Life

         

          YPs, I have more than likely touched on this subject in the past, but it is only because I think that it is important.  It seems that everyone is so caught up in ‘You Only Live Once’, ‘Tomorrow Is Not Promised’, and every other catchy phrase that you can think of.  People are not realizing the consequences of their ‘Careless’ actions.  I am all about ‘Living Life To The Fullest’ and ‘Not Taking Life For Granted’ however, you do have to be mindful of the things that you want for TOMORROW, as well. 

          T0day, with the internet and all of the other technologies that we have, it is very easy to be monitored.  People, for various reasons, are always evaluating you.  Employers do not hire people without doing their research.  People do not pick ‘lifetime partners’ without seeing what the person is about.  All I am saying is that, sometimes you should not be so surprised when you do not get the j0b, or fired later on.  Sometimes you should not be surprised when that woman/man decides not to talk to you, or even leave you after being with you for years.  The evaluation process never stops.  The things you say ARE held against you and the things you DO hold even more weight. 

          The next time you tweet about ‘Making A Poor Life Decision’ or you do things that you know your mate is not in favor of, just be ready for what may happen next.  If you REALLY do not care and are not one of those people who just SAY they do not care, then go ahead and do what you have to do.  However, if you do care about tomorrow, you should make an effort to be more mindful of the things you say and more mindful of what you do.  Your decisions directly effect you and your life, act like you know that to be true!

YPs, Stand Up!!!

          Yps, these are just a few ‘Dos and Don’ts.’  There are many steps that need to be taken, in order to make the most out of your time and to be successful.  Put your all into everything and I am sure you will yield results!!!

Do:  Make sure you have a plan.  Nothing can be accomplished if there is not a goal in mind.  Take your plan even further and write it down.  Once on paper, your goals become a ‘real thing’ that you tend to take more seriously.  Check your written plan daily.  If you have to, make it apart of your routine to check it the same time everyday.  Having a written plan that you refer to daily will make you not want to let yourself down.  It is a constant reminder of the task at hand and all that is left, is to follow the plan.

          YPs, I know we are all on the same journey to Successville.  Sometimes however, we let weakness inside of ourselves and slow our progress down.  The weaknesses I’m talking about are EXCUSES.  We have all made them and unfortunately, are not done making them.  We need to identify our excuses and rid ourselves of them.  Excuses are the reasons that more people aren’t being classified as great.  An excuse will alter a timeline.  It will prevent a goal being reached.  It will cause a lack of motivation.  Yps we need to treat excuses like the plague and quarantine or get rid of them.  I put together a list of excuses that I have either used or heard, and I am working to get rid of them.  Read through the list and see if you are guilty and if you are, work to get rid of them with me.  If you don’t see one that you are guilty of but you have one that you know fits you, PLEASE ADD IT IN THE COMMENT SECTION!  Excuses are holding us back from being successful at work, at love, and at life, in general.  Meet me at Successville, NO EXCUSES!!!

…I didn’t think my work was good enough

…I didn’t want to be disappointed

…I forgot that I was supposed to do it

…I didn’t feel like doing anything, once I got off of work

…My favorite show was on

…I fell asleep

…You didn’t finish your part, so I figured I had more time

…Nobody expected me to do it anyway

…I lost my focus

…Someone already thought of a similar idea

…People like us never get a break

…Somebody else will do it

…It’s too much work

…I failed at other ventures in the past, will probably fail again

…Nobody wants to support me on my idea

…My girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband won’t let me focus

…I don’t have the heart to ‘jump out the window’

…I’ll do it if you do it with me

…I have to wait until I’m in a better place mentally/financially/etc.

…I just didn’t want to

YPs Stand Up!!!

          YPs, it’s time for us to get grown for a minute.  I’m coming to you today with one of the many aspects of a relationship, SEX.  More importantly, being in tune to your mate and how he/she wants it.  Sex can be a great positive force in a relationship.  It can also be a great hindrance.  Even when a relationship is not hitting on all cylinders, sex can be that common ground where two connect.  Personally, I feel that great connection comes with a respect, love and admiration for your partner.  Let’s be honest, most of us have had sex with someone that we were in love with and also with someone that we were not.  The difference is almost ASTONISHING!!! 

          Having sex with someone that you love, comes with so many benefits.  Humans by nature have selfish qualities.  I think that when you have sex with someone you love, that selfishness goes out the window.  When sexually involved with someone, you have to be open to how they like things.  Everyone’s sex drive is not the same.  Everyone’s favorite position is not the same.  Everyone’s willingness to explore new things is not the same.  You have to take the time to find these things out.  You can only benefit, from being educated and informed of your partners needs.  [click to continue…]

Do You Really Though?

May 21, 2011

          YPs, I have noticed that life is full of a bunch of talkers.  People who know what they may want/need/desire, but only know how to talk about it.  People who may even encounter what they ‘say’ they want, but DO nothing that is required to keep it.  Think about all the people in life [...]
