Happy Tuesday 【ツ】

Some days it's hard to let go of the mean or hurtful things others do. In this world it's so easy to get caught in the cycle. Everywhere I look I purposefully have little reminders to try & keep myself in perspective. This is one of the ones on my desk that I look at constantly throughout the day. It helps remind me that everything should be done purposefully & to your best & that I only control my thoughts & actions.

Taglines A Terrible Thing to Waste or A Waste Of Time?!

Most business owners I've found have a fear of marketing, much less branding. Most people do not realize or understand the importance of branding. Branding matters, messages matter, & tag-lines are something that can have a huge effect on you business. A successful tagline's lifetime is almost infinite. The only time a tagline would need to be changed is if there are pressing reasons to change the core message. There can be reasons, for example if there's a change in your company's focus, or the competitive environment in which you work; then you'd need to change your tagline. Although ideally you would never want to change your tagline.(that will only confuse people) If you must change, change only your "Image" to help consumers meet where you are today. As challenging as it is to create a strong tagline, it's all too easy to craft one that fails. NEVER be generic. Remember, your brand in general and your tagline, almost more than any other piece, should be as specific and emotive as possible to highlight the connection between an individual and your business. Generic language is deadly! Your tagline should show the value of your business. Your marketing should never raises more questions than the answer. Do NOT be generic. Be specific and distinguish your company from the others. Never indulge in or plan uneasiness. Avoid introducing ambiguity into your branding. Avoid poor word choices. Only use ONE tagline at a time!!  The best way to confuse and alienate your audiences is to send out multiple messages at the same time. Unless consumers are hearing consistent messaging from your business, they are not going to recognize you in an instant. 

To be honest that is all you truly have. You have an instant to attract & keep their attention. It's imperative your message has a generalized positioning value. If your message doesn't have positioning value, if it is just a descriptor, it is a waste. That is really key, the most important "do." You want to make sure you make your tagline broadly accessible and memorable, avoiding jargon and acronyms. Make sure you can be recognized at a glance, that your company is memorable. What is it that is so important that people want to repeat it and that they can not stop thinking about. You ultimately want your company to be seated not only in the brain, but in the heart of your consumers.

We need to find God

We need to find God, 

and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... 

We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa

"Jealousy"

"Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.  Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.  There is only one alternative - self-value.  If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. 

You will always think it's a mistake or luck.  Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.  Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.  Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.  Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them."

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

You aren't going to be his first, his last or his only. He's cared about someone else before and he will again but if he cares for you now what else matters? He's not perfect. You aren't either and the two of you will never be perfect... but if he can make you laugh at least once... hold onto him and give him the most you can... he is not going to quote poetry... he's not going to be thinking about you every moment... but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break... so don't hurt him don't change him and don't expect more than he can give you... don't analyze... smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad and miss him when hes not there.

- Angelina Jolie

I didnt write it but its still good :D

To love is to risk
not being loved in return
to hope is to risk pain
to try is to risk failure
but risk must be taken
for the greatest hazard in life
is to risk nothing at all

Veterans Day

You don't have to agree with war or the reasons behind it to appreciate respect & honor those who have fought & those who continue to fight for our freedom. To all of those brave men & woman Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

Last thoughts of the day

The more you worry about your problems the more you take attention away from the good in your life. He's got your fears, so relax & keep pressing forward. We've got a world to concur ;-)

Wisdom

"Take no offense.
That which offends you only weakens you. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place - so transcend your ego and stay in peace." - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Lao Tzu

Woman at her best, like water,
Serves as she goes along:
Like water she seeks her own level,
The common level of life,
Loves living close to the earth
...Living clear down in her heart
Loves kinship with her neighbors,
The pick of words that tell the truth,
Even the tenor of a well-run state,
The fair profit of able dealing,
The right timing of useful deeds,
And for blocking no one's way
No one blames her

Lao Tzu

Just thinking aloud

One of the hardest lessons I've learned is to simply let go and move on. Nothing has taught me more or spoken to me louder than the actions of other people. Someone shouldn't have to tell you they care for you to truly know it. It should be something that you can feel in your heart. While we may try to help or hold on to ones we love, what are you receiving from the situation emotionally and mentally? If you are the only one ever giving in the relationship as much as it hurts to admit your most likely being used. Think of the time and energies already vested into this do they add up make sense and dived equally among all involved or does one always come up a bit empty handed. Time will pass situations will change
 but a person very seldom does. Just a thought

It Is What It Is

Stressed & tired of peoples games. Never have I asked for nor have I expected anything from anyone. I live my life out in the open & I wear my heart on my sleeve. There's no need to change who I am, or alter my opinion to please others. I am me daily! My real raw emotion, sometimes good sometimes bad. I'm happy to share them with you but you gotta take me as I am cause I'll never change me!

Just a lil Faith

I've learned in life there is no point to fear. Fear is the absence of faith, and faith is something I've always had plenty of. Have faith in yourself those you love & your dreams. Because people have faith in you if no-one else know beyond a shadow of a doubt if your my friend I have faith & know deep in my heart you can achieve anything you want to if its in your heart, you have faith and then follow up with actions. It's just that easy. So believe in yourself because I believe in you!! Happy Humpday My Friends
