believe and it will happen.

I am not one to push any one to go to school or to do anything that they don't want to or don't believe is in thier best interest, But I do believe that if you want something you have to work for it.
To give an example. There are many people that want to be in better shape. So they buy a gym membership go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week and then when they don't see a big diffrence in one or two months they give up. This is where an education can come in handy. Not because it teaches you to lift weights, but because you realize that it takes a good solid 6 weeks to start to strengthen muscle.
Back to my thoughts though. This morning I got to thinking. (I do my best thinking in the shower.) But there are so many things we should and can do in our lives to get us what we want. Like sitting up straight in our seat. I am a big time sloucher myself. But sitting up straight makes our body work harder. Our abs tighten up, our back muscles flex,and our shoulders pull back. All of this makes out body wake up. Gets our blood flowing and then we finish what ever project we are working on much faster.
But I don't think that is the only benefit. Because our abs are flexed they get a little more of a work out. We can actually make this even better if we flex our stomach off and on threw out the day. a basic tighten and release for about 5 or 10 min every hour, not including breaks. Where I believe we will see these benefits is anytime we get up and walk,jog, or run.
But this is not just a health benefit. It is also a mood booster. your abs are tighter you stand taller. making you more attractive, you feel more confident and your energy is higher. it's the basic thought of better shape better attitude. Butt sagging too much? to a few cheek squeezes during the day and no one will no the better since your sitting anyway. think your shoulders slouch too much? sit up straight and pull them back a little. people will just think your into your work.
This will hopefully get to the point where you will look in the mirror like we all do. But instead of thinking I need to go to the gym more. you will just figure out a better way to stand or sit while doing your work. all while training your muscles to do what you want them to do.
Finally to finish this off. we have all heard a saying like "Fake it untill you make it" or "Believe and it will happen" These can be true. want to make more money. put a toe in the water and let your imagination fly you will make more money doing what you love than anyother way because you will work harder on it and that will make you better at it faster and you will gain alot of expierience along the way.

Struggles with life

Lately I have been feeling like I just can't keep up with everything going on in my life. I have work, my family, my friends, and my girlfriend. I think the only two I have paid attention too is the first and the last on that list.
My youngest sister is haveing a little boy with in the month. But when people ask me her due date I have no clue. If I don't live with my friends I am having a hard time keeping in touch. Especially my best friend who now lives in florida basically on the other side of the country but some days seems on the other side of the world because of it.
But then the things I am keeping in touch with the most are my girlfriend and my work. I don't mind my girl but my work is too much for too little. I love my job though, and it gives me so much more variety than I have had in the past at other jobs in this field or others.
Maybe one day I will be able to catch up but right now it just feels like when I get one thing done I am handed another 10 things to do.
