Amanda and I are down in Florida and it should be no surprise that we’ve come across tons of road side orange stands. Theres hundreds of them. We’ve been making fresh squeezed orange juice everyday. It’s been a lot of fun and brings us to today’s resolution. Making something from scratch.
Whether it’s orange juice or chocolate chip cookies, make it from scratch. What did you make today? Let us know in the comments.
There are times when you need a bit of inspiration.
I watched an inspiring video yesterday, that inspired me to inspire you.
It’s that time of year where commencement speeches start to circulate the Internet. This year there is a particular commencement speech that I think is a must watch. It’s the commencement speech given by Neil Gaiman to 2012 graduating class from The University of the Arts. His advice is inspiring and universal.
I’d like you to watch a video that inspires you today. Below is the commencement speech video from Neil Gaiman. Please share the videos that have inspired you.
Our lives can become a bit repetitive. We usually take the same routes to and from work. Today take a new route on your way home from work.
I was inspired to write this resolution because I keep coming across new roads to explore while we’re on our staycation in Florida. My mind starts to wander, where do these roads go? We’ll be exploring our surroundings and reporting back what we find.
Did you find something new and interesting on your new route home for work? Let me know what you found in the comments.
Do you sometimes find yourself becoming negative for no reason? When something good happens to a friend, do you think about why that good thing is impractical or undeserved? Why do you feel that way? Is there something you’re unhappy with in your own life?
Today, root all of your actions, thoughts and behaviors with good intentions. This will help you form a foundation for the way you feel and think going forward.
Every website has a set of analytics which includes how many people look at the website, how long they pay attention, when they leave, and if they did anything worthwhile (like buy something) while they were there.
Today, think about the analytics of your life. How do people perceive you? Are you the type of person that you expect other people to be? In the last month, how many of your personal goals (big or small) have you accomplished?
Take some time this morning to write down all the things you believe in. These may be very personal beliefs, and theres no need to share them. The next time you feel like your life’s out of balance, refer back your beliefs and see if something doesn’t match with how you’re living your life.
If you own a car, it’s probably pretty important to you. For most, it’s the transportation that drives them to work, where they earn a paycheck, so that they can live their lives. Today, give your car a little TLC. Get an oil change, clean out the interior, and for pete’s sake break out the hose and give it a wash.
It’s finally Friday! Take some time out today to watch, listen or see something funny. When you’re laughing, your not thinking, and everyone deserves a brain break on a Friday!
Set someone up for successes, put someone on to a better method, be a guiding light. Whoever may need or seek your assistance today, influence them for good and try to put them on the right path.
Experience Everything for the First Time (Again)
Today, try to experience everything as if you’ve never done it before. Imagine taking a shower for the first time… drinking coffee for the first time… driving for the first time (yikes!)
By treating everything as if it’s your first time, everything should excite you today!
