Strong foundations for lasting relationships
Every relationship has a foundation some are built on clouds, some are built above the ground, and other are built into the ground. Each of which will be effective by the weather. As you can imagine the one in the clouds will blow away with the season, the one above ground will only be there as long as the weather is good, and the one built into the ground is strong and will be a lasting relationship. Like anything each takes time to build and enjoy.
Simple and fun enjoy your relationships no matter what kind they are

Solving mysteries of sadness through kindness
Solving mysteries of sadness through kindness
A sad face
A quiet voice
A weight of a hundred worlds the shoulders
A walk in an endless desert
A climb that walks you backwards
Digging a hole deeper than a hole can go
Lost
Dark
Scared
Fearful
You will never be challenges with more than you can handles. God has blessed you with talents beyond your wildest imagination and you can over come anything that holds you down. If you see one of your fellow brothers or sisters trying to solve a mystery of sadness give them kindness.

A smile
A caring voice
A shoulder to hold onto
A hand to walk with
A climbing partner
A Extra shovel to dig to the otherside
Hope
Light
Laughter
Love
God gives us the talents we must use them. Be the kindness in the lives around you
BE MORE AWESOME!!
LOVE MARCO!

Finding your laughter through your tears
A better day starts with a better way
One day while with a friend,
A list as long as you are tall of what was going wrong, troubles, trials, tribulations and so on showed up during a conversations. As we proceeded further tears started to form and we had full tropical rain storm on our hands. If this wasn't embraced we would have been washed away by the tears. I grabbed on with a big hug and listening further the waterfall of tears came pouring out even harder with snot sniffles, more tears, and than laughing. hahahaa yes laughing! We found laughter through the tears and that day went from dark to light in a matter of moments. It was like the sunshine coming through a big storm cloud. Little by little more laughter more smiles and soon identifying all the troubles that were causing the tears. What seemed without hope, had hope, and a better day began with a better way.
The better way was deciding on what was needed to have a better day. Each of the overwhelming parts that lead up to the big storm are key elements to growing. This growth would be through overcoming fears, mental blocks, and most certainly finding a better way. Having a better day can happen now as you find better ways to all that you are doing. The only part of this whole story is you, if you do not want to you wont, and if you want to you will. You will be the one that has to choose a better way to make your day awesome! It may take finding your laughter through your tears but you can use those tears to grow your garden of excitement! Make the kind of life you want and live it! A better day starts with a better way.
Be More Awesome!

Enhance your conversations and have more fun
Enhance your conversations and have more fun
I believe that if we share what we love with others the world will know more about what we want and we can do more of what we love to do. The most extreme example is sharing what we do with a stranger. This conversation revolves around the : what's new in life? question. This scenario has two new people whom are going to have a conversation for less than 30 seconds.
Typical conversation:
me: What's new in life?
person:Nothing, same old same old.
me: Really? Do you have anything you enjoy doing? like exercising, washing dishes, grenade throwing, trying to fly, ya know fun stuff?
person: they laugh and tend to share something interesting going on in there life or what they love to do.
The conversation break down:
The typical response
The response "nothing same old same old" is a deflection response or a simple curtesy response to the questionnaire. The reason for this is culturally we respond in such a way due to our fast pace lives. Depending on the size city you live in, this response can be anywhere from no response at all to full day worth the laughter. To enhance this conversation so that it is more fun. A fun response must be used.
The way to get a fun response
For the sake of this example a follow up question was used to enhance the conversation: "Really? Do you have anything you enjoy doing? like exercising, washing dishes, grenade throwing, trying to fly, ya know fun stuff?" by making a list of real and fun things. Peoples minds are than stimulated to have a different response. Laughter or a smile will start the response and than soon follow a short or long answer. As a result you can determine at this point where the conversation will go. In most cases we will see the person respond with there own kind of question that you will have to answer. As a result a fun conversation can happen in some cases in less than 30 seconds.
Over all remember to enhance the social scenarios around you by improving your conversations with something fun in your follow up question. In the example above this conversation is less than 30 seconds and creates a more genuine interest in a persons life. As we share what we love with others the world will know more about what we want and we can do more of what we love to do. As a result we will have one more reason to smile in our day and enjoy our lives. So be sure to enjoy the people around you and have as much fun as possible. You never know who your going to meet.
Be more awesome

