Motivation

What motivates us to be better? Is it results? Is it that hope in the end that it will be different? What if you knew it wouldn't change, what if you knew the result would be minimal at best? Would you still push yourself and strive harder for that goal? Plateaus in life come and go. We are often finding ourselves in a rut that comes abruptly and some times right in middle of when we are working hardest at that change. Science can tell you some things but not always, sometimes it's not the place we are at that needs to change it is us. Like any peak, once you reach the top you take a moment to look around at what you just achieved. There are often times that you reach a summit just to find out your just getting started. Now do you climb down and give up? No! You look down and say........ That's a long way down. And then you'll stand there for a minute and ask yourself do I really want to go back the way I just came? Look at how far I've already come! I just need to ...

The Secret to a Successful Breakfast!!!

     I can't stress enough the importance starting your day off with a good breakfast. It is easier than people think and I have the perfect simple solution: 5 eggs, 5 egg whites. 1/4 bell pepper 1/4 onion 1/2 cup baby spinach 1/2 cup mushrooms Ham or pre cooked bacon (I like mine crispy so I cook it in the microwave for about a minute) Blend the eggs and veggies together. Cook as individual "patties" or as scrambled eggs and store in screw top ziploc containers, about 5 servings, and top with either the ham or two slices of bacon. Heat for 45 seconds in the morning and boom breakfast is served!!!

“Give me my iPhone, or give me death…”

      The other day I sat down my iPhone while at work. I walked away not realizing that would be the last time I’d see it. Someone picked it up then walked away and who knows where it is now. I tried tracking it and going through the motions but it wasn’t going to resurface. Granted I also don’t have the patience to wait a week to try and find it. But after it was all said and done the Sprint guy did me a solid and it set me back a couple bucks but, I guess that’s what I get for not being cautious…. or is it.        It really bothered me and of course I threw a fit and shook my fist and what not. I will say though I am grateful for Apple’s ingenious technology and the fact that my phone backed itself up on icloud so I never missed a beat. But now looking back I can’t seem to put my finger on what bothered me most. Was it the fact that we live in a world where you can’t set your phone down on a table without someone taking it; or tha...

A fatherless world???

The world as we know it under attack. Our society is being convinced and being pushed towards and  into family warfare. Fathers are portrayed in sitcoms and movies as losers. Commercials and magazines try to convince men that they need to constantly chase the the American dream and be rich and foolish. That a man's man is a guy who drinks beer and watches football on Sunday instead of going to church and and leading his family. Marriage is being attacked as well and woman are being decieved into thinking they don't need a man to have kids and two mommies can be just as good if not better or even as far as just not being a mommy at all. The face of a traditional family is no longer, Al Bundy and Homer Simpson are the "new" dad. But the science and the statistics will not lie. Crime, abortion, teen pregnancy, suicide, and gangs can be traced back to absentee fathers or men who choose to be less than willing to be good fathers and put their familes first. It's a real...
