More About Me

I'm passionate about

Other Peoples' Passion

An idea worth spreading

Change how someone think and let them think positively, let them think how I can improve one small aspect of my life, being able to wake up and just say it's going to be a good day. Or just making that first step for everyone to just get out of bed, but be happy about it. We've all heard talks about talking and thinking positive and then you will be.

Talk to me about

EVERYTHING

People don't know that I'm good at

Completely confusing myself and others in rambles.

  Aug 17 2011: What is everyone's idea of how to set one up in public or even set it up in small offices and in homes daily, weekly? I want to create a model in which can be used daily that people can follow to get together and recharge everyone spirits in life.

  Aug 15 2011: It's an environment that my business team created where we do weekly training and improvements. So I thought by using those same principles of thinking positive will attract positive, to help change a lot of youths and adults and every age minds to harness that power and create an actual atmosphere for people to charge up and boost their spirits up for the week or day.

  A reply on Conversation: Creating Positive Atmospheres

  Aug 14 2011: I just work with a group of people who help market for a company. We gather about once a week and about 100+ attend on a weekly basis from all sorts of places. What I experienced is that we get together and talk with one another and all I could hear is people talking about improvement, stories of struggles, but always had victories and achieved something. Talked about new products they've tried or are coming out from the company and just excited about as if they were kids and it was a new toy they were going to get to have to play with. Then we would sit down and listen to speakers from our group talking about how to improve ourselves, always asking, what can you do better and how to do it. So I thought I wanted to take it outside of there as I haven't experienced anything like it personally. We all watch ted talks, read tidbits on average day things such as the side My life is average and chuckle at the smallest of experiences that we've gone through or can relate to, but it was always on the upbeat side or just positive or silly. So the idea is allowing people to copy a way to create a positive atmosphere that allows others to talk about what they are excited about in life, in upcoming movies, in maybe new foods and happy experiences they experienced. It would have to be a good experience or point out something only good about it. Today we learned to point out faults and criticize things and people are taken offense or it becomes a norm for peoples lives. Simple rules applied to where people gather, or families can do at home, or business and companies can let their employees take their time to recharge and gather. They have to be positive about something they are excited about, something they've done to improve in their life whether it be small or large, whether it be they chose a salad over a burger at lunch. Allow people to hear one another and be recognized and able to speak in front of the group just saying one thing they did better or will do better.

  A comment on Conversation: If you could teach the world 1 valuable thing you learned, what would it be and why?

  Aug 14 2011: I would teach the world how to think positively. If everyone thought about how to improve, how to be better, how to simply stay upbeat and cheery no matter the odds. The resourcefulness that comes from it is boundless. Similar to the ted talks about Tony Robbins said about the difference between resource vs resourcefulness.

  A comment on Conversation: Without spending money, how can I make the biggest impact on my community with 15 minutes/day?

  Aug 14 2011: Teach how to serve one another for the better. By being a better person, being always positive. Creating small little positively charged persons. From kids to elders, simply teach the power of being positive.
