It's HEADHUNTER time

I've never used a Headhunting search before trying to gain employment..but this one...fell into my lap. I have hope. I am looking for full time employment in Kalamazoo Michigan so my family can be together again. My spouse moved 2 weeks ago, and it is REALLY upsetting 2 of my kids. The other, My semi-goth Asperger boy--not so much.
I love the misson/value statement of this agency. Let's hope it works!!

About Van Popering, McLogan Executive Search, Inc.

4. Teamwork: Cooperation and shared goals among clients and ourselves optimizes performance.

Um...Yah...some items were changed to aid in my positive imagery! "I CHOOSE HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS"...

From one of the motivation emails I get:

Triumphing over negative thoughts:
Negative thought processes ARE negative affirmations.
They use the VERY same processes that Positive Affirmations use, except they enforce feelings and images that deter us from being at Peace.

Breaking the cycle takes time.

Be Patient and Gentle with yourself. Set long term goals. And be persistent! Remember to Stretch, Laugh and be Unshakable!

Whenever you have a thought that disturbs your peace of mind, or makes you feel down, shout “Cancel! Cancel! Cancel!”. Immediately replace your disturbing thought with your Positive Affirmation. Visualize Bright Images and Feel the Glow Sparkling Light Energy flowing into and through your body.

There IS a difference between “grieving” and negativity. When you lose someone you love, there is a natural grieving process that must be gone through. Do not deny yourself your expression of grief.

If you find that your grief is too deep to endure, make sure you speak to a Rabbi, Priest, Counselor or Friends.

There comes a time, however, that you need to move on if your grief turns into negativity. If we examine negativity, we see that it utilizes the VERY same process as Positive Affirmations, except in the reverse!

Only when you have the Resolve and Determination to lead a Happier and more Positive life, will you be Naturally inclined to use the 3-fold Healing Process of Positive Affirmations. You cannot “force” yourself to be Happy. However, you CAN choose to foster Happiness. And when you make this Choice, you can Reinforce and Invigorate the process with Healing and Positive Affirmations. Remember~ Affirm the Good, Visualize Luminous Images and Feel Sparkling Rays of Strength and Courage fill your Being! You can do it!

If I were writing a motivational newsletter

When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself. Suzuki, Shunryu









What's the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small.
Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately,
I feel like I don't give a shit.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration never hard to break it.
Situation never what you want it to be.

What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to break.
It's all just a waste of time in the end.
I don't care so why should I even pretend.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration never hard to break it.
Situation never what you want it.

Nothing's new, everything's the same.
It keeps on dragging me down, it's getting kind of lame.
I'm falling further behind, there's nothing to explain.
No matter what you say nothing's gonna change my mind.

Can't depend on doubt until the end.
It seems like leaving friends has become this years trend
and though I can't pretend, a Friend would be this way
It's not the same but who's to blame,
For all those stupid things I never said.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration never hard to break it.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration
Situation never what you want it to be.

Never what you want it to be.
Never what you want it to be.

Running Blind

I used to work at the Blind school, and never made it one time around the track,with my fingers in the metal loop on the guide wire without opening my eyes...now I feel like...I'm running blind...watching my life wave me goodbye..

Running Blind Lyrics
Artist(Band):Godsmack

Can’t find the answers
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Promises have been turned to lies
Can’t even be honest inside
I'm running backwards
Watching my life wave me goodbye

Running blind
I’m running blind
Somebody help me see I’m running blind

Searching for nothing
Wondering if I’ll change
I’m trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn’t need anyone by my side
I'm running backwards
With broken wings I know I’ll die

Running blind
I’m running blind
Somebody help me see I’m running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

I can’t find the answers
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
I’m running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

Don't Aim for Perfection!

I like Mike Litman a lot. He is one motivational guy I read.
His take on things is JUST GET STARTED!!
Don't AIM for perfection--you will fail. START first, then improve! If you Fail to start, you can NEVER improve! Mike says, "You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.You can accomplish so much more than you are right now.
Give 1% more action and energy to what you’re doing."

I like this a lot.
WHY? Because...it gives me hope. I know that sounds weird, but I got the same sort of advice from "Flylady.net". Her advice is similar..."Good enough is great". Her idea of just doing something for 15 minutes is WONDERFUL! Why? It GETS YOU STARTED!! She helped me get organized by simply using a calendar. I was forever forgetting appointments, (and did last week because I hadn't looked at my calendar!). SIMPLE great advice.
Do something Get started. It doesn't have to be perfect. Aim to get started, not complete it.

GET READY, SET....START!!! Let me know what it is!

Lightening, Tornados, OH MY

Tuesday Post 15 min to midnight, am posting now as we have Tornado warnings and don't know if we'll have electricity tomorrow!
1" hail in Mt. Pleasant!! 58 degrees in Mid Michigan On JANUARY 6th!! How bizarre is that!! Craig at Puntabulous may not have to shovel my driveway after all--its all melting!!

Seeds Of Life . . .

Two seeds lay side by side in the fertile spring soil……
The first seed said; I want to grow! I want to send my roots in the soil beneath me, and thrust my sprouts through the earth’s crust above me….I want to unfurl my tender buds like banners to announce the arrival of spring…I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals.
And so she grew……


The second seed said; I am afraid if I send my roots into the ground below..I don't know what I will encounter in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me I may damage my delicate sprouts…what if I let my buds open and a snail tries to eat them? And if I were to open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No, it is much better for me to wait until it is safe.
And so she waited….
A yard hen scratching around in the early spring ground for food found the waiting seed and promptly ate it.
~ Unknown

MORAL OF THE STORY… Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Brian McClaren, looking over 2007, a GREAT read

http://www.brianmclaren.net/archives/news/reflections-on-2007.html

Just a little taste:
"I want my arms and hands to be open toward liberals and conservatives, mainliners and Evangelicals, Catholics and Protestants and Orthodox, gay-affirming and gay-accepting-but-not-affirming, Republicans and Democrats. I want to look for common ground and focus on Jesus, the center point who holds all things together for us. I want to see difference as diversity rather than division, and as opportunity rather than threat. I want to show the same respect to people who hold different opinions as I would want them to show to me. Of course I’ll fail at this at times, but I hope I never abandon this commitment as my ideal and goal."

My life.....

"I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse
and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness
and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me."
-Anna Quindlen

My New Favorite Website

http://www.thelugeman.com/leadership-quotes.htm

"I've never met a person, I don't care what his condition, in whom I could not see possibilities. I don't care how much a man may consider himself a failure, I believe in him, for he can change the thing that is wrong in his life anytime he is prepared and ready to do it. Whenever he develops the desire, he can take away from his life the thing that is defeating it. The capacity for reformation and change lies within."

-- Rev. Dr. Preston Bradley



"Success is something you attract by the person you become."

-- Jim Roan


"We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend."

-- Robert Louis Stevenson


"People do not lack strength; they lack will."

-- Victor Hugo



"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity."

-- Earl Nightingale


Success is a journey, not a destination. It requires constant effort, vigilance and reevaluation.

-- Mark Twain



"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."

-- William James
