Well, it's been one month to the day since I last made to this blog. A lot has changed since then. Let's see...where should I begin? Oh, yea, I started a new job, I launched my new company (Phase 2 Solutins, LLC) and I was offered and opportunity to be a guest blooger for the Shelby Humane Society’s ornament sale. Yes a lot has been going on and I am just at the point where I can get back to my normal part of my life, writing (blogging). I must tell you all that things have been happening very fast. One day someone will call and ask me to design a website, the next day I get called and offered a job and then the next day another person will call and ask me to design a website. It's been just like that for the past month. And believe me when I tell you all that I am not complaining because this is exactly what I want. I am just glad that I was prepared for all of it. I put myself in a position to be able to handle things if they got hectic. I was told by a good friend of mine that success happens when preparation meets opportunity. Every since he told me this, I have been making sure that I am ahead of things and not just on top of them.
All of this blogging, writing and web desiging is paying off. But only because I prepared myself. I put myself in the position to become what I am becoming...a successful business man. Scratch that...a successful MAN! When know one was looking and while everyone was sleep, I was preparing myself. When all of my friends were hanging out at bars and going to parties, I was preparing myself. You can't sit and wait for things to happen and then get ready. You have to be ready before it ever happens. This is what I have been preaching throughout my blog. And I am one of those people who practice what he preaches. I am not tooting my own horn, but I am excited about what has and is happening to me. Even though everything I am speaking of is on a low scale, it's very HIGH to me because I see beyond today. I see it being bigger than what it is because of the EFFORT I will and have put into it. This will only give me more fuel to keep driving towrds that goal that I have set.
If this doesn't motivate you to get up, get out and get something, I don't know what will. You all have seen me go from jobless to where I am now. You have to take advantage of what you have. God has given you so mant tools and opportunity and you are not using them and that's the reason why you haven't gotten the promotion you want. That's why you haven't gotten that house or car you want. That's why you haven't been able to start that business you wanted to start. It's all because you havn't used what he has given you to get a little closer to what you have been desiring. If you don't know where to begin let me give you a little help. He gave you a mind and the ability to think, use that first and watch what he will do for you! You don't need a lump sum of money. I didn't have it and neither did many of the people who are very successful business owners. All you need are books, which you can read for FREE at Barnes and Noble or check out at the library for FREE and EFFORT, that thing that you use when you really want something, like a pair of shoes, a purse or for the guys, tools or a car. Once you realize how much you can accomplish by reading, you will be amazed. So, get off your tail (that's not what I really wanted to say) and get to getting! I have given you the advice, now it's up to you what you do with it.
P.S. You are the only person holding you back from whatever it is you want!

The Revitalization of my Life-Day 123-Change 52
Well, this morning is yet another awesome morning. I woke up feeling good so I decided to treat myself to breakfast. I'm off so why not. I decided to go to The Egg & I (its in Hoover right across from where Walmart use to be on Hwy 31). I am still here but once I leave, I am headed to Barnes and Noble to work on my articles and novel. Yes it my day off but yet I am still putting in a lot of time and effort to make things happen for myself.
When I heard someone say that when you do something you love its not work, I never imagined I would experience it. And it is so true. I spend a lot of time writing and designing websites and not once do I ever get tired of doing it. I utilize my blackberry to the fullest. I take notes, I write quotes and from time to time I even post to my blog from it. I absolutely love to write. The reason why I am expressing this is because believe it or not I just realized how much I really enjoy writing and being creative (web design). I woke up yesterday morning with this feeling that I just can't describe. It was almost like I was a new person. My desire to write was greater than its ever been. My focus was a whole lot better. Its more to it than just what I am saying but I just can't put it into words.
When I got off work yesterday, I stopped by Bonefish Grill to have a drink to relax myself because I was letting the pressure of getting everything done quickly overwhelm me. Usually when I get like this, I can't write at all. Well,while I was there the bartender said "you look like you have a lot on your mind." I told him that I did and as soon as I said that, I picked up my phone and began writing everything that was on my mind. I ended up writing a poem, an article and my own personal slogan (which I will share later). I did this within the time frame it takes the average person to drink two beers. After I finished the beers, I took off and headed home.
When you feel like you can't get certain things done because of certain circumstances just ask yourself this question,"Can I just drop what I'm doing now and get what I need to get done, done?" If you answer yes to this question, you have no excuse for doing what you want and NEED to do. I could have easily just went home and laid on the couch, watched tv and gone to sleep. But I didn't. I used the time when I was drinking beers to make life better for myself. Use the time that you have to get things done. This might mean cutting the tv off and not watching your favorite show. Now ask your self this question,"Does your favorite show provide any input on getting the things done that NEED to get done according to your life-work load?" The answer to that question is NO. If its not adding, then why is it a must that you watch it over getting things done that NEED to be done? Once you figure this out, you are well on your way to changing your life tremendously!

