You Already Have The Answers Blog Is Moving To Wordpress

Actually, it already has moved. In about a week I'll stop posting here completely.

I haven't completed all the tweeks and twinges, and will probably move the blog one more time, but staying with the Wordpress platform. Your eyes will thank me.

Go ahead and change your feed readers to http://youalreadyhavetheanswers.wordpress.com.

Today’s Quote & Question For 8/11/09

Today’s Quote: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." - King Solomon

My Thoughts: The world is telling you what you need to do. Your friends are telling you what you need to do. But are you listening to what is being said? All the answers to the questions you have in life are right their for you...if you just take a moment to listen.

ANSWERS REMINDER #11: GIVE A FRIEND A HUG

ANSWERS REMINDER #11: GIVE A FRIEND A HUG

It is a medical fact that showing some of the most basic signs of affection can improve your health. Dogs are taken to nursing homes and children's hospitals because just petting a pooch can measurably reduce stress and frustration. You may not be a puppy, but there is something just as simple that you can do.

THIS WEEK'S TIP: Go out of you way to say hi to people you don't get the chance to speak to on a regular basis. Shake the hand of the new person in your office and warmly introduce yourself. Give a good friend a hug. Take a little bit of time out of your day to do some little bitty thing to put a smile on someone's face.

Today’s Quote & Question For 8/10/09

Today’s Quote: "Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you." - Wally 'Famous' Amos

Today’s Question: What image are you projecting to the world?

My Thoughts: Take a moment when you can and take a good look at yourself in the ‘mirror.’ Take a note of what image you see ‘reflecting’ back at you? Is that the same image you are projecting to the outside world? And more importantly, are people seeing through your projected image?

Today’s Quote & Question For 8/9/09

Today’s Quote: "The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason." - T. S. Eliot

Today’s Question: Do others question your motives?

My Thoughts: Are your motives always just? Are you often questioned openly about the true intentions of your actions? People are by nature suspicious, but sometimes you need to keep in mind the exact message you are sending out to the world may not be the exact truth, and the truth is always looking for a way to shine through. Sometimes, you’ve got to question your own motives to make sure you are both projecting and living the same, truthful message.

Today’s Quote & Question For 8/8/09

Today’s Quote: "Be to her virtues very kind. Be to her faults a little blind." - Matthew Prior

Today’s Question: What do you choose to see in other people?

My Thoughts: Everyone has their own faults. Some people are trying to work their way trough a few of them, some people choose to be as they are, but most of these faults are essentially harmless. Assuming that the people you surround yourself with are not showing openly hostile faults, what are the people around you showing as their faults? Actually, two better questions would be, what are the faults you are seeing in these people, and what faults are you not seeing in these people. You get the ultimate choice to tune in and out whatever you are seeing, so just make sure you are making the right choices.

Today’s Quote & Question For 8/7/09

Today’s Quote: "I'd rather work with someone who's good at their job but doesn't like me, than someone who likes me but is a ninny." - Sam Donaldson

Today’s Question: Are you surrounded by the right people?

My Thoughts: Circumstances may place people in you life, but the choice to keep those people around is ultimately up to you. This is done consciencly and unconsciously by the actions you make around these people every day. Are you letting people who are toxic to you get away with there bad actions? Are you pushing away people who are trying to be good to you by not reciprocating actions?

Today’s Quote & Question For 8/6/09

Today’s Quote: "One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." - Andre Gide

Today’s Question: Do you have an adventurer's spirit?

My Thoughts: Taking on a new challenge can often mean putting yourself in harms way. Whether it is facing up to a physical obstacle or attempting a new process for a clerical task, the payoff is essentially the same, but you have to be willing to take a chance and attempt what is unknown to you, or you will never know just how well you could be. Are you willing to step away from safety in pursuit of your next great discovery?
