"A Better Me"

"Positive"

(the state or character of being positive: a positivity that accepts the world as it is.)

What's up everyone, I know it has been a while since I've blogged. A Lot of things have been going good for me! Got a new job, so that puts me at four JOBS! I know Its my fault, but it works all out for me! Lately, I have been overly excited, just for the fact that My book is currently close to being finished, and I love my new job! It seems like when you let people get the best of you, you allow them to stress you out! My plans on moving to L.A. is now completely out of the picture due to me having to get myself together before I go out there and really go hard! Its crazy cause I know that I will become successful, and have really no clear vision how, but as long as I stay focused I'll get there! Again I have learned about some people, and I've learned how to handle situations! All and all Everyone know that I am updating everyone to let them know that I'm being a better me, growing up, maturing, and loving life. Its Like the train, Hop on or get off! i'M PRETTY sure that next month will be as challenging as this month was. Each day you slowly see the changes in people. Or not really changes but you see them for what they are! I'm learning that there are a lot of negative folks in the world, especially the spark of positive actions. We should all have to accept and understand that the more positive things that starts to happen, and the more positive things you start to do, you’ll un-mask some of the most negative people around you! I'm learning that as I become more and more successful those who always say they are down for you, they are truly not! I cant say everyone is this way, for there are people similar to me. I don't judge anyone, I take them for who they are, and what ever success comes there way, I give them the congratulations that they deserve. We may not agree of some people actions, but we must understand there actions. For ever action, there is a purpose! I am a true believer of everything happens for a reason! So I say to everyone please stay positive, and keep a positive attitude. Promote positive actions, and maintain who you are, so you can stay they way you are!

“Friendship”
(a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.)

Throughout life there only has been a few people that respected me, and or I respect enough to call them my friend. This last month have manage to test my relations with those I’ve had called my friends. This past month it seems that the faster you nominate a person as a good friend, the faster the show you there not. I challenge everyone to dig deep in their relationships and evaluate whether you have friends, or do you have associates. Friends are the ones who you know that have your back no matter what, who offers encouragement, but still staying real. The ones that you Love no matter how many times yall argue, or how many times they are wrong. Your friends that no matter how CRAZY, UN-Organized, all over the place, and sometimes overall annoying . You still call them your friends. See you must not get friends confused with the associates that are more or less convenient because you see them everyday, work with them, or just hangout every now and than! You know, the ones who says they have your back, but leave it hanging as soon as that lie comes out there mouth. Or the ones who would lie to or about you to boost there own selves up. Yup they are the associates. And me, if you know me you know that I’m outgoing, fun, and overall real. I always speak what I feel, and you know how I feel about you. It amuses me that we have these people that is caught up in negativity. It seems to me that the more and more positive people you hang around, and positive things you start doing, you began to see all the negativity behind you. I say that you must move on, and you may along the way find some real friends, that are truly good friends, thru thick and thin, and thin and thick! I can truly say that this pass month I have figured out some true friends, and boy I have figured some true associates! It hard for me to say, just because the type of person I am, that these associates will not make it, because being negative will get you nothing but negative results. So I say thanks to all my “REAL” friends, who have been there for me! No, Not financially, But emotionally, because words can buy you a lot more than money can. Money is exchangeable, friends aren’t. Money may buy, and builds houses, but words build life-lasting relationships!
FRIEND: a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter:

“Always encourage your friends to do better, offer them words of encouragement. Never try to buy your friends. In life words can buy more than what money can. Money may buy & build houses, but words buy & build character, and long life-lasting relationships. Money is exchangeable, while your friends aren’t. Friends are extremely hard to find."

Pushing Forward

WEIGHT GAINS/WEIGHT LOSS

Yesterday, I have started this workout to become more fit and Heathy. Although, I've been at this stage before, I have mad it official that I will stick to my diet and workouts. Through these years I have gain tremendous weight, and the lost some. Now back up higher than I was! I now realize that everything you do in life... "EVERYTHING" will not come easy. If it comes easy, than its something wrong! Next post I'll tell you guys, how much I weight as of now 5/19/2010, than I'll let you know how much I have gained or lost. This will be interesting because m household is not the best place to begin trying to loose weight. Especially when you have all a pantry full of fatty foods. Everything will work out in the long run.... Hope all goes well, keep me in you guys prayers.... Cause I wont these abs, and I want a cut body!

