Along for the ride

Just hang on!

Some of us are leading the pack. We have a purpose, a goal, a dream.

Others are just along for the ride. No purpose. No goals. No dreams. No desire.

Is life speeding by so fast that you can barely hang on? This little guy was probably using everything he could just to hang on.

A lot of us live for the weekend. Try your hand at living for every day. Make your life more than just being along for the ride.

Warning about humor

On the heels of yesterday’s thought about laughter, here’s a warning about humor in general.

It can be hazardous to your bad mood.

I may be wrong but I don’t think you can scowl and laugh at the same time.

When dreams collide

What happens when dreams are in conflict?

If you are a true college football fan, you’ll understand this. LSU had the same dream last night as did the University of Alabama. But it meant that the success of one team reaching its dream came at the expense of the other team falling short of theirs.

Should the failure you experience in chasing pursuing your dream discouraging you from the attempt? I hope it doesn’t.

All of us here at “It’s All About the Customer” are pulling for you to achieve your dreams even if you fall short. We’re still here. I’m still here.

PS. Congratulations to my Alabama Crimson Tide football team for winning the BCS Championship game last night. You’ve achieved a dream for many of us!

You think that’s funny?

I love hearing my kids laugh. Laughter has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

That includes laughing at me and with me.

Do you have a stressful job? Your customers can see it even if you think you’re good at hiding it.

While laughter can’t cure diseases, it does have many benefits including busting stress. Laughter can stimulate your heart and lungs and it can aid in the release of endorphins by the brain.

Laugh a little today.

It’s a choice

Left or right?

Up or down?

Paper or plastic?

We are faced with choices no matter where we go. Maybe your life isn’t what you want it to be right now, but it’s what you have. So, with God’s guidance, and a little help from each other, choose to be happy.
