I am starting to feel a lot better about everything around me.  My exercise program is getting a lot better.  I am going to enter the 2K Turkey Trot in Huntsville, Al. I have no idea about a 2K or a 5K but I was challenged to do something.  I want to see if I can accomplish this goal.  The last few years, I have been setting some goals.  The key thing is to accomplish the small task toward the larger ones.  You can accomplish anything in life with the right attitude and spirit.  You may get a little distract by some other people in your life but you will need to block them out to focus a bit more.  I have a few more weeks to get myself into pretty good shape.  I know that I am not going to break any records in this turkey trot.  I just need to finish something.  It is really easy to start something but you need to finish things at all causes.

comfort over challenges in their lives."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love comfort like the next person in life but I need more in my life.  We need challenges in our lives to keep moving. We have to look at various ways to overcome certain aspects in my life. I guess, it is really easy to look for comfort in our lives. Sometimes, we aren't willing to put in the effort to accomplish our goals in life. We want various degrees of comfort in our lives but we must challenge ourselves to bigger goals in our lives. If, you look at Maslow hierarchy of needs. Comfort is one thing in our lives that we are willing to keep with us. We really need to take a leap out of our nest because we need to soar like Eagles. Eagles are very hard on themselves and they have a lot of discipline in their lives. They are willing to sacrifice a lot of things to accomplish their goals in life. It is okay to maintain your comfort level but we must keep pushing and opening new doors in our lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will look at challenges in our lives then we will look at all the obstacles in our way. We will need to look at the finish product and we need to stay focus on our goal. Keep the spirit of an Eagle. Don't waste time pecking around like a chicken. As long as you have hope, you will not be ablr to give up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-3465757797496735460?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/3465757797496735460/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=3465757797496735460" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/3465757797496735460?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/3465757797496735460?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/lttO2yk0OWQ/comfort.html" title="Comfort" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/09/comfort.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkYNSXw7eyp7ImA9WxJaGUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-6295583278621905375</id><published>2009-08-11T05:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-11T05:36:38.203-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-08-11T05:36:38.203-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Never Give Up" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nature" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Eagle" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Joyce Meyers" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="challenges" /><title>Never Give Up</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SoFluVfYr0I/AAAAAAAAAdI/ALehd0HHMFg/s1600-h/joyce-meyer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SoFluVfYr0I/AAAAAAAAAdI/ALehd0HHMFg/s320/joyce-meyer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368684077519515458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have started to read this book by Joyce Meyers called Never Give Up.  Never Give Up has really sparked something inside of me.  I was reading a section about the differences in certain species of nature.  I was struggling with certain things in my life.

