We're all saying it, "I'm so consumed." Breaking it down has shown me that being consumed leads to taking notes which leads to no longer depending on our memory. I call it laziness.

An honest question, is it all about you or the foundation of the people? Ways you can look at where you presently stand. Being happy by yourself or always grouping together.

Getting caught up in your what if... We're all guilty of asking what if?  It gets in the way of your success and or it serves as a great protection.  What if?  

Creativity is a huge tool on our paths of success. Because of demand as well as multi tasking, creative exhaustion has leveled a lot of great projects and dreams. How can we get beyond those empty moments and celebrate our gift to create?

We're stalling ourselves by putting too much attention on things that don't matter and if they did they're weighed down by a decision to continue living in the past.

We all have issues. Many of them get in the way of personal growth or capturing a goal. In essence we are a stone in the middle of our flow. How do we break free of it? What else is hidden in our flow that's knocking us to the side or giving up hope of locate the ocean?

I grew up in a bowling alley. The family loved to throw the rock. To this day I hear my mother's voice "Son you need to slow down and follow through." Little did I know it wasn't just about bowling. Life in general needs to be slowed down and followed through. Our hearts and heads are consumed with too much information with even more knocking on your front door. Does thinking too much come across as moodiness? Slow down and follow through.

Engaging with a conversation requires the entire self. For countless reasons we have become this generation of half listeners. Regaining control of your participation in the progress calls for theater of the mind. To envision yourself as being an important part of the shared message. Half listening leads to assumption and or I think I heard it this way. From business meetings to neighborhood football watching, theater of the mind keeps you on the field of truly being engaged.

Do I believe people are happy to see me? No. They're happy that I see them. Learning to recognize people first is a great community builder. We're all locked up and lost in a world completely built by our inner core of doubt fear shame and guilt. Step free of it by knowing you're going to recognize someone first.
