"livin my life like its golden"

a friend posted this on facebook and I watched it shortly after publishing my last post.  Its always a good day for some Jill Scott... especially on a Monday!  Enjoy.

moving forward

forward motion is inevitable. We learn that from newton or someone equally as smart (or lucky, depending on your scientific politics). On one hand this is a good thing cause hey, my life is going to keep moving forward regardless of what I do. But on the other hand OMG!! my life is going to keep moving forward REGARDLESS of what I do---or don't do. So the question I have is....am I moving forward with life or because of it? I am not sure that the answer isn't all of the above. And I am not sure that is a bad thing. There are times when I am moving right along with what has been planned for me and others when life is pulling me along by my hair---- and each of those experiences have made me who I am---the good, bad and mediocre. So I return to my original hypothesis of maximizing relationships and experiences to increase my overall lifetime value. Life is going to happen in spite of me.... I am going to make it worth reading about.

refining resolutions

As many people do with the start of the new year I was recently pondering what about myself or my life I would like to change in 2011. So being the scholarly person I am (geek) I started by looking up the word resolution in the dictionary (iPhone app). Right between the definitions of resulting state and the solution was optics or resolving power. So to make a boring story short the definition of resolving power made me change my perspective on resolutions (Dictionary.com). What if instead of looking at all the bad that I want to change I started refining the details and focused on making the good better? If I know relationships and experiences are what increases my lifetime value then why not focus on the positive relationships and experiences and make them better? It seems like such a simple and logical thought....