The Revitalization of my Life-Day 122-Change 51
Woke up this morning feeling refreshed. I had my meditation time but I didn't work out. I plan on running this evening because I have a few things on my plate this morning. The reason why I woke up this morning feeling so refreshed was because of something that happened yesterday evening. While I was at work, a guy, whom went to the same high school with, passed by me and spoke. I didn't think anything of it, bt I did notice that he had this look on his face like he wanted to say something. I went on with assisting one of my customers. He walked by again and this time he just stopped and interupted me and said, "I'm sorry to interupt, but I just have to tell you to keep doing what you do. I read your note on facebook titled, "Stop Lying To Yourself" and it did something to me. I started my own business man and I just wanted to tell you that. Keep writing!" I was floored. He gave me a business card and off he went. I was so excited that I wanted to quit my job right then and go and just write until I couldn't write any more.
If anyone ever wanted to know my purpose for writing, this is it-to help, to inspire and to uplift. Just knowing what I wrote inspired a person enough to get up and start doing something is HUGE and powerful! This is why I am so passionate about putting words on paper or on the computer because I beleive that they can change people for the better. I am getting choked up now just typing it. I never understood when people cried for joy, but now I do. It's like you get so emotional about something that's so good that you can't help but express yourself with a few tears! Below is the note I wrote title Stop Lying To Yourself read it and tell me what you think.
Stop Lying To Yourself
I am sitting in Starbucks doing my usual, writing, when this guy comes buy and starts a conversation with me. We go back and forth talking about the different things we are trying to accomplish. I don't tell too much of what I am trying to do because I am a humble person and I don't want to come off as this "wanna be" type of guy. As we are engaging deeper in this conversation, I tend to notice that everything that he is talking to me about is up in the air. When he tells me about what he is doing, I ask him to show me some of his work and he always said that it was in the works. When he asked me about the things I were involved in, I gave him concrete evidence. I showed him my website and my blog. I also gave him a business card. When the conversation was over, I started thinking. I thought about how most people go through life just like this guy, lying to themselves. This guy knew that he wasn't going to do half of the things that he had mentioned to me. He knew this before he opened his mouth to say the first word to me. I know that everyone wants to be somebody. I know that everyone wants to be that person who does a lot and makes a lot of money doing it. But how can you ever make it lying to yourself?
If a person is lying to themselves to try to make life seem better, they are only hurting themselves because they are surpressing the real them and that can cause problems not only with themselves, but with the people around them. It can cause a marriage to go sour. It can cause friendships to diminsih. If you are not where you want to be in life or are not doing what you want to do in life, please stop lying to yourself about it and start doing something to reach your goal. Being honest might just be the key ingedient to making the first step to achieving your goal. When you talk to someone and be honest with them, they might be able to help you on your way. Lying to them won't warrant help because they will be under the impression that you are already ahead of the game.
Stop lying to yourself and start being honest about what's going on with you. Take the time to be honest and make things happen for the betterment of your life. It's hard for a person to be honest with you when your not honest with yourself.

