Maybe a Sign
Out For a Walk The doctor lets me know every visit that I need to get some sun and exercise. I am not a big fan of going to a gym or using that stay at home fitness stuff on the game console. So I occasionally venture outside and go for a walk. The doctor tells me that I need to do those things because in 2003 I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (A.S). Those are big fancy words that say my immune system attacks the soft material between the joints in my spine causing it to fuse together. The doctor and myself know that by sitting around doing nothing I make it worse on myself. Lack of movement makes the joints more stiff and harder to move. The condition is a genetic autoimmune disease, meaning you have to carry the HLA-B27 gene and at some point come in contact with some type of trigger that activates the gene. It usually starts out in the Sacroiliac Joint which is basically your tailbone or the part that joins your hips to your spine. It feels like a lower back ache in the beginning, but during flare ups I just do not know how to describe it. So what does all of that have to do with signs?

Treat Yourself Like a Research Project
How well do you know yourself? REALLY know yourself? In today's society, we rarely stop and allow ourselves to ponder the deep questions ... like "Who am I?" Instead, we are consumed by everything life throws at us, and keep to the surface-level thinking.

Blank Pages
Throughout my life, I’ve collected journals. I love the artistry of a beautifully designed journal awaiting my thoughts and dreams. Many are half filled with quotes of inspiration, ideas and goals. Some journals are blank, waiting for me to be inspired.

Work on yourself
We live in a time where Burger King tells us we can have it our way, the credit companies say we don’t have to wait we can have it now. It is these ideas that has made living today probably the most dangerous of times to live, because it leads to broken relationships, broken businesses and broken dreams.

Understanding Your Current Situation
People who feel a sense of unhappiness about their lives from time to time often have a good idea why they are feeling that way and are able to take some action to eliminate or modify elements of their life in order to get rid of their general feelings of discontent and replace them with happiness.

The Gift Of Awareness
I will openly admit to what is one of my biggest flaws in my life currently, and has unfortunately been for several years also. When antagonized or unfairly criticized by someone, I tend to react very abruptly, and am quick to respond in anger. No one likes to be antagonized or criticized after all, yet I know that in responding with a fiery temper, and reacting with a heap of criticism and verbal abuse in return, I'm only dragging myself down to their level. Sadly, I've been lacking that emotional control needed to resist reacting in such a manner, and one of the very reasons why I have engaged myself in mindset training and strengthening these past couple of years, so I can better resist reacting with such fury. As I said, I know it is a massive flaw of mine, one that I am certainly not proud of, and one that I am desperate to remove from my behaviors. I was never that sort of person in my youth or my early adulthood. I was actually the total opposite. It seems that the turning point to my behavior and attitude came about when I first entered into depression, back in 2010. My depression undoubtedly came from the lack of happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment in my life, caused mainly by my career, but also from associating with people who were in no way beneficial to my mental health. Not only that, I think I grew tired of constantly being the nice guy, whilst allowing everyone just to walk all over me in life. As much as I credit myself for standing up to people now, and defending myself better, the manner in which I respond and react needs to be at a far more mature level than it is.
