Motivational Ideas (Part 4)
1. All actions are based on their intentions. But its likely that those intentions are not known by others. They are only known by you. In this regards, it is important to realize that whenever we do anything, especially the good deeds, it is quite likely that in the middle of that action, we start intending to show off to people. It's likely that our intentions can sometimes fall off these targets. One of our main distractions from our clean intentions becomes the intention of showing off to others. We may want appreciation from people, or we may want to fit into the society and overcome some peer pressure, or we may want to show ourselves as superior to others. All these intentions can easily ruin our plan of action and distract us.

Aries' ruling is planet is Mars-- named after the Roman God of War. People that fall under this sun sign are: courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, and passionate. I can't say I, myself, am the most confident person, but it sure likes to shine when it does.

The Magic of Dirt
Texas Smells Like Summer Camp Since living in Elgin, a town 40 miles east of Austin, Jim and I have been tending to a little garden and I am in love. The plot lies at the front of the house, adjacent to the road and shaded by a line of bushy trees. The entrance to the garden is through an iron-wrought fence that’s rusted quite prettily and is draped in grape ivy from one robust vine. The bunches of grapes are numerous. They feel velvety and cool to the touch and hang heavy with a beautiful weight to them.

Finding New Hobbies
So, this week I discovered two things that are worlds in and of themselves and communities that a lot of people may not even know exist in the online world. It all started while shopping at everyone’s favorite store...Wal-Mart. It just so happened that on this particular day, I had to drive to two different Wal-Mart stores because apparently during self-isolation, everyone on the planet discovered what a freakin’ bike is and decided they couldn’t live without one! I needed to buy a bike because I am going off to college in a couple of weeks and that would literally be my only means of transportation in my little college town.

Follow Steve Martin's Advice. "Be so good they can't ignore you."
When I was in college, I used to call my brother every Sunday evening. We would talk about the week, things going on, classes, etc. He had graduated from college as was working for a .com company that was starting up. It was the year 2000. He would tell me about the platform and how they would be able to help models and agents. It sounded like a great idea. I didn’t understand anything he would tell me about the technology because it was hard to grasp. It was all so new and exciting.

Travel through time with dance
Before you think I'm crazy with the title, you have to hear me out. It's kind of a concept that I picked up from a conversation. When we dance we don't really think much of anything but get caught up in the moment. Sure we could be following some choreography or have a thought of what we're going to be doing but for the most part we are stuck in the dance. It's a state of mind that we're not fully aware of until you reflect on it.

Accepting Defeat
We all have encountered an defeat in our lives. It could be losing a high school state championship game or as simple as being rejected by somebody that you like. Those defeats will sting, and some of them may sting more then others. But the great thing about life is, as long as you are still breathing there is an opportunity to pick yourself up and try again. If we are victorious in everything we do in life we will not be able to learn from the mistakes that are made in it. Even through defeat there is a lesson to be learned from that scenario. Everybody successful have taken an loss, the difference is those people took that loss and bettered themselves with it.

Renia
There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly right-brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and values. I greatly value freedom of thought, friends and family and with everything that is happening, I appreciate freedom even more. The spiritual self is all about my beliefs, values, religion and my life philosophies. By satisfying the needs of all three characters, the result can be very rewarding towards my wellness, which is the ability to feel good about others and myself.
