The Power of the Laugh
I had a bully in the fifth grade that loved to pick on me. On more than one occasion I came home from school in a bad mood, falling to the couch, arms folded with a scowl on my face. “What’s wrong with you?” My mother had a way of not making a big deal out of anything. But she had a real pension for getting back at anyone that might dish out something she felt she didn’t deserve. And her revenge mode trickled down to her children and I could see her wheels turning.

What am I doing with my life? Is a question I feel like I ask myself repeatedly. Especially, when I have a lot on my mind. This question arises especially when I feel like I am wasting time. Time is the greatest commodity, and its taken for granted. Why do I waste time, when I can invest it. Well how do I invest in this? Some, choose to store their life in themselves. Others, decide to stock their lives in those around them. Either way, seconds are spent, and are necessary. On the other hand, there are people who just flat out do not care. Those are the people that waste their goods. Still the question persists, how am I to be a good steward of my time? Simple answer, take the time to take time with those that one encounters in their everyday. What do I mean by encounters? I mean those who one will cross paths with. On my first job in a corporation. I was taught to greet everyone in a ten feet radius. Man, at times this was annoying, and even inconvenient to accomplish. Even though it was, I still did my best to make sure, that everyone of those customers, that I came across, felt welcomed in the store. This is the type of determination that I feel everyone of us should have for the people that we come within contact of. To treat them as we would want to be treated. Man, what a world we would live in. If we spent the time to take time for others. Looking for every opportunity that we would be needed. Being that person that people can rely on to always be there for them. Again, I ask what am I doing with my life? Am I spending it, or is it sadly wasting away? Am I investing it in myself, so that I can in return share it with others? Am I learning from my mistakes to enrich my own life, and the life of those around me? Am I learning new things about life everyday? Am I successful, and what is the definition of success to me? Is that even realistic, and a fair expectation of me? What season of life am I in currently? Am I going through this life without purpose? What is my purpose, my reason to live life? For me, its to serve others needs. Which is why I do not like to be needy. However, I think that all of us need someone. All of us, were made with the want to be needed. How does this have anything to do with time? Well, I believe that all of these questions help me spend my time instead of wasting it. For, if we have a mission, then we have a reason to live. We all do not have the same assignment. Neither, do we all have the same dreams or vision. However, if we have one or all these things. Then we have purpose in our every day. Therefore, we can do the things that I have mentioned. Which would help our lives have meaning. Then hopefully, with our last breath we would be able to say that we lived our best life. That is my goal to live life to the fullest. Then I will be able to have peace with myself and those that will carry my legacy after I am gone. Kindness is more infectious than the damage of hate. I would rather be grateful in my last days. Instead of regretting that time that I had.

Coming Out The Closet
My friends, I am sure by now you are aware, I do a ton of thinking. Even more now than normal, as I have become more familiar with a little feature them smart phones called “DO NOT DISTURB” or as I like to think of it as the “YOU SHALL HAVE PEACE” feature.

Out of the Shell
For as long as I can remember I have tried to make everyone happy with how I look, speak, and act. My dad and I moved around a lot, and not for any particular reason. From kindergarten through high school, I changed schools 6 times, I was pretty good at being able to adjust myself according to the “standards” my new school and town had in mind when I moved.

The Power within!
Each one of us wants high happiness index, peace of mind, mature character and success in life but most of us do not really strive to achieve these goals. Out of us who struggle for their goals a very few are able to make things happen. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is the difference between the level of Inner Power both the categories posses in their brains and the level of Power they exert to achieve what they want to achieve. In my opinion, the Inner Powers consist of following seven categories and the intellectuals who possess all these mental muscles can accomplish a great deal of victories in most of the fields of life:

Be Grateful For Life Today to Celebrate a Birthday Tomorrow
Our Expectations A few years ago, on September 8, I attended two events. The first one during the day was a memorial service/celebration of life. The second one during the evening was a birthday celebratåion. I'm sure you probably think the memorial service was an older person, while the birthday was for a younger one. That's okay because it is natural to feel this way.

Happiness is Bike Shaped
My friends often tease me that I never smile in the photos (selfies) I take when I am out on my bike. I don’t know why my face refuses to crack a smile because, for me, I’m at my happiest when I’m hitting the open road on my bike. In fact, I’d go as far as saying, happiness for me is definitely bike shaped.