The Revitalization of my Life-Day 121-Change 50
Once again, I am off to a good start. Even though I did sleep in a few minutes longer, I am still up and at it. Well, I guess today I will make my confession. I haven't been excercising and meditating like I should. I have gotten off track due to the high demand on websites in the past month. I have to gain some type of balance so that I can get back on track. Most of my time has been going to either working on websites or working on my novel. There have been times when I could have worked out but I chose not to because I needed to rest. As I am sitting here typing,I am thinking to myself that there is no excuse for NOT working out or meditating. Truth be told, if I really and truly wanted to get these things done, I would have. Time wasn't a factor because I could have just gotten up earlier to get it done.
I must admit that my schedule is tight. But I know that I can still get it done. And if I can get this done, so can you. Most people talk about finding balance within there lives to get things done. Well, I kind of beleive in finding a balance and then again I kind of don't. There are some things in life that you can balance and then there are some things you can't. This depends on the situation. If you have a lot going on within your life and your family needs you more now than they did before, you are going to give them more of your time and that doesn't balance within the eyes of society, but it does balance in the eyes of those who believe in a higher power (for me God). There is no balance when it comes to us and God. The scale is always either deeply up or deeply down. Every now and then it may balance out but for the most part, it's unbalanced.
You just have to do things and keep trucking. Stop trying to balance your time and make sure that you are putting in enough time with that project or with that person. You have to do what you have to do to get things done and that way, you don't have to worry about balance because if your are getting it done, it's balanced. Instead of worrying about balance, utilize your time wisely. I get up two hours early every morning to post to my blog and work on my book and websites. Some times when I get off work, I will work on my projects, but for the most part I don't. I am at home chilling with my wife. She has my attention when I get home. She has never said to me that I was spending too much time working on any of my projects because I utilize every minute I have. Now do I spend as much time on my projects as I do with my wife, no. That doesn't balance. Some people might read this and think, "hey that's balancing your time." But I think it's a little different.
Utilize your time and stop thinking about making it balance. This will allow you to have more time than you think you have. Trust me I know. I have been married for over a year now and I have completed numerous websites and written numerous poems and hunderds of pages for my novels and not once has my wife complained about me spending too much time on any of this. You might think it's good balance and if you do, that's all good. I just want you to make use of all of your time because it's so precious to those that really enjoy being with you.

The Revitalization of my Life-Day 120-Change 49
Now it's back to the real world. My vacation is over and work here I come! I must say that a week off from work is always good. Even though while I was off, I was still working. But it's a little different when you're working for yourself and you really enjoy what you are doing. I love being creative and designing websites and when I am doing it, it doesn't feel like work at all. Even though sometimes I get frustrated and things don't go according to plan, I still enjoy it! Also, last week was Classic week. I didn't plan on participating in any of the events because I had a few websites to get done and I wanted to utilize my time off. Well, with my hard work and strick schedule, I finished everything by Friday night and I got a chance to let my hair down. I alomost felt a little guilty, but I had to tell myself that everyone needs to take a break every now and then.
While I was out tailgating on Saturday, I got a chance to just reflect on life. I was sitting around thousands of people just having a good time and enjoying good company. I got a chance to see people I hadn't seen in a few years and it just felt good. I took my pen and notepad out there with me to jot down some notes for my novel and articles, but I never wrote one word. I was so taken by the comradery between everyone, until I just wanted to enjoy the memory in my head and not on paper. I figured I could write it down after I experience it. This experience made me realize that we, as a people, can come together and just have a good time without any of the extra (fussing, fighting, hatred, etc.). It's all about mind set. If you place within your mind that you are going to just have a good time and not focus on any of the negative things in life and around you, it can happen. While we were out tailgating, I noticed that was everyones motive. Even when situations occured, it was defused very quickly or ignored.
Even though this event comes only once a year, that doesn't mean that this is the only time we can have this type of comradery with each other. Events don't define our happiness and good moments. We do. We control how we act and who we are. If you participated in the Classic events or any event that caused joy to you, I want you to take this vow today. Take the vow to have the same tenacity and happiness that you had for the event and channel it into your everyday life and do something equivalent just one day a week. If you think this is too much because of your schedule, I will let you off the hook and say once a month for you. If you went out and had a good time with old friends, go out again and have fun with either new friends or existing friends. If you went out and bought and outfit and made sure that you were looking good, don't go out and buy an outfit every week. But you can spruce yourself up and look good for either your spouse, significant other or yourself.
You can't let events or moments define your happiness. Happiness is defined by you. You determine how you feel. Once you get control of this, you will see that life is worth more than you value it at. Take the vow and watch how your life changes in just a few weeks. If you don't believe me, prove me wrong and try it. If it doesn't work, I will buy you a cup of coffee from Starbucks for a week! Sorry, I'm not Oprah...I can't offer an ipad....not YET!!!

