Positive Tips #15: Admit when you are wrong
December 18, 2011
Sometimes it's hard to admit that you are wrong. There are many situations where you know that you are right and want to go to the ends of the earth just to prove you are right. However, how many times have you engaged in one of these situations and found out you were wrong? Wouldn't things have been a lot easier if you admitted you were wrong sooner in the process? I've found out that although saying you are wrong stings a bit, it gives you a bit of liberation of sorts. What I mean is that it makes...

Positive Tips #14: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
December 20, 2010
Sometimes you go through a day and everything seems to be going well and then all of the sudden you get hit with something that completely derails your day. Perhaps someone had negative feedback for you during a meeting. Maybe you dropped some of your food on the floor. Maybe your boss gives you a little too much feedback. All of these things have the potential of making a good day, a bad one. When you take a look at these things, first think to yourself, are these things really a big thing that...

Positive Tips #13: Take a leisurely drive
December 18, 2010
There's something about taking a spontaneous drive by yourself or with friends that produces positive vibes for you. I can't exactly say what it is, but every single time that I get a calling in the back of my head to go for a drive and I actually go for a drive, I feel 500% better. Maybe it's the feeling that you're letting some of your worries go. Maybe going to a new part of town is exciting and you can discover them easily by driving. Maybe it's the change of scenery that really brightens...

Positive Tips #12: Write a Good Old Fashioned Letter
December 16, 2010
Emails. I see tons and tons of emails every single day in my personal inbox and in my work inbox. Emails are a great thing, a great step in humanity. It lets us stay connected with each other very easily. It's so fast to just type something out, add perhaps a picture or a link and send the electronic pulse on its merry way to your inbox. What's nice about this too is in addition to not taking days to receive, it costs only the electricity needed to send it off. While it's great to get emails from...

Positive Tips #11: Express Yourself
December 14, 2010
There are over 6 billion people on this Earth and that number is constantly growing as technology advances and as we get more advanced in health procedures and improve our quality of life. If you think about it... 6 billion people and there is no one that is like you. Granted, yes you can have identical twins, you can come from the same family and you can feel like you're the same as someone else but the truth is you're not. Realizing this is mindboggling to me when I think about it. 6 billion...

Positive Tips #10: Don’t Feel Entitled. Take Action Instead
December 11, 2010
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.†- Mark Twain How many times have you gone through your life and thought that you really deserved something? I competed so hard and worked so hard, I deserved that prize? I've hit a rough patch of life, the world should balance out and give me something in return. I went to college and paid a lot for my tuition, I deserve a high-paying job. Look at each of those items and maybe...

Positive Tips #9 – Always go back to your passions
December 11, 2010
Being in a new place for only a 6-month period of time, I'm not really able to fully develop a lot of friendships that I normally have. It's because of my personality. It takes time for me to get to know people, get to know my surroundings. It's just how I am. Because of this, I haven't had the ability to really come back to one of my passions: Bowling. It started when I was a little kid. I grew up joining a bowling league at the Naval Air Station bowling alley in Corpus Christi. I bowled there,...
