Two Dogs

There is a story they tell of two dogs. Both at separate times walk into the same room. One comes out wagging his tail while the other comes our growling.  A woman watching this goes into the room to see what could possibly make one dog so happy and the other so mad. To her surprise she finds a room filled with mirrors. The happy dog found a thousand happy dogs looking back at him while the angry dog saw only angry dogs growling back at him. What you see in the world around you is a reflection of who you are.

Resolution for the Soul

Change of Address

In 2014 I will no longer be living on the corner of DEPRESSION & DOUBT. Rent is too high, the space is too little and there's no room for my dreams to grow.

My new place is located over on DESTINY & BELIEF. If you need me, this is where i'll be. All mail sent to the old address will be returned to sender!

Thanks, The Management

Letter to Myself

To: My Fears

From: Me

5 Lessons in Life From Dr. Seuss

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than you. 

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

You have brains in your head. You have feei in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be rememberd.

If Only Everyone Thought This Way

Be Impeccable With Your Words: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the 'Word' to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your 'Word' in the direction of truth and love.

Don't Take Anything Personally:  Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Don't Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Love Languages

This is a quick reference as of all the love languages.

Personally I believe that at different time we need different love languages but that our primary one stays the same.

Right now in my life I would say mine rate like this.
1. Physical Touch
2. Words of Affirmation
3. Acts of Service
4. Quality Time
5. Receiving Gifts

Physical touch is always the most important to me and receiving gifts while is nice is not a priority for me. Words of affirmation, acts of service and quality time change in their ratings from day to day.


When I think of my family, they are very diverse. I could be wrong but these are my thoughts:

Steve - Physical Touch
Melissa - Receiving Gifts
Kyle - Words of Affirmations
Alex - Words of Affirmations
Skyler - Receiving Gifts

What Thomas Jefferson Meant

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." ~ Thomas Jefferson Back in Jefferson's day the conman usage for the word "pursue" was not "to chase after." In 1776, to pursue something meant to practice that activity, to do it regularly, to make it a habit. What a difference a definition makes! Thomas Jefferson one of our wise Founding Fathers, meant that we all had the right to practice happiness, not to chase after it. So let's stop pursuing happiness and start practicing it. After all practice makes perfect.
