Don't Carry The Load...

A forgiving heart is much better than a heavy heart. Why carry an unnecessary load when you don't have to.

Are You The One!

The one who constantly complains never sees the good in anything and as a result continuously blocks their blessings.

Open Up Your Heart!

Open up your heart to forgive those you truly want to love with all your heart. To hold grudges and carry a heavy heart is only blocking your blessings as well as the love you deserve in return.

Surround Yourself With Blessings...

Surround yourself with those that hold you to a higher standard. The only way to feel and be blessed is to be a blessing to those around you. As my friend and Celebration of Life supporter Patti Labelle says, "When you've been blessed, it feels like heaven"!

Present Blessing...

Don't look past the present blessings you have in front of you. The more we strive for greatness and success the more we will experience more blessings. But to enjoy them one day at a time and while we can is what is most important.

Good-bye To 2009...

Todays Keys To Success...Never allow the insecurity of others to dim your light. If you have to fall back for others to feel better about themselves you're blocking your own blessings. So be careful who you consider a friend if they are stopping you from growing in 2010!

The Good & The Bad...

Todays Keys To Success...Never be afraid to grow when life is good or in the times of adversity. Be grateful and appreciative of the best and worst of times. You deserve the good and learn from the bad. Never over-celebrate your blessings and never walk out on yourself when times are bad.

What A Difference A Year Can Make...

Happy New Year! What makes a new year happy? I guess that all depends on the individual and what his or her mind is programmed to believe. Money, Power, Respect...? Family, Health, Happines...? Some might agree the latter of the bunch is not as exciting as the first three. You can have it all if you focus properly. Having it all means have a blessed and balanced life and in return a great and happy new year for the whole year.

I enter 2009 with another notch on my belt. I am a son, a brother, a best friend, a husband and now a father. All are important to me but none more important than being a father to a young man that I pray will be all of these things one day as well. I hope and pray that I live long enough to witness every one of them come true.

He is such an inspiration that it gives me so much more meaning to life. Something deep inside of you wants to be kind so that others may be kind to you and those you love. I want him to understand the same things. In life it's not just who you know but who knows you. Be kind to others and live good with others for at the end of the day when the money, power and respect have no say in the nursing home...all you have are memories of those who helped make the journey a blessing.

Be good to yourself and to others. We don't know when our time may be up or when the good Lord may need us to do work directly with him so make every moment count.

Happy New Year!

Man, Isn't Life Funny...?

Thinking back to that morning the towers were hit was somewhat of a dream. I hesitated to write this on the anniversary of the date but still felt the need to share how life can be funny. That Friday night before the tragic events I went to Boston to attend an affair given by some friends. The party was held at the Hotel in which the terrorists stayed before they so-called hijacked the planes. On Monday night I hung out at the Soul Cafe, NYC and drove by the Twin Towers before heading home to Connecticut to get a few hours of rest before heading into work.

That Tuesday Morning I sat at my desk when the events took place. I heard about the first plane and thought....what kind of craziness is this? At that time who would have known the second plane would have been making it's way to follow. I wanted to stay the night and take the day off but decided against it. To learn I was in Boston and then in New York where I could have potentially been harmed...Man, Isn't Life Funny?

Every day we live to see is a blessing. Live well with those close to you as tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

My heart and prayers continue to go out to the families and friends of all the victims and service men that lost or gave their lives in the devastating events.

This Is Your Season...Step Your Game Up!

Words Of Encouragement...

The words that come out of your mouth provide the environment you create around yourself. Be sure that when you speak that positive and encouraging words are being shared. Too often we discourage ourselves and others by what we say..."You'll never make it", "Go get a real job", "Stick to what you know best"...but what if what you know best is not your passion?

How about saying..."You can do whatever your heart desires", "I can see you being successful at that" or just simply..."I'm praying that it will all work out for you and I support whatever it is you wanna do". There are times we need motivation and the only way to receive words of encouragement is to give those same words to someone who needs them just as bad as you do. How would things be if we all supported one another and kept a positive outlook on what it is we want to accomplish? The windows of opportunities and blessings would be wide open.

Please take the time as often as you can, if not everyday, to give someone a positive word of encouragement. Take the time out to let someone know they are doing good and to keep up the good work. Let someone know that you are proud of them. This type of positive reinforcement is very important and necessary. Watch it spread and you'll see love spread as well. I want you to walk away from this blog with the understanding that "Love Is A Lifestyle"!

Keep doing what you are doing and making your dreams come true. The only way to predict the future is to create it. Keep your head up and a smile on your face. This is your season, so step your game up.