This was a last minute selection from my girlfriend.  It was either The Proposal or Up.  I let her pick the movie because it is a lot easier this way. Sometimes, it is worth losing the battle to win the war in the end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Colden Books, who forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid being deported to Canada. He grudgingly accepts, under the condition that he is promoted to the position of editor. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to sell the lie. The family suggest they could marry the same weekend, and they reluctantly accept. They start to fall genuinely in love as they spend more and more time together. Because of this, during the wedding ceremony, Margaret decides she cannot do this to Andrew and confesses the business arrangement in front of everyone--including the immigration officer handling their case. She is then told that she has 24 hours to get back to Canada, and thus goes back to New York to pack her things. Upon doing so, however, Andrew shows up at the office and confesses his love for her in front of the entire office staff, proposing marriage all over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, the scene starts to change from New York to Alaska in which her assistant Andrew Paxton is originally from this small town in Alaska. She discovers that her assistant parents are well off to do.  They have a lot of business in the local town.  They are trying to hide that they are really engaged.  They have a few holes in their stories. Her assistant is like the prince of the town.  All, the local women have an eye for him.  She starts to discover that this small town has a lot of magic to it. She has discover that Andrew is the only child on the family. His mother and grandmother are really into their only child. Sandra Bullock character is really into the big city life and she has a hard time understanding these people. The grandmother has a really liking to her grandsons new bride. She gives her some wonderful gifts that the family has cherish for years.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Proposal has some wonderful qualities in them such as falling in love, beliefs, and certain family traditions. I love the fact that certain things are passed down to the bride in the family such as wedding dress.  It is misleading in some other ways such as lying and cheating the government on the immigration laws. If, you are in the mood for a love story in which it is pretty predicatable but it gets the point across in a certain way.  This is a perfect movie to watch with a close someone in your life.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audio/visual not synchronized: When we hear Andrew's friend yell down to him from the airport tower, "There was nothing I could do," his mouth doesn't move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Granny Annie who is celebrating her 90th birthday says she wore the wedding dress when she was pregnant, but also says her mother made the dress in 1929. She would have been ten years old in 1929.&lt;br /&gt;Roll Tide Roll!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-1834796436585909103?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/1834796436585909103/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=1834796436585909103" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/1834796436585909103?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/1834796436585909103?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/6a2IAV8Sj1g/proposal.html" title="The Proposal" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/06/proposal.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkUMR3c9fyp7ImA9WxJWE0o.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-1281241813010662829</id><published>2009-06-18T19:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T19:24:46.967-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-18T19:24:46.967-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tips" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="golf swing" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nationwide Tour" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mistakes" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Golf" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Getting Better" /><title>Golf</title><content type="html">Wow! 65 is the number of strokes to qualify for the Nationwide Tour. 65 my target score when I am teeing up the ball.  I have noticed that a 65 ll get you into the qualifier for the Nationwide Tour.  It is something to work at for now.  My goals is get my game to a 65 or lower. How can you shoot great scores such as 65 when you have so much pressure on you.  It is really simple if you look at the math of a round.  First, you are going to make a few mistakes on the golf course but you will need to miss at certain places.  So, you will not compound the mistakes too much.  65 is seven under par.  So, you will need to make at least seven birdies in your round and you will need to make at least 11 pars to make the cut.  Another way to get a 65 is to make a eagle and 5 birdies with at least 12 pars.  When, you are looking at these scores.  You will need to focus on one shot at a time not the target scores.  If, you take one shot at a time.  You will do fine.

I have all these small little &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Tools+and+Hardware"&gt;projects&lt;/a&gt; that I need to complete.  I am working on my bathroom at the moment.  It is taking me a little longer but I want to do everything the correct way. So, I am hiring and doing some of the work myself.  I think the hardest part for me is finding the correct tools to do the job.  Some of these jobs are really easy but the &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Hand+Tools"&gt;tools&lt;/a&gt; are really hard to find for some of the niche job around the house.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working on a lot of XBOX’s at the time.  I am constantly looking for &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/Washers"&gt;5 mm washer&lt;/a&gt; to help me fix these XBOX’s.  Sometimes, I am very lucky to find them at the Home Depot but they are so disorganized at Home Depot that it is really frustrating to go there.  Lately, I have gone to this web site to help find these hard to find parts online.  The &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/Workshop+Accessories"&gt;stores&lt;/a&gt; will list the various prices for the washer and they will even list some other types of items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another item that I need with the XBOX 360 is a heat gun.  I am using the heat gun to reflow some of the circuits on the XBOX 360.  I have purchased a Wagner heat gun because it has really helped with the reflow process.  Also, the quality of the heat gun was the big factor for me.  It seems like the quality of their products are always outstanding for me.  I have worked on about 40 XBOX’s so far and I didn’t get any problems with the heat gun.  This heat gun is very easy to use because it is very light weight and I need to make circular movement on the motherboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important that when you are working on these XBOX’s that you have the correct &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Power+Drills"&gt;tools&lt;/a&gt; to fix your units.  It is very frustrating to work on certain XBOX’s and your tools are damaged or missing.  Having the correct &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Power+Drills"&gt;tools&lt;/a&gt; will help speed up the process of fixing the XBOX’s.  In all, you will need to shop around to find the correct method to fix your XBOX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If, you want me to repair fix your XBOX 360.

