On this Independence Day weekend, I am honored to pay tribute and give my all out thanks to every single one of you who put your lives on the line and paid the ultimate price in order that we as Americans could be free. Every year we should do all we can to pay our respects to the men and women who have answered the call but this year in particular, we should make the…
Strive to do your best. Build your own happiness and success. And take time to enjoy all that you have created in your life. Each day work toward being the best person you can be. Accept that no one is perfect, but don’t use that fact as an excuse. Not only are you working toward realizing your best life, know that you are also working to make the world a better place for all humanity.
Amy has been a part of See The Good from very early on and was the first person to offer to share her fantastic work, thoughtful insight, and God-given talent her on the site. And since that time, I know that we have all benefited from her weekly posts. But on a deeper level, I know that I have grown even more from her friendship.

Enjoy the unexpected surprises that appear in your life. Sometimes the fruit or reward is much easier to reach than you ever imagined. It can appear right in front of you, rather than far up a tree.

Your success should never be predefined. You might not always reach your expected destination or preconceived achievement, but even “missing the mark” is a learning experience. And in many cases, you find that the unexpected result is far more satisfying and enjoyable than what you had expected or hoped for as success.
We no longer speak without shouting or name calling. We no longer listen respectfully. We no longer respect that words can hurt, instead we must inflict physical damage and pain. When did we forget that we could maturely agree to disagree after sharing a civilized conversation?
Enough with the hatred. Throwing punches at each other will not solve anything. Destroying property will not solve anything. It will not bring about lasting change. All it does is bring on more negativity. That is the last thing we all need right now. We need to love one another. We need to be there for each other. Let’s focus more on seeing and doing good than wanting to hurt one another. It may…
You are never alone. There are always books to read and music to listen to. Both of these are the thoughts and feelings of another person that are being shared with you. Open your eye or ears, and your heart to learn from what that person has to offer.
