Random-Acts-of-Kindness-Day-2

Can you help somebody today?

The other day, I was checking out Facebook, and I came across a video that I will share below.  The caption that somebody put with the video captivated me a bit, and made me want to check out the video and see what it was all about.  As it turned out, watching the video really changed my life for that day. The video was about sharing with others, or helping others in some way.  Actually, I already try to live my life in this way, doing … [Read More...]

A very close friend

Friendship is a two way street

Having friends is a good thing. Having friends is an important thing. I have a lot of friends in my life. Some friends are more important than others. Some friends are like family. Actually, I guess, some friends are even closer than family. There's an old saying that friends are the family that you get to choose. With family, you're born with them, whether you like it or not. With friends, you certainly get to choose, and even choose which … [Read More...]

I choose happiness

Choose happiness

I believe that for the most part, it is our choice whether we are happy or unhappy in life.  I choose to be happy. I say "for the most part" because there is no such thing as perfect 100% 24/7 happiness.  But, we can achieve general happiness where we are on balance happy.  Of course, bad things happen to everybody, but even some bad things can, in the end, bring us happiness.  It just depends on how we choose to deal with our problems. … [Read More...]

Broken Hearted

The saga continues, and possibly ends

Over the past 6 months or so, I have written on this site and some of my other websites about Arnie and Irish.  Arnie and Irish are two young girls that we befriended some months back.  You can find my story about them here on Habits for Smart People, by going to Helping others sometimes has consequences.  Basically, Arnie and Irish came to our house one day looking for recyclable materials that they could sell and make a bit of money so … [Read More...]

Extra-Ordinary

Make yourself extraordinary

I imagine that few of us think about this - making ourselves extraordinary.  I think that most of us, if we think about this at all, just think that "hey, I am who I am, take it or leave it."  There is nothing wrong with that attitude, I suppose, but you can do so much better. You can make yourself extraordinary.  You can make yourself a cut above the average guy.  And, to be honest, it's not all that hard to do either.  If you want to … [Read More...]

Am I open minded?

Becoming open minded

Recently, I decided to begin a quest toward becoming more open minded.  I don't think that I have been closed minded (some people may disagree with me on that), but some things happened in my life over the past few months that made me realize that becoming more open minded is a good thing. What brought me to this realization?  Well, a big part of it had to do with seeing how closed minded some of my friends are.  Really it dawned on me that … [Read More...]

Do you have a problem with indecision?

Indecision.  It can be a big problem. If you cannot decide, or you have a very hard time deciding about something, it can be hard to move forward.  Whether it be a business project, personal product, even what clothes you will wear, not being able to make a decision leads to delays and on some projects can cost you a lot of money.  If you are trying to decide on how much to bid on a job, you may lose out altogether if your competition gets … [Read More...]

Social Media

Is social media smart?

The days in which we are living are filled with so much technology.  Everything we do revolves around technology in some way, it would seem.  Nothing wrong with that, it's just so different than things were 20 or 30 years ago. In my case, I earn my living due to technology.  I make my living on the Internet, so without technology, I could not live the life that I live.  Frankly, I love technology and what it brings to our lives.  I don't … [Read More...]
