Ready, Set, Meditate!

It is official. I have decided to start meditating on my 1-2 hour train ride each day.

Normally, I check random articles on TIME's Twitter and e-mail for work.

But, I've decided to take charge of the extra "me time" to try to become more aware my surroundings and myself.

The reason I write this is because I need to be accountable to someone to actually do this.

I'll let you know how it goes and what strategies I use to stay focused!

Attitude

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkabl

e thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” - Chuck Swindoll ♥

Personal Advisory Board

Today, I went on a morning date with my friend Hope. We always have such a fun time chatting about life and new things going on. Hope brought something up to me that really struck a chord.

Everyone should have their own personal advisory board. To run ideas by, receive helpful advise, and get empathy when needed.

People who do not have an advisory board of sorts end up being quite lonely and tend to struggle with things that could use some extra wisdom and a fresh perspective.

I find that when I confide in and utilize the advice I get from my personal advisory board, I make better decisions than I would otherwise.

Do you have a couple people that you trust enough to have on your personal advisory board?