I am looking at different ways to stretch out my pay check.  It is really getting to be a chore but I know that I can do it with a lot of great planning and research.  The people who are making money and saving a lot of money during these times are very savvy about their purchases.  In these tough economic times, we have so many different ways to purchase certain items to save us a lot of money.  Recently, I was trying to &lt;a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Workshop+and+Home+Improvement"&gt;update&lt;/a&gt; some of my electronic equipment such as my receiver, TV DVD and personal computer in my house.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The internet has a lot of wonderful sites to visit to help you.  Don’t be afraid of looking around at certain sites to help you with your selections of goods.  It will save you a lot of money in the long run.  I am cutting down on the different trips to the mall because I am spending too much time and money. Also, I am finding out that I never seem to find any bargains while I am at the mall.   I am spending more time on certain web sites because it is lot easier for me to shop.  I have found a web site in which they will list all the stores prices from small to Also, they will always have my product that I am looking for at the time.  It seems like everyone is looking for better ways to enhance their pay checks in these tough times.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month, I was looking for a new LCD TV for my bedroom and living room.  I wanted a 40 inch or higher for my living room.  My living room isn’t really big but it is a decent size room.  I went to the local electronic store and they recommend a LCD 42 inches or higher for the dimensions on the room.  I started looking at the various companies around the local area of Long Beach, Ca.  It was very hard to compare the products some of the companies were going out of business but I have found out.  It is okay to look at certain products for a preview.  You will be able to compare the different LCD TV’s at your local TV shop before you go online to purchase a new LCD TV.  I started to search this wonderful site in which they had various different types of LCD TV’s with the rating and prices next to them.  This web site is very easy to navigate and the links were outstanding.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shipping of the item is another thing that is wonderful with this internet site. They will bring everything to your house.  You will never need to go out looking around for certain items because they will package up everything and you will receive the items in a carefully pack box. I have ordered a lot of things on the internet and they are always in great condition.  It may take a little longer to get instead of picking it up but I have purchased some great Sony TV’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all, if you are looking to save a lot of money and time.  You will need to shop more online with this site.

If, you have a strong sense of dedication in anything.  You can accomplish anything in your life.  You have to put a great effort into your goals to accomplish certain things.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it is getting a lot better with myself.  I am getting a little closer to my goal of getting to the PGA Tour.  I am doing a lot of swing changes in my golf swing and I am starting to see the results of a lot.  I am still looking for the perfect driver but the change in the swing is the most important thing in my progress.  I am constantly working on releasing the club to a great position in my golf swing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As, you are going through life.  Keep working hard on your dreams and they will come true with the right amount of energy.

State St. is a street where all the great shopping and dining can be done. This poet from Ventura name RM was walking down the street and he gave me this poem entitled "The Devils Work" One of the quotes in the poem stated the devil tries to make it seem like everything is impossible. I was thinking about this when I was trying to accomplish some of my goals in my life.  I am trying to make it to the PGA Tour and I was starting to think that this goal was really hard to accomplish.  I am working really hard on my short game for the last year or two.  I am seeing the progress in my short game because it is getting a lot easier for me to chip and putt.  I am having a lot of people who are watching me when I am practicing golf. I need to put everything together for myself.  Last year at this times, I was thinking that my goal was too hard to accomplish for myself and I had almost out talked myself out of it.  I just want you to keep moving forward with all your dreams and hopes.  You will achieve all your goals if you put your mind and body toward them.   You will have to speak positive ideas to yourself or you will remind in the same place.  I will see you down the road.

I have recently bought a LCD Sony Bravia.  The LCD Sony Bravia TV was on sell on EBAY from this company called Open Box.  I had to go to this place in Vernon, Ca to pick up the TV.  The guys from Open Box were very helpful with getting and loading the TV in my truck. I was a little worried about the TV because I was getting it off EBAY.  I had a company called Interstar to install the flat screen TV for me.  I called this company on Monday and they set an appointment to install the TV on Wednesday.  The installation of the flat screen TV over the fireplace took around 2 1/2 hours to install. I was very happy with the outcome of the installation. I have to remember that you will get what you are paying for in life.  I would highly recommend these two companies to anyone who are getting a new flat screen installed in their living room. I would not let the price of the quote scare you off either.  You are going to pay for what you get in life.

I was visiting a pretty nice city on Wednesday.  The name of the city is Santa Barbara, Ca.  If, you have never visited this small but large town outside of LA. It is a really easy drive or a train to this city.  The views are really nice when you are riding up the coast of California. You will catch yourself looking at the pacific ocean a lot.  The ocean is such a wonderful place to get rid of all your thought.  It is really hard to get down on yourself when you see all these wonderful things in front of you.  It is really easy to lose yourself in this town.

