You Are the Most Important Aspect of Your Life!
They say that you must help others in order to become a better person. Well, I personally think that is as far from the truth as you could possibly get. No one knows your mind, body, or spirit like you do. Do not let someone else fool you into believing that you are not the most important aspect of your life. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that you should ignore loved ones, or let someone die in front of you if you have the means to save them. What I am saying is that life still goes on around you whether or not you act “selfish” or “selfless.”

Perfect Vision, Not
“Perfect vision!” That is what my ophthalmologist said yesterday morning. It is a fact I take pride in. To be two days short of my 71st birthday and not need cheaters to read a menu, or glasses for driving is incredible. Yet, as the day wore on, I became obsessed with wondering why, with perfect vision, I had been blind-sighted on the previous day. It was at the end of my final check out dive for SCUBA certification.

Stop Placing the Blame
When something goes wrong in your life, it is incredibly easy to blame other people for any role that they might have played in it. It can be frustrating and upsetting when things go badly or don’t work out the way that you wanted them to. By no means should that ever mean that you need to start pointing fingers and looking for someone to blame for the wrongs in your life.

Karma Always Wins
Karma always catches up with you. As I have gone through my life, I have found this to be true. There are always consequences for our actions. There will always be changes due to our choices. There is always retribution for our decisions and the things we have done.

Happy Birthday to Me!
For the last two years, I haven't felt like celebrating my birthday at all. When the 20th of September has come around each year, I have not taken the time to thank God for this gift called life; instead, I've pretty much cussed Him out for the burden He has placed on me... I once read this meme that was so relatable. It said, “I hate how you’re just born out of nowhere, forced to go to school and get an education so you can get a job. What if I wanted to be a duck?!”

The Don Draper Success Plan
Don Draper of Mad Men is one of the most memorable characters to fill television screens in a long time. He's been the subject of plenty of essays about American masculinity and the culture of the 1960s. Mad Men has even inspired a college course.

How to Start Living More Intentionally and Mindfully
Ever feel like your life is a huge Nascar Race? When we're very young, we are so good at just living in the moment. We only think of and focus on the toys in front of us. We don't worry about what is to happen in a week or in a year.
