a Thought Moment
Free your mind
We are creating our lives with our thoughts. The pessimist, the optimist, the free spirits, we’re all creating the situations and occurrences of our day to day lives with each thought. The admissions of stress, the invitations to despair, the unconscious submission to “impossibilities” are self imposed prisons. We attrac...t whatever we choose to give our attention to, whether it’s wanted or unwanted. We have to work on changing our thoughts into a more positive direction. When a negative thought enters our mind, we have to catch it, stop ourselves, and turn it into something positive. Simple practices like this can reposition us and change our lives around. We flirt with frustrations and party with pity just to get nowhere. Instead of being the victim in our lives, and letting things happen to us, we have to realize that it is us and us alone that are responsible for what happens in OUR lives. Free your mind and the rest will follow....

What you know vs. What they say”
If you aren’t willing to do what it takes to get where you need to go then do as most statues and stand still alone. Don’t judge those changing and making sacrifices to get to what they know they deserve. You don’t have to like it, you may not even approve, just care enough to respect it. There are two types of criticism, constructive and destructive; life is tearing enough people down, be the person who builds people up. And to those being judged, understand that you can be happy without people being happy for you, so stop looking for approval. Opinions are fickle, it’s like everybody telling you to stop wasting money playing the lottery but commending your persistence when you hit the jackpot. Insight is amazing but intuition is divine, so trust your instincts because it’s the part of you that won’t allow you to lose. Speak life to those around you, smile at a stranger, laugh with a co-worker. Take a position of power and make your environment respond to you instead of being influenced by your environment. We shouldn’t judge people who are trying to live better or those who are chasing their dreams, we may not condone it but we can at least be humble enough not to condemn it. Happiness is fitting the frame of who you really are, not the image of who you are to others, go get what you know regardless of what they say

Nothing ever worth having will just be given to you. Enduring the fight & weathering the storm, strengthens you. Mistakes are great to make because they teach you what to do right the second time around. We all are entitled to second chances in life, those chances just may not be with the one you made the mistake with, but someone will come along & appreciate you recognizing the errors & mistakes and correcting them ..#Truth
Patience
A Thought on Patience
If something is really worth it to you; you’ll be willing to wait for it. Though people treat patience like it’s a past time, it’s still a priceless virtue. But these days it seems like patience takes the backseat to convenience. Nobody is willing to wait for anything anymore. If it doesn’t come perfect and doesn’...t come on our time, then we don’t want it to come at all. Don’t be like most people who are willing to wait on all the wrong things but are impatient and quit on all the right ones. When you know you deserve things and really feel like something is yours, there’s no such thing as it taking too long because you know it’s only a matter of time. Patience is the key to endurance, and that key unlocks the door to consistency, which welcomes you in the home of trust. Nothing requires patience like love. Nothing respects patience like trust. And nothing values patience more than happiness. Learn to be patient long enough to let life give you the answers to the questions of your heart. Uncertainty doesn’t always mean you’re lost; most times uncertainty is just there to remind you to wait on Universe. Anybody that willingly embraces patience and waits for what they want will never be denied of what they want. A patient man has perfect timing. Just don’t use patience as an excuse to procrastinate, patience is divine but idle time is the Devil’s best friend.

Perception
Perception is everything
Whether we agree with it or not, it is. How you portray yourself is the way people will perceive you and the way you treat yourself is how people will treat you. If you never show people you have a brain, they’ll always treat you as if you’ve lost your mind. However, their opinion of you is never the final auth...ority, your self-worth can’t be validated by others, you are worthy because you say you are. Fools seek approval in things that have no authority but the wise understand every person passing judgement isn’t a judge. You will never be able to control everything spoken about you but you are responsible for the things you give people to speak on. Yes your character defines you but your reputation precedes you and if you don’t care enough to protect it, in one way or another you’ll always be neglected. Secure people are comfortable being hated for who they are; the insecure seek love trying to be something they’re not. And at this point in life if the social you is only doing things in hopes to fit in, the real you will always end up being left out.

