We all have weak moments when we say to ourselves, “I’m only going to have one or I’m only going to do this one time or one time won’t hurt anything & so on,” in regards to things that may not be best for us now or later. In your pursuit of happiness, minor/simple things can throw us off track so keep in mind the four sentences above. Keep the negative thoughts, words, actions and habits to a minimal to ensure success detours are short lived. Think positively, speak positively and behave positively to create good habits conducive to being successful YPs.
Happy New Year from YPBlogSpot! It is a new year full of opportunities, and promise. Let’s make this year a defining year in our lives YP’s and not settle for anything less! #SuccessvilleBound
“The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything but they make the most of everything…”

On Twitter, I follow all sorts of inspirational people to whom I draw motivation and encouragement from time to time. While perusing through my tweets the other day, I read this quote that I was instantly drawn to and that made my heart smile! In life, we all have different paths that we take. There is always going to be someone who is going to have a better car than you, a bigger house, better clothes, so on and so forth. If we get caught up in trying to measure up to everyone and everything, then our lives will be pretty unfulfilled. In order for us to be “happy” we have to be appreciative of all that we do have, while striving for more. I have definitely learned through the years to be grateful of everyone and everything in my life, because I know at any moment it can be taken away. YPs, we are all blessed in various capacities, so embrace what you have with open arms and share that joy with the ones that surround you; life is too short not to do so!
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Good day YP’s! Life is all about living, I mean truly living. Now that definition of “living” varies from person to person. Living to one person may be serving God, to another it may be traveling, learning each and everyday, what have you. Finding out what you love is one thing, but putting it into play is another. With that said, we all have to keep living and experiencing what we want out of life. As YP’s the last thing we want to do is to look back in our lives, and think of everything that we wished we could of accomplished. Let’s all live the life the way we want, seize the moment, and accomplish everything that we set out for ourselves. It starts today, because there is no time like the present. Live life to the fullest, because everyday above ground is a good one!

“Things could be a lot worse…” VS “Things could be a lot better…” YPs we’ve all had our bad times where things aren’t going well and we or someone says, “Things could be worse,” then we nod our head in agreement. I begin to ponder on that quote and realized how loosely we [...]

Good morning YP’s. I know many Americans, and close friends personally who are struggling with this . You have a job, but you are not happy with the job due to your boss, pay scale, or because you do not see any room for growth. If you are struggling with anyone of these, then you [...]

I recently took some of my family members on a simple trip, dinner, and I just felt a great deal of satisfaction and joy. I believe this stemmed from me seeing their appreciation for every moment in the day. I was also able to take them somewhere different besides their house, and workplace, if [...]
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit. Life [...]
J. Cole: Just To Get By (Freestyle) “Now where’s the ladder|Cause either you gone whine or you climb| I choose the latter (ladder).” Enough with the whining and complaining YPs!
