7 Important Questions to Ask Yourself

Image by DeviantArt user Dynnnad

“Become what you always dreamt of becoming.”

Inspired by an article featured on Dumb Little Man. Try answering these [7 questions] for yourself and be true to yourself while thinking about the questions and answering them with sincerity. It’s hard to sometimes be “real” with yourself, but honesty is the best policy. Since 2010 is coming to a close I thought that I’d do a little bit of self-reflection. Let me tell you…this year freakin’ flew by in a heartbeat.
On a scale of 1-9, how satisfied …

Become a Quitter at Quitting

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

In my last post “Put Two Feet In” I mentioned that we must be quitters at quitting. I will stand by that statement and guard it with my life.
Take a second to reflect on the past. I’ve been doing quite a bit of soul searching and self-reflection lately and realized that I have quit …

But once you have set the wages,

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
Some of you may recognize this poem, some you may not. I came across this poem in Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, of which …

To Wake Up with a Smile

When I woke up this morning I checked my emails in my bed with my iPhone (a habit that I’ve developed since getting one). Someone visited my site and used the contact page to send me an email. This morning was the first time, in a while, that I was able to start the day off with a smile on my face. I wanted to write a post about it because I tried emailing this person back, but received a delivery failure. Hopefully Sanath makes another visit and see this …
