Why take time to blog? Well as a former journalist major and writer, I still enjoy putting my thoughts and ideas down. Having a blog is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas. Thanks for reading my bog. If you are considering blogging, commit to consistently blogging before you decide to start blogging. It truly is a big personal commitment, and it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others.
Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure that you watch around you and if you're with a group or with your family that you don't take your eyes off of your children. Keeping an eye out and keeping everyone safe is important and it's important to stick together and hold hands when crossing the street. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. When you live in middle North America and you're not used to snow, then when it snows you have the opportunity to learn about planning. Make sure you have everything you need to melt this now. It takes serius planning to have what you need during a snow or ice storm. And planning properly is the right thing to do and it models the way for others. 4 Love is patient,v love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.w 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,x it is not easily angered,y it keeps no record of wrongs.z 6 Love does not delight in evila but rejoices with the truth.b 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.c 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,d they will cease; where there are tongues,e they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) On Valentine's Day, make time and take time for those you love. Do something special. Tonight I took my wife to the restaurant that we had our first kiss outside of many years ago. It wasn't some fine dining establishment like we sometimes go to for Valentine's Day, but it was very memorable in how we began the journey of "us." My wife has a special way of making holidays, birthday and events super special and very memorable...I am so thankful for her. Show your love to those you love with more than gift, by your words, actions and by creating memories you will look back on as some of the best times of your life. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. Take time and make time to network in your hometown. If you only connect with your friends and work colleagues, you miss the opportunity to get to know others, their industries, and grow. So take time to reach out to new people and work to build new positive relationships. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. If you are in sales, role play perfection. It's the best way to practice your sales presentation or sales pitch. And it models the way for others. Only accept excellence. From yourself and others. It's how you get better, win, and be part of a winning team. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. If you don't tell the truth, more often than not, the truth will come out. And then what will you do? Just think if all you had was taken away and you just had your "name." Based on the decisions you make and have made, how well is your name represented? Take care to keep your name all that it should be and could be. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. What type of energy are you putting off? Is it positive? Good? Trusting? Negative? Anxious? Pressured? Pay attention to people you enjoy to be around, those you trust and those you like. Contrast that with those you don't enjoy being around, those you don't trust, and those you don't like. Why do you think that is? What do you think others think of you and why? What type of energy do you give off? Pay attention to the energy you give off. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. |