Breaking through a wall built by mental blocks
Breaking through a wall built by mental blocks
Simply break through it.
Is it really that simple? Ultimately we are the ones who control our lives, our decisions we make, and what it is we are going to do on our path to success. The choices we are making directly reflect what we believe and do not believe. If you believe you can break through that wall than you will. If you do not believe you will break through that wall you will not. Take little steps in the beginning and as you move forward so will everything you want to do. :) See all it took was moving forward and simply breaking through the mental blocks. As a result the mental blocks become stepping stone on your path to success. Be well, have fun, and Be you!!
Have a beautiful day

Force fields, Conversations with strangers, and Tree Hugger Sandwiches
Force fields, Conversations with strangers, and Tree Hugger Sandwiches
Preface
Today I have been in and out of meetings with friends helping them to become as awesome as they can be. Conversations in fitness, eating, and reliv nutrition. Where moment after moment we tweeked there lifestyles to enjoy what it is they are doing. Being able to help friends and people is what I love the most in life. So as morning appointments finished up and lunch rapidly approached I had to find something. In observance of lent, I don't eat meat on friday's so vegetarian is on my list. What better of a place to find such good food than at Founder's Brewery I thought.
I gave a call and as they answered I greeted them with "Hello Champion of Founders!"
On the other side the voice went into a great deal of laughter relaying what I announced through the phone. As he came back to the phone laughing.
I followed up with "do you have anything vegetarian on your menu?"
He replied most certainly! See you soon I said.
What will you be wearing so I can help you when you get here?
I replied a bright electric yellow jacket and red tie. 5 minutes later I arrived!
As I walked into this large lunch atmosphere of people enjoying micro brewed beer, delicious food, and the people they were with, I was greeted with a menu and the recommendation of The Tree Hugger. Awesome sign me up! Although I was going to be leaving soon he insisted I sit at bar between his favorite clients which were two gentleman. Sound great.
Theory of forcefields before a conversation can begin:
When sitting down there are always massive force fields that go up like in star trek they put up deflector shields to protect their star ships. Well in this case we do the same thing when we are around people the only difference is, no one actually wants to have force fields up. We as creatures are social creatures, its our instinct that gives us our awareness of any situation. In the case with strangers, we must be realistic about our environment, the atmosphere, who we are with, what we are doing, and so. In this case I am in the middle of a big brewery between an old man and a young man. That to my knowledge is the hosts favorite customers. Regardless we an either have force fields up or force fields down.
The Conversations with Strangers the old man and young man:
As I saddled into my seat shoulder to shoulder I said, with a big smile good afternoon gentleman how are we all doing today!? No response. No response? Don't worry their force fields were up. So as I sat down I turned to the young man and said how was your morning? His reply, Very good thank you. silent pause. I turned to the old man how was your morning? He starts laughing, its been good I have been here. The bar tender came over to get my to go order for the Tree Hugger Sandwich. Again more silence. I turned to the young man and said , so what have you been up to this fine day. His reply with force fields lowering, I was at hop cat brewery and now here. Fantastic I replied. and as the silence would soon happen the old man said how was your morning? hahaha fantastic conversation begins! I went on to laugh sharing that I had helped my friends this morning in fitness and health and had a blast. I proceeded to share that I was getting lunch and off to my next meeting. The old man smiled proceeded to share with me how he loved playing tennis and how he gets tennis elbow when he plays with his daughter, the young man smiled as he listened. More and more conversation with laughter and as my food arrived it was time for me to go. I wished them an amazing day and off I went eating the most amazing vegetarian sandwich I have ever eaten called the Tree Hugger from Founder's Brewery.
As I walked in the rain eating, I kept laughing as life is absolutely beautiful when you take time to enjoy what ever it is your doing and the people in it.
Have an amazing day

How do you do what you Love to do?
A question I received the other day was "how do you do what you love to do?" They went on to explained they find themselves "Overwhelmed and Ready to Go all at the same time" The biggest challenge was overcoming getting started because it was one of the scariest parts to begin. how do you begin than? Some simple solutions to a common issue like this is the following
- Know why you are doing what you love to do.
When you have the reason why you are doing what you love. The rest of the world including yourself will have answer when they ask. By knowing why you are doing something it will become an inextinguishable fire inside of you that just keeps burning.
- Do it! Begin doing what you love to do.
You have to just start doing what you love to do. The rest will fall into place. Just like anything it is scary at first but from there you will have the ability to grow and develop what you love doing.
- Be determined so that you adjust accordingly to the rise and fall of your journey
- Surround yourself in a positive environment
These are some of my experiences over the years and only a few of many suggestion that will help encourage you to do what you love to do. Even though you may be overwhelmed and ready to go. You are really ready to go and will want to start doing as soon as possible. No matter what you choose always enjoy every bit of the excitement!!
What do you love to do?
Do what you love to do
