Why women will kill for a man with passion, then prevent him from executing it.

What are you trying to be?

Remember when you were a child and people would ask what you want to be when you grow up?  Now that you are grown up, do you know what you want to be yet? Are you excited about what you do?  How do you find your mission in life?  Have you ever wondered why musicians spend so much time perfecting their craft when the odds are heavily stacked against them ‘making it’?

The Information Super Highway

I’m sure most of us have listed our new year’s resolutions for 2012.  Have you ever thought about the information you will use to achieve your goals?    

The modern world and the cities we live in have become information bombing zones.  Our daily lives are inundated by multiple streams of information hoping to hit their mark and grab our attention.  We're caught in a marketer’s storm, and it reminds me of old black and white World War II movies showing air raid missions over Europe.

I've just noted that overall psychological health shapes how we interpret messages from the environment. People of low psychological health tend to interpret even neutral messages as negative or something negative.

People of high psychological health, on the other hand, tend to slap a layer of their own emotional well-being unto most messages, upping the emotional content of most things by at least a bit.

My self-development journey started in May 2010. I was broke, overweight and single. Life became one giant question mark, and for me, it was extremely painful and stressful. I went through an emotional journey to rebuild my identity, get in shape and find a purpose in life. It wasn’t easy but I am glad that I came out stronger at the end. Exactly one year after, I am rightfully employed and pursuing my career. I have lost 45 lbs to a healthy weight at 180 lbs. And my dating life has been going well.

So all of us can think of jobs that are masculine in today’s world. Jobs like being a fireman or construction worker are awesome jobs, indeed.  Or maybe, being a world class beer drinker who can slam a 30 pack in .00002 seconds?