I am getting so close to attaining my goals in life but I need to stay a little more focus on my goals.  It is really important to set attainable goals to achieve in your life.  When, you are setting goals. You will need to set a large one with a lot of small goals to attain these goals.  My main goals is to make it to the PGA Tour next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I will need to work on all the small goals to attain the larger goals in my life. The small goal for this week is to hit 10 out of 14 fairways when I am playing my round of golf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use the formula for anything that you want to accomplish in your life.  I was watching the Master golf tournament today.  They were mentioning that Kenny Perry has started to set a lot of goals for golf.  He has never started to make goals until last year.  When, he started to set goals in his golf game.  It has really helped him with his current accomplishments today.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I will see you down the road.  Start setting those goals to accomplish them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-1977329446609156464?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/1977329446609156464/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=1977329446609156464" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/1977329446609156464?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/1977329446609156464?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/FLw8rfKPDpA/setting-goals.html" title="Setting Goals" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/04/setting-goals.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CkUCR386cCp7ImA9WxVbFEs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-4299583981113519797</id><published>2009-03-30T11:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T17:44:26.118-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-30T17:44:26.118-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tide will always come back" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="accomplishments" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="great week" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="looking forward" /><title>List</title><content type="html">Well, it is another great week with a lot of promise.  I am looking forward to making things happen in my life.  I have a few things that I am working on at this time.  I making a list and I am checking off my accomplishments as they are happening in my life.  This list is very easy to keep too. The list will help stay a little focus with your life.  Well, let's tart working on those list and make it happen in your life because the tide will always come back. Are you ready? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are lots of ways you can make a to-do list into something that actually gets done. Often when people get to the point when they are writing it, they are doing a brain dump. They just have to just get things down on paper. But to get to the point where you’re checking things off, you want to make it a do-able to-do list. Things need to be as easy for yourself to do as possible. So you have to break things down into tasks. We sabotage ourselves by writing down things like “Plan the anniversary party” or “Learn French.” Those are projects, not tasks and don’t belong on your to-do list.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-4299583981113519797?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/4299583981113519797/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=4299583981113519797" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/4299583981113519797?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/4299583981113519797?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/RSY9C6W-oZY/list.html" title="List" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/03/list.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D08ESXo9fSp7ImA9WxVUGU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-5305963472539556236</id><published>2009-03-24T15:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T16:03:28.465-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-24T16:03:28.465-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tough times" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="goals" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="california" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="determination" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="dedication" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="palm trees" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="good times" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="accomplishing" /><title>Palm Trees</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SclmdiCLpCI/AAAAAAAAAa0/1Cfg89nmznk/s1600-h/palm_tree.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SclmdiCLpCI/AAAAAAAAAa0/1Cfg89nmznk/s320/palm_tree.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316893492625777698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tough times are there so you can have a good time later on and really appreciate it!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a huge wind storm here in southern California during the weekend. I went outside to look at all the wind blown items around my house.  I noticed that everything was in pretty good shape except a few plants.  These plants were looking really good too.  The harshness of the wind had made the plants uproot themselves from the ground.  I had noticed that my palm tree was still standing very tall and it wasn't affected by the wind storm at all.  I am going to start behave in this manner.  The palm trees are moving back in forth by the wind but they never seem to care about the wind power at all.  They are standing still during the most trouble times in their lives.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can always learn from other objects when we are going through a tough time in life.  We must stay on the correct path and always stand still during the tough times in life.  It is really easy to give up on yourself.  I am going to keep fighting through these tough times because I know that it will eventually turn things in my favor. Stand tall like a Palm tree.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-5305963472539556236?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/5305963472539556236/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=5305963472539556236" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/5305963472539556236?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/5305963472539556236?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/EDB--UzdibU/palm-trees.html" title="Palm Trees" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SclmdiCLpCI/AAAAAAAAAa0/1Cfg89nmznk/s72-c/palm_tree.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/03/palm-trees.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0INQnY4cCp7ImA9WxVUFkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-7149762980846534059</id><published>2009-03-21T08:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-21T08:33:13.838-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-21T08:33:13.838-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Video Game" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="games" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="X-Clamp" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Xbox 360 Elite" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="XBOX 360 Elite For Sale" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="microsoft" /><title>XBOX 360 Elite For Sale</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/ScUIH0jASnI/AAAAAAAAAas/lu00AVQ5FBo/s1600-h/XBOX+360+002.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/ScUIH0jASnI/AAAAAAAAAas/lu00AVQ5FBo/s320/XBOX+360+002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315663865638308466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up for sale is a professionally refurbished Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite Video Game Console.

