You Can Get There From Here...
But first you've got to raise your standards.I know at some point you had big dreams. You felt and believed that you were going to change the world in some significant way. Make things better, safer for our kids. Something.You knew deep down that you had a special gift that no one else has.You know what, come a little closer I want to make sure you hear this--You did have a special gift. And...
you still do! The gift that you were so sure you had didn't leave you, you left it.Oh, I know the drill. Your goals and dreams have taken a back seat to trying to scratch out a living. They've become buried in the daily struggles and frustrations of life. So much so that now you don't even think much about achieving your goals and living your dreams. It's all you can do to get to the end of the week.
Life has become nothing more than a struggle for survival to the next crisis.Well kids I'm here to tell you, there's more to Life than just surviving it.If you're not either currently living your dreams or feel absolutely certain about the path you're on leading to the achievement of your goals and dreams here's why. Don't take this personally, or do take it personally, either way what it boils down to is your standards for what you EXPECT are too low. One of life's truisms is that we absolutely get what we expect to get. Set your personal standards on average and that's exactly what you, everyone, and everything around you will be. On the other hand (and yes, the choice is yours) be the kind of person who insists on above average EVERYTHING and you'll find yourself living in an above average environment.Oh and that gift that you left somewhere back there? It's still right there waiting for you to pick it up.
But first you gotta? Raise your standards.Thanks for stopping in.Live some. Love some. Learn some. Everyday.C....

Terrible At Choosing Gifts?
Need help with gifts? Not everyone is good at choosing them. But there's more to gift giving than getting gift ideas from someone else.This is why we'd like to share our gift giving philosophy: Focus on "The Who". No, no, no... not the band. Don't go giving someone a "the who" t-shirt.
(Unless, of course, they are a fan of Pete Townhsend.) What we mean is... who is the recipient? Who are you giving to? And we don't mean their name. You need to know about this person. You can't give a great gift without knowing that. It's helpful to have a general idea of what they like, and better to know some specifics details about their life and personality.
It's also useful to know what they dislike (to avoid the "wrong" gift). For your own, self-made help with gifts, ask yourself: Where do they work? Do they like what they do for a living? How do they spend their day? Their night? Their free time? Do they have any hobbies? Where do they live? What kind of car do they drive? Are they...

The Pressure of Their World (for Introverts)
Faith Burgess is a bright and charming stay-at-home mom. She has a toddler, Joshua. Faith is an introvert and so is her three year old son. I asked Faith to try and put into words what it was like to be an introvert so I could help get the idea across to my readers. This is the story she told me.My husband has an uncle who is clearly an introvert.
I've heard him called "quirky", "cold and humorless", "reclusive" and "a strange bird". He married into our very large family and has been dragged to every family gathering for nearly 50 years ? always sitting off by himself reading a book or watching TV ? never talking to anyone while everybody else socializes, eats and plays games.Last year, I drew his name for the Christmas gift exchange and was stymied about what he'd like. The family members who had all drawn his name in previous years laughed pityingly. They informed me that he wants the same thing every year, white undershirts and gray dress-shirts. I got him the nicest ones I...

Here are some things to take into mind before buying a gift for a Dad.1) Find out their favorite sport or favorite sports team always helps in making a decision.2) The sport's fan size for apparel or headwear is very Important.

It also builds team spirit. 4) What type of clothes they normally like (example) Don't buy a sweater of a team if the sports fan don't wear sweaters. Get Him a hat instead.
