I Am Inspired to Inspire You

I have to say "Thank God" for all the positive people in the world who are trying to make a difference. I hope to be one of those persons. I pray that as I meet people and interact with them that they are inspired.

I know that I can be grumpy sometimes and today was one of these days. It wasn't a bad day but I was just not in the frame of mind. I came home and put on some music because that is my "cooler". At work, I'm listening to music while I deal with the simple and complex issues that I face.

I work in an environment where boldness mixed with humility, innovation while remembering tradition and toughness anchored with understanding are essential. Tough decisions have to be made and if I want to grow, sometimes I have to make them or aid in them being made.

I listened to Billionaire PA today on ZBVI and he is an excellent speaker. He exudes positivity and confidence. I do hope that the event tonight will be successful. My listening to him in the car gave me some gumption.

Let us all exude confidence when we are asked to speak. Let us be strong and courageous even when we feel we are the underdog. Let us be inspired to make change and to ease our fears away. We have to communicate in our homes, schools and workplaces to inspire this change.

Be the best you that you can be!

Ten Tips I Am Sharing About Life

I like the simple things in life. I enjoy sharing in my blog and writing poetry. However, I dislike blogging from my phone. I wrote this entire blog post already … but had an error message.

I do not profess to have the answers or solutions to anything but I like to share information with others. I have learned a lot by reading tips and informational articles about life. I think these ten tips may be helpful to you.

1. Be nice
Be you but be nice. You do not have to smile with everyone but you should be courteous. Being pleasant makes you more approachable and helps you to make a good first impression.

2. Manage your money
Do not let your money manage your life; instead make wise financial decisions. Save for hard times or a rainy day and insure your property.

3. Be spiritual
Whether you are religious or not, find time to meditate. If you are religious, then pray and congregate with like minds.

4. Watch your friends
In the VI, the old folks used to say that “not every skin teeth is a laugh” meaning that not everyone who smiles with you is your friend. If you notice a trust issue among friends, address it and/or move on. Do not keep anyone in your circle who will bring you down.

5. Relax
We all need to relax. This does not mean that you should laze around and be unproductive. However, stress can kill you so you have to take time to chill and rest.

6. Be silly sometimes
Find what is fun for you and enjoy it. If it is fun, then there should be no stress involved!

7. Continuously learn
Learning does not only mean a classroom. Use the resources available such as elders, short courses and online resources. Grammarly is a good resource and you can learn about anything on YouTube. The internet is a great resource; just use it wisely.

8. Dream
Consider yourself in what you see as your realistic ideal. Start with how you can get there and make a plan to make it happen. Be mindful of the key word: realistic.

9. Seek advice when needed
You do not need someone to tell you how to make every move. However, sometimes you need to seek counsel when making tough decisions. Be careful who you ask because you do not want your information to be shared with others.

10. Love you
You will never succeed trying to be like everyone else. Love yourself – if you do not then who will? I am not saying to be egotistical, but you have to first love yourself before you can love others.

I hope that you enjoyed and can use one or two of these tips.
