Just Hanging Out

Hang out with your friends.

Every now and then you need a break to light up your your life. Sometimes you can get that light burning on your own, but at other times it’s best to have friends around to hang out with. Suddenly you may find yourself lit back up.

Stand Tall

You can stand tall.

You can’t control the forces around you, forces like the wind, and many times those forces will try to knock you down. Keep your feet on the ground and stand tall, being who you want to be.

Your New Year’s Resolution

Don't Work too Much

There was a recent thread on Twitter by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson of Basecamp concerning a 40 hour work week. The gist is simply that working more than 40 hours a week, whether for a startup or an established business, is both unnecessary and not productive for living.

If you make only one New Year’s resolution this year, resolve not to die working at your desk. Get out there and live!

End The Year With…

End the Year With a Smile

As 2019 comes to a close, it probably had its share of ups and downs for your life. Don’t focus on the downs, focus on the ups.

And in case you wondered about the rest of this balloon, my nephew hung this for me when I was staying in his room while I was visiting them a few years ago.

End the year with a smile!

Thanks for stopping by! Keep being awesome and inspired!

Level Ground

Level Ground

At The Vatican in Rome, Italy, you can walk up to the top of the dome. Most of the way it’s just a lot of stairs, but there is a point where the dome slopes. You have to walk down the path. It’s like walking in a funhouse, and your senses get all twisted, but the path is level and if you keep going you end up at your destination – the top.
