Captain Planet

So my niece has this toy that talks and every time the toy says heart my niece does as well. So of course because I am definitely a 90's TV era watcher, a certain cartoon pops into my head....

CLICK HEREE


That's right Captain Planet. If you know the cartoon I am referring to you know that there's always the segment right before the Planeteers say their corresponding element before the call on Captain planet to take care of the Evil Planet Wrecking Villains.

So where am I going with this? Well no where I just want someone else to have this song stuck in there head because I'm about to go crazy because it just keeps playing and playing...it's been like this for three days now! When will this horror end?!?

THE POWER IS YOURS!

Starting Over

Just remember in life "It happens"! It being getting off track, pushing your goals aside "temporarily", and just giving in to your vices. When you get off track it's time to start over. Don't dwell on the past. It's your life and only you can live it. So it's time to pull up your underoos and do what you got to do.

Even though it can be difficult you have to move forward. This means reset your goal. Really, re-write your goals and start over. Tell yourself "This is a new day, a new beginning and I will..."fill those previous dots with what you are trying to accomplish.

You may not have to do it alone. The best thing about the web is having this instant way to connect with people all over the world. With a simple search you can find someone that is trying to accomplish the same goal you have. But always use discretion there are some crazy people out there. Why not enlist a friend or family member? This way there is a more personal touch to what it is that you are doing. Friendly competition is always a great motivator.

Depending on the health risks involving your goal I would recommend that you take one single day for yourself where you don't worry at all about your goal. Take time to just deal with life in general. I reiterate it is your life and it is you that has to live it.

One note I want to add before closing up is that you have to make time to see the fruits of our labor. If you don't take time to focus on doing the steps to make the goal happen then it probably won't happen.

When you set your mind to it you can accomplish just about anything you set your mind to!

Good Luck!

Spoken Word

So it's been awhile since I have been on the spoken word or slam circuit. I have to admit I miss it very much. So I have decided to try and jump back on the train and observe. I love how passionate my fellow writers are and I miss that intensity. SO don't be surprised if you see Youtube.com links and postings with said poetry. I've been writing a lot these days and have been considering whether or not I want to post some of my work. I'm still thinking on it...

Just wanted to do some kind of update! Expect an article by the end of this upcoming week. I haven't decided the topic of my article just yet, but once I figure it out I'll get crackin' on it. If you have any ideas feel free to message me and I'll most likely go with your suggestion.

Personal Wins

There’s a quote that I’ve been carrying around on my Ipod as a screen saver that is very fitting “If you want the Rainbow, you gotta put up with the Rain” (unknown).

I’m not going to get into who cliché that sounds, but if you truly want to get positive and turn things around it starts with attitude. It starts with how you want your outlook to be at the end of the day. This means that we have to start off the day on the right foot. When I first wake up I am the last person you want to meet early in the morning. People that know me know this and generally steer clear until I have fully awakened. This is a trait that I fully own and recognize about myself. I don’t do mornings. So when I make life choices the fact that I don’t do mornings very well factor in to my everyday routine. Example: My first year in college attempted to take AM courses so I could have the rest of the evening to work and play....yeah… let’s just say the 4.0. GPA I had in high school did not carry over. But any and all of the following semesters if there was the possibility I made sure to not take classes before noon. If I did have a class before then I made sure to only take one at a time.

For my naysayers that are thinking “In the working world that’s not how it goes…” To that I have to say when there’s a will there’s a way! When looking into your career or job opportunities be sure to factor in you personal time restrictions. Also create your personal wins/prizes, trust me the help the day seem a little bit brighter. Whether it be a snack, a smile, a date, or simply that nap that you need.

For example, I currently work at an airport. My shift can start anywhere between 4am to 6am. I use the early mornings to my advantage, I’m too tired to drive (nor is it safe for me to drive when I’m not fully operating) I take public transportation.

My win:
• I saved tons of money from not buying gas. *Sighing with relief*
• I sit back while the bus cruises on the shoulder during rush while cars are at a stand still. *Snickering to self*
• I don’t have to worry about getting a parking spot and possibly running late. *Smiling and ready to get the day started*


When I am all clocked in and ready to work I look forward to meeting the many clients I get to interact with and know that lunch isn’t too far off. I like to bring my own lunch and every once in awhile I’ll go grab a meal. Again, personal win for the day. One of my coworkers has a Facebook personal win. She updates her status between clients and gossips with other leads on floor. Another coworker of mine loves to talk. He fills his empty lulls with charming everyone within 7ft. of his station. One of my favorite co-workers makes it her mission to hold off seeing our various supervisors. Each day of the week when she has time she stops by my station and hums the mission impossible theme and gives me updates on how many times she’s evaded being seen by our sups and some silly situation our clients tend to create. (In case you are wondering the record she holds for evading our sups for face and phone contact is four hours and 20 minutes.)

It comes down to the attitude you carry with you during the day. Try to start off your morning right. Create mental note or a list of personal wins that you can look forward to. Hold on to your personal wins and create your own rainbows.

It's the first!


Since this is my first day of posting expect a lot of activity on the page…mostly because I need to find my concept and what works best for me.
