Ever thought about how lucky we are to have the technology we have?  I'm about to fly across the Pacific Ocean at 700 miles an hour drinking some orange juice and watching a movie.  And when I need to use the bathroom I can pause my movie!?  Are you kidding?! 

If you ever hear me complain about a long flight please slap me and say "That's for all the guys who died crossing the ocean in wooden boats delivering spices that you can now order on Amazon" ;) …

Each day we can wake up and choose to see life as a gift and to be

fully present in that…

Happy Tuesday, all!

Here’s a quick story about the power of perspective:

“Two workers were approached by a reporter. The reporter asked the first worker, “What are you doing?” His response was to complain and that he was virtually a slave, an underpaid bricklayer who spent his days wasting his time, placing bricks on top of another.

The reporter asked the…

There's things in our life's that good and there bad thing, so we have to take it like it comes so may god bless everyone and think before you go out there and do something you shouldnt do think about the people who love you and the hurt you will do to there lives.  

Who matters,

Who never did,

Who won't anymore...

And who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,

There's a reason they didn't make it to your future.

I stumbled upon the picture above recently and wanted to share it on my blog this beautiful Friday morning. It definitely gives us all something important to ponder… are you using your time wisely? Are you spending too much time on things that aren’t in alignment with your…

Earlier this week at work, we had our typical weekly meeting, where we share new ideas and talk about how things are going. During the meeting, I brought up an idea I that I had been thinking of for a future event at our club. Later that day, one of my co-workers came up to me and said, “Jordan, that…

As I write this from my $6/night bungalow, RIGHT on the beach in Ko Phangan, Thailand, with my $6/day scooter in the driveway, and thinking about riding to town for my $3 dinner, it's hard to imagine a land of big mortgages, corporate jobs with 2 week vacations, and $7+ martinis. Today I rode my scooter down some sketchy dirt roads, climbed down an AMAZING waterfall to a beach with no one on it. We were thirsty/hungry so I climbed a coconut tree and tossed a couple down. There was so much…

Affirmations are the most effective way I know to increase your confidence and self image / esteem.  You repeat them daily, in really just a minute or two or three.  It's an easy thing to add to your daily routine.  I personally tend to do them while driving to/from home.

You can use them to increase your confidence in specific areas, such as dealing with customers, treating your family with love and respect, eating a healthy diet etc.

My goal here is not to…

"When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money.

That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is - everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your…

Goals & Purpose

Motivation will almost always beat mere talent. – Norman R. Augustine…

Balance is key

-Positive attitude + mental focus + plan of action = success

-Stop chasing rainbows and find your treasure

-Change nothing and nothing will change

-If you want to change the world you are your first responsibility

-It is alright to help people, just not at the expense of your own essence

-The definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over

again, and each time expecting a different result

-Surround yourself with like…

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without…

A reoccurring message has become clear to me these past few days… As stated above, life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful. I think that many people get so caught up in trying to make things “perfect”. We want our relationships, job, closet, bodies, make-up, hair, life, etc. to be ideal. Maybe I’m generalizing when I say “people”…

Watch your thoughts they become words    

Watch your words they become actions

  Watch your habits; they become your character 

 Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

Love is in the air this month, and yesterday’s chocolate-filled holiday sure was a happy one for me. Since my last post was dedicated to all you single folks out there, I wanted to take the opportunity today to share some insight for my “taken” readers.

While I’m currently in a happy and healthy relationship, it hasn’t always been this way for me. I’ve had turbulent years of dating experience (as I’m sure…

There is a great sports story in the basketball world right now: Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks.

A month or so, Lin was an asterisk on the Knicks roster. He was on the team, but barely – and he got very

little playing time. Then, because more established players were unable to play, Lin got his chance.

The results are nothing short of phenomenal. As of this writing, he is…

Interdependent, Healthy & Sexy Love...

A common theme I find in struggling relationships, is partners owning each other…

Partners fall in love…

Last year on Valentine’s day, I was single. For some, this may seem like your worst nightmare. For others, this ain’t really a big deal. Fortunately, I was part of the latter. Instead of feeding into the pessimism of others on my Facebook feed and whining, “All those happy couples can suck it!” or “This holiday freakin’ SUCKS! Screw love” or “Blah, blah, blah, I am…
