Being a Professional
I was taught the difference between an amateur & and a professional is simple and straight forward. An amateur does it for free, & a professional gets paid to do it. Being a professional & acting like one, however, is less well defined. Anyone can get paid for doing a task or job, but not …

Challenge is Good for the Soul
Challenge is good for the soul. We need challenges in life. They make us better. They teach us about ourselves, and they teach us about others. Challenges hone our abilities & skills.

Thinking Over Overthinking
If there has been anything in my life I am guilty of, it is overthinking. I’m not really a perfectionist, but I do like to get things right. I like to do the job right the first time out. Charging in, taking action, and doing it without considering the best way to accomplish the goal …

Life is busy these days. We all know it. All of us live it. You would be hard pressed to get anyone to even argue the point, really. People have worked hard, long hours since the beginning of time, however, today is filled with more activities to keep up with on a consistent basis. Everyone …

You ever get to that point where you wonder why you are working on a project at all? You pour time, effort, energy & soul into something & it just doesn’t work the way you wanted or expected it to work. You have, in your perspective, a big steaming pile of mediocrity which was intended …
