The Blog Is Alive
I already have a post about putting my blog on the side so I won't go there tonight. I have been neglectful and to my blog and its readers, I apologize.
I think I have gotten too confident with my writing at work so I have put my blog, which has taken me so far, on the side. It's the same thing we do with family and friends. We tend to forget after we have made it. I'm reverting right back to my roots. Because of this blog, today I am a better writer and poet.
Because of the people in my circle, I am a better person. I have been able to experience so many good things and I am thankful. I am truly blessed. Things may not always go the way that I have planned, but God is in control.
I have to get back into the swing of things. I'm definitely going to be posting more in the blog. I think my Inspire VI page on Facebook has taken all my time. I've also been catching up at work to get myself current.
As the holidays are approaching, I am encouraging everyone to stay focused and enjoy themselves safely and responsibly!
Blessings.

POEM: I Say Yes!
I say "Yes"
YES! to being my very best
YES! for living beyond the stress
I won't back down
and I won't give up
because although I have a half-filled cup
it doesn't mean I'm down on my luck
So YES! it's time to give more and not less
while being confident on passing these tests
keeping the faith and holding firm
and completing feats beyond the norm
there's no reason to doubt the victory
what could happen in one day
may not be seen again for a century
It's YES! for me all the way
and negatives won't be able to sway
the way I'm thinking and moving today
I keep positive in everything I say
and I say YES!
I'm staying on a good beat
YES! I'm strengthening my feet
for the journey is not easy
and it's not meant for the queasy
so YES!
Stand up
Stand firm
and lead!

POEM: Don't Settle
Don't Settle
Don't settle
Don't settle
for lowest
or for the slowest
when you can put
positive energy forth
and show what you're worth
You are talented
you are a great friend
you are the one
that makes me smile
even when I'm down
so today
don't be dismayed
dust off and
move forward!

Be a good example to your children
It is not always easy to overcome your fears. It takes a lot to go on stage. It is not easy to take a hard test. It might even be uncomfortable to go on a job interview. However, you can't let life run ahead of you. You have to try.
As a parent, sometimes it's hard to convince your children to push on and do something that they are not comfortable with. In whatever case I can, I put myself out there so that I can set the example for them. They have seen me win and they have seen me fail. However, I don't give up because I have to be their inspiration and role model.
You should not seek to have your children live your dreams. I want to be clear on that. They have their own destiny. What we can do is to show them that we are confident and willing to push ourselves.
Be a good example to your children.

POEM: There Is A Time
There is a time to smile
because helping someone to smile
makes the person forget
for a moment
what is bothering them
We have to cry
we have to put our burdens
into tears and let them flow out
We need to share
there are some who need
more than we do
so giving a little won't hurt a lot
Sometimes we are down
because no life is perfect
and with ups and down
we master patience
There is a time to let go
let go of the hurt
the negativity, the bad feelings
and then just smile
because you survived
and are ready for the next challenge

Being in Management
Management is not an easy task. Some people are given management positions without prior experience. Some have educational qualifications that would suit the position. Some just have the right attitude, while others are great at thinking on their feet.
A lot of us like to say that we want to be behind the scenes. However, we are the same ones who turn around and complain about being passed over. You have to make a decision. The behind the scenes person could be 'forgotten' when it's time for a promotion.
We like to decline challenges and tasks and I think that many of us regret it after. Each person is not management material and in today's economy, you have to be a critical thinker. I have discussed this with family and teachers and many people lack critical thinking skills. You have to be able to solve problems and make things work. A good manager puts his resources to good use.
So where do you stand? What can you do to improve your marketability in the workplace? Don't sit and wait for anyone to promote you. Look for opportunities to grow!