These XBOX 360 games are really interesting to fix for myself. It seemed like the first XBOX 360 was really hard to fix but I am getting the hang of them now. I think that the hardest part was finding the parts for the XBOX 360.  I was running around town to all the Home Depots and Lowes.  I was spending too much time looking for the little parts for these XBOX's 360.  Also, it was getting a little time consuming for myself. I was losing money with this search of simple parts.  I am finding out that the shopping on the internet is a lot easier for myself.  This company in in Laguna Hills has this XBOX 360 Repair Kit.  This XBOX 360 kit has all the necessary hardware to fix the X-clamp problem with the XBOX 360. The total cost of the kits were about 3.00 dollars plus shipping.  If, you are in need of some quality parts for your XBOX 360. Please drop by fasterner-express.com.  This will be the only place that I am going to get my parts from now.  I will see you down the road.  See you on the Xbox live.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-3445672678665896764?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/3445672678665896764/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=3445672678665896764" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/3445672678665896764?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/3445672678665896764?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/iuzUxXAJo-0/xbox-360_15.html" title="XBOX 360" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/Sb0pqV__ItI/AAAAAAAAAaM/peO4hES1P08/s72-c/DSCN0975.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/03/xbox-360_15.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0AGQXo9cCp7ImA9WxVVGE8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-6457092869231683807</id><published>2009-03-11T20:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-11T20:48:40.468-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-11T20:48:40.468-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="XBOX 360" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="money" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Xbox 360 Elite" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="rrod" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fix" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Roll Tide Roll" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="rushing" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="problems" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cleaning" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="XBOX" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="microsoft" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="attitude" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Elite" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="trick" /><title>XBOX 360</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SbiGA0qputI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/44e13YiARFM/s1600-h/microsoft-xbox-360-elite.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SbiGA0qputI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/44e13YiARFM/s320/microsoft-xbox-360-elite.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312143109179161298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have fixed a XBOX 360 Elite.  I am really excited about this process because I am planning on making a little extra money to pay off some bills.  I was getting a little down about this fix but I had a little problem with the first one.  For some reason, the first XBOX 360 wouldn't work well for me.  I was trying every little trick to make it work but I am going to try again in the upcoming days.  I am going to sell the fixed XBOX 360 elite to a friend who is looking for a XBOX 360 system for his son.  I am trying to figure out a price for this XBOX.  It is really nice to fix these little XBOX 360 system.  It is really hard to fix them if you have a positive attitude about the problem with this XBOX 360.  You will need to make sure that you are doing a great job cleaning upthe XBOX 360.  I was thinking to myself that I was rushing a little bit with the other XBOX 360 system.  Lastly, when you are having a problem with anything in this world.  Your attitude is very important toward your problems.  I will see you down the road.

I am really excited about all the wonderful things that I am going to get done this week.  I am really proud of myself because I am doing a lot of wonderful things in my life.  I know that I can accomplish my goals if I put everything in the correct place.  Also, I am trying to stay positive with my whole life.  I am always thinking about the positive results in my life instead of the negative outcomes.  I was spending too much time with the negative results in my life.  I was dwelling on all the failures in my life.  I wasn't looking at all the positive aspects that I have in my life.  When, you are feeling a little down about your problems.  I am looking at all the great things that I have in my life.  Lastly, we have a small problem with a lot of us in this world. Don't let the negative voices speak to loudly in your head.  Negative voices will always try to drown out the positive aspects in your life.  Well, thanks for dropping by my blog and I will see you down the road.

