Blogging ideas come to me at the oddest times. \u00a0I am either driving in the car, riding on the train, or watching TV. \u00a0This specific topic hit me like a ton of bricks at 4:30 in the morning about a month ago. \u00a0I have been playing with the premise of this for awhile. \u00a0While I know it may not resonate with everyone because of the religious undertones, I feel compelled to say what I feel regardless of \u00a0the audience. \u00a0After all, that is what blogging is all about.<\/p>\n

I tried to think about life. \u00a0What have I learned in life? \u00a0What principles are important to me? \u00a0What principles define who I am as a person? \u00a0What have I learned along the way?<\/p>\n

Here are 10 philosophies on life that I strive to live by every day.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0ALL Glory Goes to HIM <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>I am a Christian. \u00a0I don’t do all the right things. \u00a0I strive to do the right things. \u00a0I have made huge mistakes. \u00a0I have done things I regret. \u00a0Any successes that I have I owe all to the creator. \u00a0I am grateful to be alive. \u00a0I am grateful to have a wonderful family. \u00a0I am grateful for my health. \u00a0I am grateful for my family and friends’ health. Everything we have, everything we have accomplished, anything that happens- we owe all to Jesus.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Whatever You Put Into It, You Will Get Out of It<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 The more time and effort you put into ANYTHING the better the result.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>If you want to lose weight, you have to eat better. \u00a0If you want to be faster, you need to run. \u00a0If you want to be successful at your job, you have to do all that the job requires and MORE. \u00a0If you want to be a good parent, then you have to spend quality time with your children. \u00a0Don’t second guess this. \u00a0Things don’t happen magically!<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Embrace Children. \u00a0They Are A Gift <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>I always joke around about who I am. \u00a0I am a father, husband, a true Texan, and…. by the way, I am also a recruiter. \u00a0Being a recruiter is an easy job. \u00a0Being a father is the most challenging and rewarding job I have ever held. \u00a0I love having kids. \u00a0Watching them grow up lets me re-live life all over again. \u00a0It is so interesting to see my our kids and see physical characteristics of me and my wife. \u00a0They truly learn EVERYTHING from us. \u00a0I know Grandparents feel the same way. \u00a0Kids are just amazing.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0What Comes Around, Goes Around <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>You may be successful today. \u00a0You may have all of the money in the world. \u00a0If you did something that wasn’t ethical to achieve success, eventually failure will follow. \u00a0If you cheat on your spouse, eventually you will get caught. \u00a0Do what is right. \u00a0You will be a better person. \u00a0You know your morals.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Someone will Always Have More. \u00a0Stop Trying To Keep Up With The Jones’s<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0 It doesn’t matter what I achieve in life, someone, somewhere will always have more than we do. \u00a0My parents taught me to be content. \u00a0It isn’t an easy thing to do. \u00a0I always strive to do my best. \u00a0Someone will always be smarter, stronger, and will have more money. \u00a0The minute you figure that out, you will be a happier person.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Everything Happens For a Reason<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> This is a hard one for me. \u00a0It is a hard one for anyone really. \u00a0No one really knows why things happen. \u00a0I have to believe it is all part of a bigger plan. \u00a0Why do people get sick? \u00a0Why do people die? \u00a0Why do relationships end? \u00a0Why are we here? \u00a0Why are we dealt a bad hand? \u00a0Truthfully, only one person can answer that question. \u00a0Breathe. \u00a0Enjoy life.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Treat Every Day Like It is Your Last <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The one thing that is certain in this life is that we WILL die. \u00a0Embrace every moment. \u00a0Treasure friendships that are meaningful. \u00a0Spend time with the ones that mean the most to you. \u00a0 Do things that this wonderful world has to offer. \u00a0Your judgement day will come one day. \u00a0It may come sooner than you think.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Mamma Always Said There Would be Days Like This \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>I wish every day was great! \u00a0It is not. \u00a0Just like the book I read to my daughter “Alexander and the Terrible No Good Very Bad Day”. \u00a0Some days just stink. \u00a0Some weeks stink. \u00a0Some years stink. \u00a0It is important to keep a positive attitude and pick yourself up and dust yourself off. \u00a0Really, what else are you going to do?<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Stop Trying to Control The Uncontrollable<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>I am an anxious person. \u00a0I am always trying to find out how I can control a situation. \u00a0You know, I can’t. \u00a0It is going to happen regardless. \u00a0If I have sleepless nights over losing a job because of a bad economy, then I have wasted energy. \u00a0 If you are religious, you will trust that things will just have a way of working themselves out.<\/p>\n

10. Whenever You Have a Chance, Pay It Forward<\/strong><\/span>– \u00a0I have written about this before here<\/a>, but I had to include this on the list. \u00a0Everything comes full circle. \u00a0Treat others the way you want to be treated.<\/p>\n
