Dear Haters, Thank You For The Love

  I always thought the term  hater  would only be found in urban dictionaries. I didn’t expect to find it in mainstream academic dictionaries. I decided to  Google the definition of hater  and I discovered that the term is more mainstream than I thought, and that it isn’t always labeled as slang. Apparently, I was wrong about this word. The  Cambridge English Dictionary  defines  hater  as a person who says or writes unpleasant things about someone or criticizes their achievements, especially on the internet. Your  D ictionary  describes is as a slang, pejorative speaking of one who expresses unfounded or inappropriate hatred or dislike, particularly if motivated by envy; as a slang term for someone who is negative or who discourages others; someone who feels strong bad feelings against a person or thing. The  Merriam-Webster Dictionary  defines it as a person who hates someone or something, or as a person who actively and...

10 Things To Do Better With Your $ MONEY $

  1. Find Unnecessary Things To Cut Out Of Your Monthly Budget ‘Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.’  Hebrews 12:1 Many people struggle financially b e cause they waste money on unnecessary things. I met with a Pastor that was struggling to meet the church’s financial responsibilities. It was a fairly large church with great attendance and at first glance, one would wonder why it was so hard for them to pay their bills without struggling. I mean, when I went to the parking lot during their busiest service, I noticed quite a few cars that are nicer than mine. But when I peeled back the layers of their financial onion, I noticed what was actually making their finances cry. The church was dripping money into so many unnecessary monthly and yearly expenses that it would need to almost double their membership ...

The Art of Saying Less. Actions Speak Louder Than Words.

  Have you ever come across a person in your life who simply doesn’t know when   to stop talking? In the sales business, these are the people who talk past the sale, and often put their own foot in their mouth and kill the deal. In the business world, these are the people who give away all the secrets, and are left with no leverage during negotiations. In dating, these are the people who talk themselves right out of a second date. In growth, these are the people who are so busy listening to themselves talk that they leave no room to learn something new. After working with people and teams for decades, I’ve learned something interesting about most individuals. Many of us (yes, I included myself in there) love to talk about ourselves when in social environments. I’ve noticed that even introverts can be guilty of this once you get them going. They say too much. When I first started working with the public, I ran into a trap that many new customer service, outreach, professional s...

Task Board: Do — Doing — Done / How To Prepare a To Do Board That Inspires You To Do More.

With every new year we see the “new year, new me” New Year’s resolutions. S t atistically, 70% of these resolutions are broken by the 17th of January. This is partially due to overreaching; people make promises and set  goals  that far supersede anything they’ve every accomplished before. Most of the failed goals have to do with a lack of proper planning. Many any have to do with a lack of accountability. Most have to do with a combination of all three, plus lack of faith and drive. Some people start new diets on January 1st even though they downed 12 donuts and a milkshake on December 31st. Others promise never to lie again, even though they finished the year without confessing the lies they already told. Others resolve to make a million dollars even though they’ve never had a six figure year. How about the guy who says this is the year he’ll have a six pack for abs even though he drinks a six pack of beer every weekend and chases that with a six pack of sodas throughout the ...