Dreams
Get closer to your dreams”
It’s ironic how so many of us are always getting ready to live but never living. We’re waiting for life to give the clue, but when given, we’re never getting it. Realize that whether we’re living the best times or the worst times, this is our only time and the wise make the best of it. Our circumstance and mistakes can set back our position but that should only gives us conquerors a greater focus our mission. If you have the ability to dream, the courage to believe, and the guts to make it happen, nothing can stop you, doesn’t matter what you’re trying to do. Good people wait on opportunity, great people create opportunity. Take a chance and invest in your future, believe in your dreams, because you’re the only one who can make them happen in a way that they will last. And you can live the dream a thousand people picked for you but all that leaves you with is regret and a thousand new haters because you’re living what they couldn’t. The fruition of your dreams will always reflect the effort you’ve invested in them. Good people, if you waste your money then you’ve only lost some money but if you waste your time, you’ve lost part of your life. The only way to seize the moment is to be in the moment, stop letting life pass you by waiting on the perfect timing because no matter how long you wait, time never will.

Trust Issues
Trust Issues
The things you feel you have to control are the things you don’t trust. You may feel secure by dominating situations and manipulating people but you can’t run from the true insecurity that comes with being alone. Everybody has trust issues but you’ll never learn how to trust if you don’t give anybody a chance to be trusted.... If being hurt is what you’re worried about then you have to get over it and realize you’re only hurting yourself. Our thoughts directly influence our actions so continuously thinking about hurt only creates pain. A closed mind and a cold heart do more damage than any liar ever can. So stop pushing people away that have proved that they deserve to be in your life. A conditional friendship is a condemned one. If you want to trust then pay attention to the small details because in the end they’ll be what made the big differences. Learn through pain, don’t run from it. If you never face the challenges you can never claim the victory. The key to being trusted is simple; just make sure your actions align with your words. Consistency earns trust, inconsistency earns doubt. You can either be trusted or you can be doubted; your choice.

Morning Reflection2
If you’re an amazing person then be an amazing person. Just don’t waste time trying to prove it to someone who doesn’t care. You shouldn’t have to prove to someone that you’re a great catch. They should prove to you that they have great hands. Doesn’t matter how good you fee...l you fit with somebody, a forced situation is the foundation of a fake one. You can’t open a man’s eyes for him, he has to want to see, and you can’t open a woman’s heart for her, she has to want to feel. When you get weak excuses like “you deserve better” leave them alone because the person you deserve will be the one that tells you “it gets no better.” You want a partner that doesn’t need you to show your cards for them to know that you’ll play a good hand. You’re with the wrong one if you have to wear a crown in order to be recognized as royalty. Dating and starting over may suck but it’s not as painful as knowing you’re wasting your time. Don’t try to be what somebody else wants you to be; what’s making them happy may end up making you miserable. If the one you love can’t recognize you’re special, they may just have to learn to appreciate you by losing you. Sometimes you have to forget what you want, in order to remember what you deserve.

Morning Reflection Jan 6. 2011
No such thing as fear-
Fear is the intimidation of opportunity when the outcome is uncertain. It’s when we see our past, our mistakes, and our shortcomings, but are too blind to trust the knowledge we’ve gained from those experiences. Fear is that moment we decline the trials and tests of life not knowing that we’ve also declined the opportunity of triumphs and testimony. Fear is that instant a deserving person earns your trust and you turn them away based on the ones who betrayed it. Sadly, few acknowledge that when fear allows us to lose trust in others we unconsciously give up on trusting ourselves. Leaving us forced to realize that whatever hurt us, hurt us with our permission. So fear holds on to the past hoping the good times will return because even though the fire of the future seems bright, when that wind blows the flame is so hard to trust. But whether the light shines bright or dims with the darkness, us faithful believers find hope in simple things like this: Good things don’t always last forever, but if treated the right way, when the good dies; great is born, and fear aint got nothing on that.

Independent beverage
Distribution of Jones Soda began with what we call our "alternative distribution strategy." Jones Soda Co. placed it own coolers, bearing their signature flames, in some truly unique venues, such as skate, surf and snowboarding shops, tattoo and piercing parlors, as well as in individual fashion stores and national retail clothing and music stores. Following the execution of the alternative distribution strategy, Jones began an up and down the street "attack" of the marketplace; this time placing product in convenience and food stores. Finally, the company began to achieve larger chain store listings with companies such as Starbucks, Panera Bread, Barnes & Noble, Safeway, Target, Cost Plus, Meijers, Winn-Dixies stores, Albertson's, and 7-Eleven stores
