Hello world,
This has been one heck of a week in our nation. Most of the nation has been dealing with extreme heat and/or storms of some sort, and watching the turmoil in Iran. Thank God for our American freedoms!
Now to the celebrity front, where we have lost three greats in their own rights, all within a few days or hours passing of one another.
First, there was Mr. He-----re's Johnny, Ed McMahon, and a few days later, we lost the beautiful blonde, of The famous 3 Charlies Angels ladies, Miss. Farrah Fawcett, and then almost within hours of hearing of her death, we lost the king of pop, none other than, Mr. Michael Jackson.
After hearing that Ed McMahon had died, earlier in the week, I remember thinking, oh boy, there will most likely be at least two other celebrities die before the month is over, it just seems that when famous people die, their deaths happen in three's. One goes, then 2 more. Wonder why that is? Maybe it's just that when celebrities die we notice it more.
So as we all mourn in our own way over these celebrities deaths, that brings me to my point...
How will you and I be remembered when we die? Yeah I know DEATH is a very solemn subject, and many of us would rather not think about it, but, sooner or later we all have to come face to face with that there grim reaper, as they say.
So the question I pose to you today is, how will you be remembered, or more important, at least for you and I, how would we like to be remembered?
I've heard it said by many motivational speakers that, our life is a gift from God, to us, and how we live that life is our gift back to God.
So, I ask are we living our life to the fullest? How are you and I representing God's gift, our life? Are we contributing anything back to the universe, or are we just taking from it.
More important still is, are you and I living the life we dream of living.
Now that does not necessarily mean riches and wealth, in the sense of money and material things, though that is great too, but, are we doing something in life that brings us joy, whether that be in our working life, our family life, leisure or whatever...
Find that which brings you enjoyment, and hopefully income, and do it with all your heart and soul.
Life is too short, and precious,for mediocrity, I mean sure Ed McMahon was 86, but that, in my opinion is still to young to check out, unless by that age you feel you've done all the living you want and your live has been fulfilled, hey I say much love friend happy travels. But, why not push it till 100 plus, and do all you can to stay healthy, so you have a fruitful life even at 100. There are people doing it you know.
Cyber family, I did not mean to bring on a downer here, but...
The point is, take advantage of all life's opportunities, that is if you want to, and if you would receive some benefit from whatever the opportunity offers you or could offer others.
Lastly, let us all try to remember to leave something good of ourselves behind when we do leave this plane called life. I believe the world would be a much better place because of it.
Wishing you all much love and success!

Follow up to Hire Yourself.
Hello world,
As I sit here at my computer, I've been watching one of the financial news stations where there was suppose to be an interview with Warren Buffet, I guess I missed it.
I did however catch an interview the network had with Mr. Buffet a few months back. In it they were asking Mr. Buffet what his thoughts were on our present day economy. He gave his comments, which I thought were very positive for the most part, at least with regards to the future of America. He stated that every 10-15-20 years or so countries go through down times in their economies, it's just the natural order of things, but he felt positive that America would once again bounce back. I have been thinking that all along. One just need look back in history. We have our ups and we have our downs in the Amercian economy.
It has been said, it will be the American Entrepreneur that will bring on the economic recovery to America. Because job's are pretty much going by the wayside. It is getting tough for businesses to stay competitive and profitable.
As hard as some may like to admit, the way we once did business in America, heck in the world is changing. Especially with the growth of the Internet. No more business as usual.
City and Government budgets are being stretched. Look at LA.
I personally was affected by budget crisis in my city. Because of the housing market, which means less tax revenue, in my full time job with school district I work for, we have had to take a pay freeze, the first in my 15 years there. We also had to close down one of our elementary schools, discontinue our summer school program this year and implement a hiring freeze.
Then there is my delivery route, where we drivers were forced to take a 25% decrease in our route pay, and as you know gas prices our not coming down anymore, so good by to any possible profits. My point here is not to keep spreading the gloom and doom of more bad news, but to encourage us to think outside the box and find ways to, as the saying goes, "handle our own business."
I read a great quote on the back cover of a news week magazine that said, "No one has a more vested interest in your overall well being than you!" Be it health, finances, education or spiritual growth. And, neither should anyone be more vested in your success than you.
Until next post much success to you!

Can't Find A Job? Hire Yourself!
Recently there was a job fair here in my city, and as I lay in bed watching the morning news, they were interviewing some of the people who were at the job fair. Now there had to be well over 3000 people there looking for work or maybe they were hoping to find a diferent carreer.
Some people were really dressed up in nice suits, and the ladies had on fancy skirt outfits or pant suits. Other's were just dressed somewhat casual, heck I saw a few pass by in the back ground in jeans.
As the news reporters interviewed some of the job seekers, many said they had been laid off by other companies, or the company they were with, went out of business, and a variety of other reasons they were there that morning, job hunting. I imagine there were maybe 50 companies there.
Wow 50 companies, if that, and over 30oo people looking to work at any one of these companies.
Now as I lay there in bed, I could not help but wonder, how many of those individuals who were at that job fair, ever considered, "working for themselves"? I can only imagine how much talent was in that room that day.
Many of those people probably have the answer that could solve a lot of probelms for others, and if they tapped into there abilities, they would not have to be at a job fair, they could possibly be working from home, via the computer and internet.
I once heard a quote from a radio personality, that went like this. "Do what is easy while things are hard, so that, when things get hard, you can do what is easy."
In just, what he was saying is, don't wait until you lose your income source/job to try something new. While you have employment or a source of income that is the time to pay off debt, go back to school, look for ways to increase your worth in the marketplace, or better yet, to start you own internet marketing business. Heck it's not that expensive in most cases.
Also, as Tony Robbins say's, "success leaves clues." Find someone who is successful in what you would like to do, and copy/follow in their foot steps, or better yet, have them mentor you.
Well, I'll get off my soap box. Think, Think, Think, Then DO,DO,DO!!!
God Bless!
