Are you Obsessed?

Hello Readers,

Sometimes, when we hear the word "obsessed," we add a negative connotation to it. However, let's dissect the meaning, according to one of Merriam Webster's definitions obsessed means “an activity that someone is very interested in or spends a lot of time doing." I have studied the obsessions of entrepreneurs for a while and it seems that most if not all entrepreneurs are obsessed. Possibly we all could be obsessed with something we like to do "a lot." The question is what are you obsessed with? Your passion lies in your obsession. Here is a curve ball, people can be so obsessed to the point they do not do anything about the desire they have. For example, Sally is obsessed with becoming a teacher, she loves kids and she is almost done with her studies in school. Her next step is to apply for jobs which is what she day dreams about all day but, she is stagnant on the applying. She gets cold feet because she is stuck on being such a "great" teacher and waiting for the "perfect" moment to apply, she loses her confidence as to what her heart tells her to do. She is in “love" with the idea of teaching", but hasn't finished the moves needed to do what she needs to do. In short she is obsessed herself into fear. What is the solution to this? Sally has to Keep it Moving (KIM). Sally is the only person standing in her own way. What is keeping you from your obsession, are you obsessed with the "idea" of something or are you making strides in your obsession? Are you standing in your own way?

Treatment

Hello Readers,

I recently watched a very good movie which involved the treatment of other human beings. The movie showed how people are racially profiled not only for the color of their skin but for the clothes they wear or who they hang around. Also I recently read a story about how our First Lady Michelle Obama was treated by her roommate at Yale. Her roommate did not want to be in the same room as Michelle so the roommate called her mother to have Michelle moved to another room. Years later the mother of the roommate apologized for her behavior (I guess she never thought she would be the First Lady). I think this is the issue, that sometimes we as a people (the human race) do not think. We must be careful how we talk to others. Even I am guilty of it. We have to make a conscience effort to show love to one another and put aside our thoughts of negativity and look for the positive in all. Next time you want to view someone as different from you, it is OK because they are different from you. So treat them as you want to be treated. You never know who you are speaking to.

Time

Hello Readers,
 
These are things we should make time for in our lives:
 
Yourself
To think
To meditate
To read
To pray
To have fun
To relax
To vacate
To do nothing
To study
To learn
To serve
To observe
To be silent
To exercise
For others
 
We all have the same 24 hours in a day. How are you spending not managing your time? You cannot manage something that will move regardless of what you do. However, how you spend your time today will ultimately determine how you spend your tomorrow. Spend wisely.

Experiences

Hello Readers,

 
If you were to ask any of my friends and especially my husband they will tell you I love to be on the go. What exactly do I mean by “be on the go” you may ask?  I love to see and experience things. It could be a concert, shopping at a mall, a city, or an amusement park, the list can go on. Don't get me wrong I like material things as well, however nothing materialistic can ever replace an experience. Think about it, the experience your children will get when they go to Disney World the first time, nothing can top that. The experience your children will when they go to prom for the first time, nothing can top that. One experience I love to do is attend concerts in different cities. Yes I am one of those people who travel for concerts, why because I love the experience and because I want to. This is why there are so many lists published which say do these before you die? The authors of these various lists want the same thing I am asking of you. They want you to have experiences. Have you ever picked up one of these lists? I have my own and I do not call it a bucket list. My list is called the “list of things to do before I turn 120”. In 2015, I am knocking some of these tasks out. You may ask why? What is the big deal? Why go to a concert or why go to a soap making class (which I did in Jan of this year)? Again it is all about the experience. What experiences are you going to have for yourself, for your family, for your friends? How are you going to impact the world through different experiences in your life? Something to think about.

Response

 
Sooo, in reference to last night’s Super Bowl. Yes it was a good game and yes it left many of us with our mouths on the floor. However, people will not only remember the bad call but, they will remember the response. The response one gives is what carries the character and integrity of the person. People will more than likely forget what initiated the rumble on field but, they will not forget the rumble. We all have areas of growth and we all get our feathers ruffled from time to time. Here is what I have learned: walk away or simply do not respond. It is amazing the amount of peace that comes over you when you ignore something that is not worthy of your time. Remember if the situation will not bring positive impact to your life, then the situation may not be worthy of a response. Think about it.
