How We Live Our Lives

When a love one passes away we sit and reflect. We tell stories, remember, laugh and cry. But, what hospice professionals and others who take care of patients at the end of their lives will tell you is that it's really how you live that matters most.  Did you impact others in a positive way? Are you doing what you want to do professionally?  Do you have the right friends and the right circle that cares about your well-being.

If any your answers were no, then you should reconsider what you're doing. I believe that every moment of our lives is of utmost importance. We cannot predict the future. All you can do is impact your present. It's so important to make sure you are doing what you love. Be with people you love, do things now and be in the present. The opposite is also true. If someone or something is bringing you down, get them out of your life.  This includes people, jobs, commutes, food, sex, drugs, alcohol and anything else you deem as toxic to your health.

It is our responsibility to laugh, cry, and feel as much as we can everyday! Live in the moment and share your love with the right people!!!!

W. Clement Stone "Do It Now"

One of the maxims that jolts me to action is, "Do it Now." I first heard this wonderful expression when reading W. Clement Stone's "The Success System That Never Fails." Now he was a real man of action. When his father died Stone was only a child. Did he get depressed, down in spirits or give up? No. He did the opposite and decided to work extra hard and take action. He became a man at a young age. As he sold insurance policies door to door and then managed sales teams and franchises his company grew to one of the largest in the U.S. The point is that when you're down all too often we allow these feelings to linger. But this is exactly the time you need to remember to think positively. More important, take action. Do something you enjoy!!! You are great, you have potential to help others, be social, write, work on a business you've been wanting to start for some time, watch or play a sport, read a book, listen to your favorite comedian, just  "Do...

Always Keep Granola Bars in My Car

I live in Los Angeles and there are lots of homeless people holding signs as you exit the freeway. Therefore, I hand out granola bars if I'm stopped.  The other day I gave a box of kind bars to a homeless veteran. He said to me "sir can I really have the whole box?" His gratitude made my entire week.

Lessons Learned

This Blog was inspired by my grandfather in October when he suggested that I should write. As a family friend said to me, it was meant to happen. He lit the fire! It was up to me to decide what the subject material would be for the Blog. And, how my experiences could be of most value to my readers.  I find that the people who I look up to most excel at making the correct moral and ethical decisions.  Their religious and political backgrounds vary. But, the constant remains family, history, a thirst for learning and respect for their elders.  Though I come from a different generation, I strive for the same. This week has been an emotional roller coaster.  Knowing my grandfather was bed ridden I had to act happy for a surprise party for my 30th birthday. After visiting my grandpa Saturday afternoon my mom called me from my grandparents house on Sunday, I answered immediately but didn't want to. The funeral was Tuesday and I turned 30 Wednesday. I recall the w...
