Have a Little Understanding

A lot of the conflicts that we have in our personal and professional relationships wouldn’t happen if we all (and yes, I am including myself in this statement) had a little more understanding.  Not just understanding what the person is trying to tell you, but understanding the person, as well as the situation fully before forming opinions or jumping to conclusions.  C’mon, can’t we all just get along?!

Find Your Fountain of Youth

Ahhh, to be young. Wait, I am young. Okay… Ahhh, to stay young. Anyway. The desire to be, or stay young runs through all of us, it’s part of that survival instinct. Being young isn’t necessarily and age issue, however. There are certain mindsets, goals, and daily activities that make us young, no matter how old the DMV tries to tell us we are.

Grow Up! (or at least act like it)

There are two types of adults.  Those who are adult by age only, and those who are adult through actions and thought.  The first group doesn’t act like adults, they just happen to be over 18 years of age, the second group may very well be 15, 16, or 17 years old, but have the maturity and thought process that makes them a “mental” adult.  How do you differentiate the two?  Marc and Angel help us out here.

Life’s Little Lessons

Don’t run with scissors.  Don’t leave the front door open, we’re not air conditioning the whole neighborhood.  Pick a channel and leave it there.  Always wear clean underwear.  These are just some of the lessons that stuck with me as a child. Granted, I now make it a habit to jog around the neighborhood that I intentionally air condition every day wearing dirty underwear and holding two pair of scissors; but I digress (oh come on, it’s a JOKE mom, I only carry one pair).  The transition from life without worry to the “real world” can be somewhat daunting.  Wouldn’t it be nice if someone put together a few lessons so we didn’t have to figure them ALL out on our own?

Curiosity Helped The Cat

Because of the nature of my day-job, I have to be a curious individual (Okay, I don’t HAVE to be, but it helps in my line of work, and thankfully, it’s just my nature anyway).  The old saying “curiosity killed the cat” may have a good moral point in there somewhere, but most times it’s just dead wrong.  Think of all the discoveries that have been made simply because someone was curious..