I am really excited about the progress of my goals.  It seems like things are getting a little easier for myself.  I have listed a few goals that I would like to complete before the end of the year.  It is really important to list your goals so you can stay focus on your goals.  Each week, you will need to look at your goals.  Ask yourself these simple questions when you are looking at your goals.  Did I make a little progress toward my goals today?  What can I do to get a little better in the upcoming day. You will need to make a plan to accomplish your goals. Then, you will need to put this plan into action.  After, you are putting this plan into action.  You will need to study the results of your actions. After you have studied your act. You will need to make more actions in your life.  It is very important to make a plan for your life.  This is really helping me become a better person in the process. Have a great week and I will see you down the road.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-2096397106566115055?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/2096397106566115055/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=2096397106566115055" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/2096397106566115055?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/2096397106566115055?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/1kgJDl7kyKs/plan-do-study-act.html" title="Plan, Do, Study, Act" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/SbSSLTa0VjI/AAAAAAAAAZs/aBY2aiZ7RxQ/s72-c/142a.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/03/plan-do-study-act.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CkcHSXs4eCp7ImA9WxVVEk8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-1221512427663908617</id><published>2009-03-04T18:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-04T18:27:18.530-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-04T18:27:18.530-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Smog check" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="acura TL" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="southern california" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="smog" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="carson" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Paul's smog" /><title>Smog Check</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/Sa84dLl9C9I/AAAAAAAAAZk/LyreOjd-rgs/s1600-h/IMG00103.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/Sa84dLl9C9I/AAAAAAAAAZk/LyreOjd-rgs/s320/IMG00103.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309524559672445906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I am feeling a lot better these days.  I was down for a little bit but I am doing okay now. I want to thank everyone who was sending me a message to get better.  I had to recently get a smog check.  In California, we have to get a smog check every two years.  I had to take in my Acura TL.  I have taken it in to some other places around the southern California area and they had a hard time with this particular car.  This owner of the smog shop was very good with this car.  These smog check  doesn’t seem to help the air in LA though.  I was putting this off for a long time but I have a smog place that I would highly recommend to you.  It is located in Carson, Ca.  The name of the place is called Paul’s Smog.  The smog check place is located behind the 24 hour fitness place.  The smog check owner is very easy to work with during this stressful process.  When, I got the smog check.  I didn’t have to wait for anyone at all.  This smog place is open until 6 o’clock too.  They will do everything that they need to do to get your car to pass the smog check.  Also, the owner will explain anything to you so you will get a chance to fix the problem.  I am very happy with this company.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8007677039350190559-1221512427663908617?l=stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/feeds/1221512427663908617/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8007677039350190559&amp;postID=1221512427663908617" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/1221512427663908617?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8007677039350190559/posts/default/1221512427663908617?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StayingPositiveAtWork/~3/ZiTWvBEXAxU/smog-check.html" title="Smog Check" /><author><name>Geo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14748442232519745273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="10730885935916037996" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/Sa84dLl9C9I/AAAAAAAAAZk/LyreOjd-rgs/s72-c/IMG00103.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://stayingpositiveatwork.blogspot.com/2009/03/smog-check.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUAERHczfSp7ImA9WxVWF0g.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007677039350190559.post-6083590934983014919</id><published>2009-02-27T08:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-27T08:55:05.985-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-27T08:55:05.985-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Roll Tide Roll" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="better" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="goals" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tylenol Cold" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="medicine" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="body" /><title>Tylenol Cold</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/Saga3F1Qx9I/AAAAAAAAAZc/Gy_fe4DmHMQ/s1600-h/P238X230_J2L8688.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 230px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T5GrsZ35rFk/Saga3F1Qx9I/AAAAAAAAAZc/Gy_fe4DmHMQ/s320/P238X230_J2L8688.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307521694616831954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I am getting a little better today.  I was down for the count the last few days.  My cold was getting a lot worse so I had to stay in the bed for the last few days.  I am now taking this Tylenol Cold Head Congestion.  It seems like it is working better than the previous medicine.  My nose has stopped running a lot too.  Also, my body isn't feeling as bad with this medicine.  I am taking the suggested amount on the box.  I should be feeling a lot better in the next few hours.  At least, I have enough strength to get my blog done for today.  Keep moving toward your goals and I will see you down the road.
