On The Eve of Graduation

Like always spring is a great time of year. Success, achievement, love, purpose, new beginnings and fresh blooms creates a contagious spirit of excitement in the air. Look around at the newness and smell fresh bloomed flowers once hidden by the frost and hard ground. They've managed to press through the cold, damp layers of dirt and does to be revealed above ground. I love it. Well life, challenges and our own personal pursuits are much like the growth of that newly bloomed flower. We'll share a full article to the graduate but I just wanted to share a sneak preview of some important things to keep close to your heart as you pursue life and dreams with steadfastness.

Okay, here goes pop ups of 4 quick terms
Integrity
Trust
Genuineness
Communication

Coming from someone who was voted most sociable it's important to have a rapport. Here's the other key be honest and genuine, it builds lasting relationships years down the road. Of course Integrity is not just about what you do but what you "don't have to do". In other words, your moral compass is not always in a state of questions. It's more about who you are and positive impact than the CYAs you've got to accumulate over the years.  Now tisk, tisk, don't get all deep. I just want you to be free and exciting about your path for success and the things that give you a good sleep at night.

Effective communication-you can't live without it. It's the arm of assist needed to help you navigate through. Yes, it's your spoken compass. Of course when all these are together it builds trust. You should be interested in developing your trust meter. Here's a measurement, whether you are babysitting the kids or handling great sums of money, the care you put into being honest goes a long way in building confidence.

That's all for now but stay tuned for our post to the graduate!!!!!

Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old. ~ Winston Churchill What's your thoughts on this?  Today it says to me, while you are in the process of thinking of new beginnings let some of the good things from the old help shape the new.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society.
