“If the people in your life dont accept the things you do or how you are, how much money you get paid etc get new friends, they dont deserve you.”
Halloween is a very interesting holiday. It grants you the free ability to dress up like anything you wish and hit the streets fully in character. Anything from batman to a zombie you can express yourself and “be” whatever you like.
The interesting thing about disguises is it lets you comfortably be your true self without risk. It allows you to be yourself without giving away your face(identity). It lets you do things keeping your true reputation safe. You dont have to worry what others may think about you because they don’t know who is behind the mask. [click to continue…]

“In every relationship you learn something about yourself, When one thing dies another lives on, its valuable, remember that..”
A choice is made to stay or not to stay, to end things and be happy or to keep them going and carry out the routine due to fear. The questions storm your mind like a crowd of people at a football game, its hard to think clear with all the noise. “What will i do if i lose this person? Where will i go? What am I going to do now?”.
You’ve been with the person so long that you’ve adapted to their ways and you got comfortable with the way the everyday played out. You don’t even remember what you did when you were single. The relationship itself wasn’t perfect but through the hard times you found a bit of happiness, through the fights and struggle, you found joy in the moments between disconnection. You became grateful for the small things and got by, some how.
You get yourself together and remember, “How did I do this before?”, “How did I get over this last time?”. Thinking back you realize that you’ve been through this quite a bit in the past, you know that you can make it out but its just hard to let go. Through the smiling faces on the pictures to the memories in your head, you play them out over and over and ask yourself why? You begin to blame yourself, “Its my fault”, “I should have did this differently”… [click to continue…]

As men we become like a shell when it comes to sharing our emotions because we feel that it is some sort of weakness. To show weakness will make us appear as less of a man and not fulfilling the “manly man stereotype”. Most of the time this is because we feel that if we did let people know about us, we would feel too exposed and that will make us less of a guy.
I believe that not showing emotions and trying to be the generic tough guy about things makes you less of a man. Really it does! Your a human being, you experience pain just as any thing does, we cannot hide this inevitable fact. We have weaknesses and pretending we don’t is a weakness within itself. [click to continue…]

One of the best ways to figure out problems and provide a real solution is to think back on the origin of the problem. How did it start? What made you continue? Why are you still doing it? You see just by thinking back you can solve all those questions. You have to break the problem into smaller more manageable parts because taking on big problems whole can be too hard to conquer all at once.
A problem is like a car it has many parts connected to it that complete the whole picture. Now a regular old problem is the same as the a car, there are many parts contributing to the overall problem. Many things happened in order for you to be here in this situation. You must break the problem down into small parts to figure it all out and solve it. [click to continue…]

Right now as you read this and no matter what your future or past is, this is now. Your focus is shifted to reading this and now is where your focus remains. You see, when you live in the now the past and future are just labels. Its like being on a train thinking about when your going to reach your stop without just relaxing and enjoying the ride. You know that when you arrive to your destination you will go from there but for now you are just enjoying the scenery. [click to continue…]

Pain is a beautiful thing. You experience pain from the moment you come out of the womb, as you gasp for air for the very first time you breathe life and you exhale pain. Everything is so foreign and fresh. You breathe life as you are thrown into this new world. You are all on your own but have the choice to take advice and guidance from the people that’s been here longer than you.
You spend from there on out seeking things and experiencing pain, touching a hot iron just to see what happens. You figure out that pain is the definite, it exists without a doubt. Pain is how we decipher what is important and whats not, whats easy(not significant) and whats hard(significant). Pain can be found in short spurts between pleasure. [click to continue…]

I was making toast the other day and realized something. A toaster toasts bread way better when it just recently toasted bread. The bread is toasted more brown compared to the first attempt. This is because it was conditioned, its coils were still hot. It took the first attempt to get the toaster used to toasting bread and by the second attempt it cooked mighty fine. Now if you unplug the toaster for an hour you got to start back all over again to get to peak performance. [click to continue…]
