you. Be bold, be different, be unique! Mumford and Sons - "Awake My Soul"09/17/2011 What makes you happy? Do it What brings a smile to your face? Do it What brings joy to your heart? Do it Awake your soul Cherish all your friendships Enjoy each laughter Be thankful you are healthy Be grateful you are alive Awake your soul Appreciate all of nature’s beauty Exquisite sunrises and sunsets Breathe in the refreshing ocean breeze Walk, hike, run along all the scenic paths Awake your soul How fast can you get back up after you have fallen? Start your week with this speech in mind09/12/2011 The world is a big place. There are events and issues going on everyday. Which event, which issue "matters" to you? Pick an issue for this week, month or year and try to improve it a bit for yourself and everyone else. Deception: How are you lying to yourself?09/10/2011 How was your week? Was it great, ok, or pretty crappy? Did you lie to yourself by making work "seem" fun and productive even when it was not? How was your workout at the gym this week? Did you "actually" workout or did you waste your time on the cellphone or chat while working out? Did you have an intimate dinner with family and friends? Or did you take calls and text on your phone while having dinner? So many situations during the week for us to "tell ourselves" that we were really productive, active and engaging but instead it was far from it. Do what you do.....and "mean" it. The odds are stacked against you. There is no chance for you to make it. No one believes you can do it. Are you going to just give up? Are you willing to listen to the negative people? or Are you going to BEAT IT!?!!! Whate ignites your Spark?09/05/2011 What ignites your Spark: to Smile? to Enjoy life? to Appreciate?
