What is your New Year's Passion for 2008?


I hate goals; No, I really hate goals! Did I mention that I hate goals? I know that hate is a strong word but goals and goal setting is killing Americans! So, please stop setting goals. O.k., so I hammered that point into your goal-setting-new-years-resolution head of yours, goals are sooooooooo overrated. However, what is not overrated is a "true" passion for what you LOVE doing in life. Yes, your passion in life! One of my passions is technology and the way it connects humanity to build human relationship.

Therefore, what is your passion for 2008? I know passions just don't come out of thin air like goals but think for a second what you love doing in life, what makes you smile, what makes you think for a second I could do this for free. Well, that good feeling in your heart about a certain activity might be a passion of yours. Believe me when I say this, "Follow it"! For 2008, do your passion in life please put down the goals! Happy New Years!

The Donorism of Christmas


For many of us, Christmas is about giving and receiving gifts and sharing time with family and friends (the closest to you). It is a time unlike no other in the year. However, I believe Christmas is more than what was just mentioned, for me, it is the "Pre-Happy New Year!". It is like the "New Year's Eve of New Year's Eve"(kind of). More importantly, I believe Christmas is the last "Greatest feeling" that individuals and families feel.

This feeling that one feels on Christmas brings a certain type of momentum or passion or drive going into the New Year that suits it best more than any other holiday throughout the year to catapult us through January 1st. Thus, while you are opening your presents on Christmas day and spending time with the people you love the most, take some time to reflect on the last "Greatest feeling"that will touch your heart and bring conscious security to your mind before you start counting backwards ".......10,9,8,....5,4,32,1!!!" because then the rest is history!

Merry Christmas to All and Happy Successful New Year!
