Just Hang On

Just Hang On

You might be in a situation where it looks like there is a quick escape, but the quick may be fraught with peril. Maybe just hang on a little longer until you can see the better way out.

Let Others Hold You Up

Let Others Hold You Up

We all have days when we are weak, when we can’t reach the heights we want to get to by ourselves. That’s okay, sometimes it’s okay to let others hold you up.

The Sun is Still Up There!

The Sun is Still Up There

When I started learning meditation one of the lessons was that you will always have a “cloudy” day. Basically this means not every day is great, sometimes they will suck. To get through them, however, remember the sun is always up there. It might take a few days, but the clouds will part and there will be the sun again!

You’re a Rockstar!

You're a rockstar!

On a walk one day, there it was, in chalk, a reminder. Sure, the reminder wasn’t meant for me, it appears it was meant for some folks doing a run, or training for a run. I didn’t care, I looked at it and said, “Yea, I am a rockstar!”

Always Look

Always look at the toilet paper roll before you sit down.

Sure, I understand if you are in a public restroom and toilet paper may not be readily available, but if you are somewhere that the toilet paper is someplace simple, like under a sink, be awesome and don’t leave the toilet paper roll empty.

Your Time is Precious

Your time is precious.

There is only one thing in this life that is finite, and that is our time alive. Every now and then others will try to take a bit of that time, and this is especially true in the holiday season. Remember that your time is precious. Sometimes it is better to adopt the attitude of Derek Sivers, “Either ‘Hell Yeah!’ or ‘no.'”

Say “Hello”

Say "Hello" to a stranger today.

It’s easy to stay in your own world, but stretch yourself and say “Hello” to a stranger. They might ignore you, and that’s okay, but you also might connect to a new person in this world. Isn’t connection sometimes what is important in this world?

Ponder Life. In Red Booties.

Go ahead and take a few minutes to ponder life.

In the winter we have to put booties on our dog, Milo, to protect his feet. Red booties or not, Milo still likes to ponder life every now and then.

Go ahead and take a minute or two and ponder life. If it helps buy some red booties. It seems to help Milo.

Thanks for stopping by! Keep being awesome and inspired!

Please Dispose Your Dental Floss Picks Properly

Please dispose of your dental floss picks in the garbage.

I don’t know why I can spot them anywhere, and it’s really gross, but I see dental floss picks a lot. Look, I appreciate good oral hygiene, but be better than the other person and actually throw your dental floss pick in the garbage instead of on the ground.

Thanks for stopping by! Keep being awesome and inspired!