The Revitalization of my Life-Day 119-Change 48
WOW! Yesterday was a very fast pace day. I had a few meetings with my website clients and then I had to work on my own website and articles. I was drained. After all of my meetings I wanted to start working on my novel and my articles, but I got overwhelmed with the websites I am working on that I couldn't think striaght. It was like I couldn't get my mind to slow down. I wanted to focus on just one thing and do as much as I could on that one thing and then go to the next thing that was on my list. I just couldn't do it. Around 8pm, I just got in the bed. I felt like i had bitten off more than I could chew. While i was laying there I started thinking about making it and how others made it. I started thinking about those that had none of what I have and made it happen. I'm talking about the Tyler Perry's, Oprah Winfrey's, Harriet Tubman's. All of these people faced the dame issues I'm facing and the only way they made it was by not letting anything stop them.
I immediately got up after all this thinking and jumped in the shower. I just stood there for about 30 minutes and cleared my mind. When my mind was clear, I got out and got on the computer. I starting working on a website and got a good portion of it done. After that, I begin to write and I wrote until I started falling asleep. Now to tell you the truth, when I got in the bed, I couldn't sleep and I just tossed and turned pretty much all night. But I didn't let that stop me this morning either. I knew that I needed to relax so I took myself to breakfast and Egg & I. I sat there and ate peacefully. After that I went to Barnes and Nobles and I am now posting to this blog.
Sometimes things pile up and you feel as if you can't take it, but you have to remember to relax, gather your thoughts and let God take care of what you can't. You have to just do what you can. If you keep pushing, you will find yourself being pushed, not by you, but by God. Just like right now! I am being pushed by God, because if it were up to me, I would still be in the bed telling myself I need to rest because I didn't get any sleep last night. I have every excuse to be at home in the bed right now. I am on vacation. I haven't had any sleep. I have been working very hard on these websites...NO! I refuse to be defeated. I refuse to stand still and let life pass me by. Instead, I am going to get on the same ride as life and ride it out until I can't ride anymore. What are you going to do? Are you going to get on the ride with life, or just let it pass you by?

The Revitalization of my life-Day 118-Change 47
Well, I am very glad to inform you all that I finished a website yesterday but I didn't get to work on my novel very much. And there is a good reason why I didn't. A few weeks ago I received an email from an old high school friend that informed me that her mother was dieing from cancer and the doctor told her that she only had 30 days to live. She asked me if I would write two poems for her. One to put in the obituary and one for her to read at the funeral. After reading the email, I was taken back a little. It really hit home because I lost my mother at a very early age and my great grandmother when I was a teenager and I know how it is. Well, on yesterday she texted me and told me that she had passed away. It really did something to me. I immediately start thinking about what it felt like when my mother and great grandmother passed away. After a few seconds, I jumped on it! I started working on the poems last night because I refused to write them while she was alive.
I played songs that made me think of my mother and great grandmother. I went through about five or six drafts before I finished. She sent me a quick synopsis of what she thought about her mother and some of the things they did. She told me that before they got off the phone with each other they had a saying, "best mother, best daughter." After I had started on the poem, she asked me if I would include this at the end of the poem. But what she didn't know was that I had already done it. I sent her the poems to get her approval and she approved them. Here is one of the poems that I wrote for her...

Best Mother, Best Daughter
Upon faith is where she found her strength
As her love she gave that had no length
Within her soul, there lies the key
To the meaning of giving that’s tranquility
She gladly gave it to set me free
As God did for her and our family
Tears that fall from my eye are not from sorrow
But from the enchantment that she placed upon my tomorrow
Filling my heart with nothing but joy and glee
Giving me the ability to look beyond sight to see
See the beauty of faith that she blessed with love
Not depending on the hands of man but the hands from above
As they touched the soul of a woman that’s oh, so nice
Defeating the battle of the undefeated not once, but twice
Elegance was her scent as she was serenaded with hope
Placing the aroma of strength within the air to help all cope
Deliverance was her song and the tune is carried by grace
Creating a melody within my heart that keeps a smile upon my face
Today, I thank you Lord for all that you did for her
Until next time mom, “Best Mother, Best daughter”
As her love she gave that had no length
Within her soul, there lies the key
To the meaning of giving that’s tranquility
She gladly gave it to set me free
As God did for her and our family
Tears that fall from my eye are not from sorrow
But from the enchantment that she placed upon my tomorrow
Filling my heart with nothing but joy and glee
Giving me the ability to look beyond sight to see
See the beauty of faith that she blessed with love
Not depending on the hands of man but the hands from above
As they touched the soul of a woman that’s oh, so nice
Defeating the battle of the undefeated not once, but twice
Elegance was her scent as she was serenaded with hope
Placing the aroma of strength within the air to help all cope
Deliverance was her song and the tune is carried by grace
Creating a melody within my heart that keeps a smile upon my face
Today, I thank you Lord for all that you did for her
Until next time mom, “Best Mother, Best daughter”
