My Journal. My Life. Me.
As I mentioned in my post about taking time for yourself there are some things that catch my attention and inspire me. Today, I was watching MTV’s television show “Made.” It was the episode where this 17 year old kid, Tanner, wanted to be made into a hip-hop dancer. There was one part in the episode where Tanner broke down into tears and his made coach Kamilah told him to believe in himself or no one else will.
When you believe in yourself others will believe in you too. Be confident …
A sort of online diary for my personal thoughts. Something for others to see another side of me. Sharing is power.

Have you had a Jamba Juice? If you haven’t, then you’ve been living in a hole for quite some time! It’s kind of neat that 2 of the founders of Jamba Juice, Kevin Peters and Joe Vergara, were students and graduates of Cal Poly (the college I attend). The 4th was Kirk Perron who was a young entrepreneur who graduated from Cuesta, a junior college near Cal Poly. Their very first store was known as the Juice Club and it opened in April 1990 on Foothill Boulevard near our …

Unfortunately, I did a quick search on Google for the article featured in this …
Every time I see this commercial on television it cracks me up. The humor in it is so true. That is, if you know or have any friends who smoke weed, which is very common these days. Though it is funny it’s a subject that should still be taken seriously.

This last week or so I was inspired to get a new look for my site after seeing my brother’s new theme and motivation to write again. I went out searching and found the Arthemia WordPress theme by Michael Hutagalung. I believe that Arthemia works great and belongs with the vision I’ve always had for GreggHawkins.com. The Arthemia WordPress theme allows me to have a section dedicated to my blog, but also have categories for other interests of mine such as writing a personal journal, my business ventures and …
Just me talking. Boxing is a great metaphor for life. Like boxing, in life we are always fighting against adversity. It is physically and mentally exhausting; hard and tough. One of my favorite quotes is, “Why do we fall? So we learn to pick ourselves back up.” As individuals it may seem like all odds are against us, they are.
