5 Things – Happiness

Nov 17, 2008 | blog, happiness

5 by Leo Reynolds Like Jon Swanson, I’m not really big on memes, but since the 5-Things meme is a long standing blogging tradition, who am I to refuse? So in his 25 Things post, Jon tagged me with “Five Happiness Reasons”, I’ll bite and hand off to another couple bloggers.

Here are my items for the “5 Things” meme: Reasons to be Happy:

  • The change of seasons
  • Our ability to overcome challenges
  • Your family & friends
  • Being part of the community
  • Doing something for someone

So now I’ve got to tag another 5 bloggers eh? Well, I’ll tag Mykl Roventine, Todd Jordan, Josh Kahn, Mike Keliher, Garrick Van Buren. What’s the five things? Since it’s that Thanksgiving time of year – how about 5 things in social media to be thankful for? Participate if you like guys.

Right Now

Aug 27, 2008 | blog

I Feel So Small Right Now - by Pat Rioux What are you doing right now? Are you moving forward, stagnating or slipping backward? Why wait to launch your biz, your idea, your brand? Why wait to spend time with your family or call your parents back?

There’s no better time than the present to do something.

Right now you could be:

  1. Building something new
  2. Spending time with your kids
  3. Finishing a project
  4. Outside
  5. Helping a friend in need
  6. Building a website
  7. Mowing the grass
  8. Working on a community project
  9. Reaching out to someone
  10. Stimulating the economy
  11. Supporting your local charities
  12. Practicing your golf swing
  13. Taking responsibility
  14. Yielding to pedestrians
  15. Taking your family on vacation
  16. Applying for that position or job you want
  17. Visiting a elderly relative
  18. Taking the stairs
  19. Finishing several projects
  20. Saving money
  21. Getting away from the computer for awhile
  22. Fishing
  23. Building your personal brand
  24. Returning that phone call
  25. Taking steps to become the person you want to be

What I really want to convey is the reality that there is no better time to do something for yourself, your family, your community, your country, or the world than right now.
