Hunger


Did you ever stop to think about hunger? I mean it is something we often take for granted. I mean we get hungry we eat. After a while we get hungry again. Some are more susceptable to hunger than others. Some can go through a day and not think about food. Others, myself included, enjoy a good meal. The smell of a steak sizzling on the fire or chili simmering on the stove. Yum Yum I can almost taste it now.

Alot of life is something like hunger. Hunger is so ingrained in who we are that we do not think about it anymore than we think about breathing or going to pee. Hunger is a real motivating force though when you think about it. Many people will do many strange things under the influence of hunger. I mean have you ever gotten in the way of someone having a chocolate attack and needing a fix? FOR REAL best get out the way fast. Anyway if we never got hungry how would our lives be different? Would we change the way we act? Would our social lives change drastically? I mean how many events on your social calender has anything to do with food?

pieces only leads to frustration.

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see #4).

RESOLUTION OR REVOLUTION: by Tim Timmons


The Top 10 New Year’s resolutions as reflected in most polls in the USA are:

1) Spend More Time with Family & Friends
2) Fit in Fitness
3) Tame the Bulge
4) Quit Smoking
5) Enjoy Life More
6) Quit Drinking
7) Get Out of Debt
8) Learn Something New
9) Help Others
10) Get Organized

I’m sure most of us are able to claim one or more of these as our own personal resolutions. I know I can. I have kept only a few of my New Year’s resolves. It certainly makes me a better person just to reflect on and evaluate my life each year and for that there is no doubt a little improvement in some areas.

However, I am through with any medium to high expectations that may come through my New Year’s resolutions. Life is too short to count on resolutions to make significant changes in my life. Resolutions can only REFORM what I already have going for me or not going for me. In 2007 I am for revolution. Revolution can TRANSFORM my life.
