Presidential Elections: What now?

This post is in light of the Presidential Elections.

Whether you voted Romney, Obama or didn't vote at all the election is over.  Barak Obama is once again the President of the United States of America.  This isn't the end, or the beginning.  Rather, this is another opportunity for the citizens of the U.S. to come together.  We may not agree completely with all of Obama's views but we do have a duty.  That duty is to support him and guide him to make decisions that will allow our great nation to improve and prosper.  We have another four years of this journey with Obama.  Let's not waste time arguing or being angry but make the best of our current situation.  Get involved!

Sportsmanship goes a long way

Instead of celebrating after winning the Champions League Final, Oliver Kahn went and put his arm around a grieving opponent.  For this act of compassion, Kahn received the Fair Play Award.

Don't let the words of others decide your fate

I'll let this video do all the talking...

Break the Habit!

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." -Aristotle

No matter where your expertise may be, if you strive for excellence then that will become your habit. (which is a pretty good habit to have)

To be inspired is great but to inspire is incredible.

You never know what little extra motivation may inspire those around you.  People are watching and constantly looking at you for an example. Give them a good one.

live life to the fullest...

I am a huge movie person and so I hear a lot of good quotes, some are cheesy yes but some have a really good meaning behind them, one that has always stuck with me is from the movie Kung Fu Panda! it's during the scene where Master Uguay is talking to Master Shifu about how Po is the so called "Dragon Warrior" that is to save the village from Ti Lung the evil tiger... anyways enough background but the quote that is awesome is when Uguay says " yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it is called the present!" live each day as if it is a present, being grateful that we get another day to pursue our dreams because there are many who have not had the same luxury so enjoy it!

Fortune favors the BOLD!

one of the trends I have noticed throughout my life as I look back is that success follows action, I've never achieved anything in my life without pushing myself to act first. NO ONE in the history of the world has accomplished any great feat without first being bold and brave enough to try! two quotes that always remind me of this truth are,
 "you miss 100% of the shots you never take" -Wayne Gretzki
  and then
"be brave. take risks. nothing can substitute experience." -Paulo Coelho

think about that, if William Wallace never took the risks he took in order to become one of the world's most legendary leaders then no one would ever remember his name, with those risks he gained experience, with that experience he was able to help return freedom to an entire country! Fortune favors the BOLD!
