Why You Don't Really Want That Thing You've Been Delaying

Take time to think About What you really want 
Your actions reveal your real values. A simple, but profound statement. Why haven't you quit smoking? Why haven't you started that business? Why haven't you learned that language? You say you want to, but then reasons. Those reasons are really excuses because deep down you DON'T want to do those things, not really. You want them sure, a little, but in reality other things are more important to you right now.

Use this knowledge to re-evaluate what you think you want. Stop focusing on that thing you think you want, but don't really want as much as other things. You'll be happier accepting the simpler life of what you truly value.

And if you don't like your values and want to become the person who does really want that thing, then use this knowledge to re-evaluate why you aren't prioritizing that thing and find a new motivation.

Truth is we all have the time and resources to do whatever it is we really want to do, we just don't always admit to ourselves what that is.

BTV Media Player Scam?

The following article does not condone piracy, but just for fun. The following article actually isn't about piracy, but it does come into play. Read on to see why we are really here.  A friend of mine shared an article with me recently that I was drawn to because it made some shocking claims about Legacy Direct, a company I invested in. The company sells media players which are basically devices for your TV similar to Roku or Apple TV which turn your TV into a smart TV and allow you to access multiple apps and tv/movie streaming. Some streaming is paid for like Netflix and Hulu, while other streaming is free by connecting users to online content from various hosting sites. Basically it allows you to get all your shows and movies on one source without having to download things (legally or illegally) on a computer then transfer to your tv or separately log in to your many tv streaming sites. Everything is streamlined to one place.  There is a danger with

How to Eat Healthy For Noobs: Tips If You Never Tried a Healthy DietBefore and Don't Know Where to Start

After a good friend of mine suggested this topic to me, I thought for a while where to begin, then I procrastinated and finally late one night it hit me. If you have never really tried eating healthy before how should you begin? Replacements! What if you aren't a health-conscious eater, but you want to be? Maybe you never have been successful with dieting or you haven't had the desire to and now you think it's time to get healthy. You may want to eventually go all out, but you're new to this and you need to start small.  The easiest way to start is with the simple act of replacing. This means slowly switching out your current food and life choices for slightly more healthy versions one-by-one until you reach your health goals. It may seem simple, but too many people try to start being healthy by going straight for the latest diet or trying to change everything at once. We are bombarded by all the latest health claims and diet fads. Many of us get overwhelmed and guil

The Matrix, Simulacra and Comedy?

I won't be modest, I think I'm freakin hillarious. On those magic moments when others agree with me, it does occur every so often, life is good. I love making people laugh. But sadly many of my jokes go unnoticed, or are misunderstood. Take this one in my Critical Theory class today. The class is a dull fest. Honestly intellectual discussions on the theories of critical theorists, theorizing how we best should theorize literature and literature theories. What? Yep that's what we discuss everyday. I did find one good use for the study of these theories though. They inspire great ideas for movies, and thats where my joke came from. For instance "The Matrix", pretty much the most awesome action sci-fi flick of our time, was based of Jean Baudrillard's writing on "Simulacra". Who knew these writers actually got their crazy ideas from their boring college classes? Mrs. Park if your reading this, I am sorry, it's not you, really it's not. I&#
