Be Part of Someone Else's Big Moment

When you're part of someone else's happy moment, it automatically makes you happy. It's a beautiful thing--the way that joy and happiness can be contagious.

The big moment for Daniel and Karla!

My friend Jonathan and I with the newly engaged!

Don't sweat the small stuff

So this was on Kristina's desk today (the office manager I'm temping for) so I picked it up and started reading and now I'm hooked.

Some of the finer lessons I've picked up so far:

- Imagine that everyone is englightened except you
- Become more patient
- Create "patient practice periods"

Just remember
1.) Don't sweat the small stuff 2.) It's all small stuff

Stay tuned for more...

Be careful

Case and point why some people should not join Twitter (and I'm sure Crissa would agree).

To summarize, Washington Redskin rookie Robert Henson tweeted Sunday evening, calling fans "dim wits" and asked how people who "work 9 to 5 at Mcdonalds" could know what's best for the team.

Monday he apologized to the media and today he quit Twitter. And the best part of all of this is that Henson has yet to play in a professional football game.

Oh, the egos that go into professional sports!!!

Be funny

Whether or not you're an Obama lover or hater there's a few things you gotta love about him as a person. 1. He went on freakin David Letterman 2. He doesn't like Kanye West 3. He's the first not-white president.

Oh yeah. BTW. Quote of the Day by Obama himself: "I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election."

So he likes socialism, at least he has a sense of humor.

Life is better with chocolate ice cream

Eating ice cream when you feel sad really isn't just a cliche because it actually does make you feel better.

Define Yourself

This is the first post of a new era. I've had a recent problem with my life cause I didn't feel like it was an adventure and part of it I keep waiting for the adventure to find me when really I need to find the adventure. I need to do things to seize the day! I need to do things to change it up. I can't just wait for my moment...sometimes you have to create the moment for yourself.

Right now, this is what I have to do. I have to take my life and transform it to something that satisfies where I'm at right now. Life isn't about waiting for great things to come to you. Life isn't about waiting for happiness to come. Life is about living. It's more than dreaming, it's making dreams a reality.

I keep thinking that life will come to me when I'm at the right place and I'm doing the right things. But right now life isn't going to come to me. It's not going to just fall into my lap. I have to chase after it.

You have to define yourself. You have to define who you want to be and who you will be and how that looks in your life and what that means for your life. This is my journey to self-definition. My adventure to self-identity.
