The Highway Sets the Traveler's Stage

As I watched this jellyfish float around in a tank at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I couldn't help but think about how jealous I was of this fish. This jellyfish looks so simple, swims with flow of the water in the tank, all in harmony with the other jellyfish.

I wish my life was simple. I wish I could go with the flow of things, in harmony with everyone in this world. I wish life magically worked itself out, life were easy.

But than again, the jellyfish is confined to the box its in. It will no longer be able to explore the depths of the ocean, see life the way it was created for. This jellyfish must be going nuts.

I feel that  complaining, grumbling, and whining on this computer about how crappy my life is, is equivalent to confining myself in a box. There is so much in the world to experience; events to see, people to meet, and so much life to learn. Take a step outside. I dare you. The change starts with you.

The Simplicity of a Child

What we would pay to look out into the world as a child again....

I'm Tired of the Show

Are you are a fake? Do say you are passionate about something but then act like you have no part in what you said you were passionate about? One of my biggest pet peeves on Facebook is when people post like crazy about God. Reading all this stuff are just words. What are you going to do about it?

I don't care if you go to church, how you "worship", what you read, or how God is talking to you. So what? Show me what you believe by how you live your life. Show me your actions. Your actions show what you are passionate about.

Millions of people all over the world cannot stand for their rights. Millions of people have no hope. Millions of people have no life. What are you going to do about it?

You only live once. So live it right. Live out your passion.

I Get by with a Little Help from My Friends

So what is in my head...

I am 22 years of age and I just graduated college with a degree in general management. Like many other graduates I am looking for a job. I know our economy is not in the greatest of places and job availability, especially in business, is scarce.  To buy a house, settle down, and grow up is something that I have always dreamt about. A job and money are two things that I really need right now to get rolling and pursue my lifelong dream. But that is not all that has been in my head...

The other day I read a story. A man found out he was going to be fired. This man treated his clients very poorly by anything he could to make money. The man realized the lifestyle he was living and felt terrible. About to be jobless, this man had to find a way to make things right with his clients. He couldn't bare to live a life by the way he treated his clients on his back. Before the man was fired, he paid off all his clients who owed him money. The man's action was to show his clients he cared about his relationship with them more than he did about the money.

Part of me wants to pursue my dream life, but the rest of me realizes that this dream is worthless without people to share it with. I have been blessed with so many friends and have met so many amazing people in this life. Money has never been an issue for me and I believe this is why I have been blessed with friends. Being spoiled is not what I am saying here. What I am saying is that the friendships that you have should outweigh the money you have in your bank account. Money can only take you so far. The friendships you share with others are endless. Focus on the people not your bank account.


Cheers!