"Thru The Blur, I Still See Clear"

Right not when everything seems to be blowing up in my face. Everything seems to be going wrong. It seems like my goals are becoming more and more out of reach! But even though I'm going through some foggy times, my attitude has been much more positive. Life seems "NOT" to be as stressful, and things that usually bothers me aren’t. I have written down some goals of mine, and I really think KNOW that I have finally have a plan on where I wantNEED to be in life. Getting there probably won’t be easy, if it was everyone would do it. I have learned that becoming successful is a mental process. Once you show up every day and work on your goals you are one step of becoming that. (Example: The BEST way to start to lose weight and work out is "showing up" to the gym.) I decided(Definition of Cide: Put to an End) to speak my actions, goals, and dreams into existence. I made a decision finally on finishing up some last Deadline Production projects, and release myself from the company! The Company is great, but right now I’ve found m purpose in life, and I have to work every day on that purpose. We all have purposes in life, and a lot of people go back in forth in their life on what they wish, or think there purpose is. I can truly say that this (TELL YOU LATER), that this is what I was called to do. Moving on, I am now a part of a company called "Primerica", which you may have or have not heard about. I see my potential in this company for me, and I am striving hard to get the best outcome. Many people think it’s a scam, but indeed knows nothing about 'Primerica"! Just goes back to "People don’t like, what they dont understand". If sometimes people took a step back and listen, things would be clearer. I just hope years down the line as people may look on my success, see the hard work, see the potential, and actually realize that if you listen more often, its other things being said than what our natural sources of opinions tells us. I am so excited that I have made the decision to go a step forward with my success. Just ask yourself, when you look at me do you see a failure, and if you know me, than you know I don’t fail, I always exceed, and never gives up when it gets rough, but BACK OUT WHEN IT GETS TOO EASY! "Thru The Blur, I Still See Clear".... My Goals are slowly becoming 'Reality"

"Moving On"

Moving On .... is sometimes hard to do. Leaving something where you have been so comfortable for so long is even harder. Being at the age that I am (21). I think its time to do which Ive been needing to do for so long. I realized that "You must make your dreams become reality, so you have no more dreams, but actuality" -- Mike.
I'm starting to understand that you only can be the person you want to be when you let all strings holding you back go! I know I may struggle, and I even may fall, but we "ALL" proably will hit rock bottom. Hitting rock bottom is only defined as the point where you realized that you really need to get your act together. Throughout this last month Ive been faced with struggles, have seen struggles, and have felt the pain. I just know that I will strive for a better month this time around. Everyday I start to become more and more stress free, althought things have not gotten extremly better. I just know that I'm growing up! So yeah, it looks like finally Michael John is starting to do things for himself, cause at the end of the day it all falls down to just me!

Today, I'll have to face some choices, and so far thru it all. I know what I need to do, and I know what I want to do. Which is why today really doesn’t come together, between My needs, and wants. "Thru My Eyes", I know it’s best to put needs first, and by doing so your wants will come later. Right now I am just stuck on what ifs, and maybes. How do I give up something I so want, for that something I so need? My Life seems to be going too fast, and each day, each different thing, requires more of my time. How do I manage time, when I have really lack of it? I think I may need an assiatant because my scheduled is becoming too complex, or do I? Well, "Thru My Eyes" I know it’s best for me to make the choices I "Need" to make, because in the long run(So I’ve Learned), That your wants are not what’s going to get you anywhere. Your basic needs, always "Need" to be taken care of to prepare you for the wants. All this to say friends/Family, we should bear to take care of ourselves. I'm faced with the decision of leaving Deadline Production, leaving Red Robin, and/or leaving my my parents house. So many things I have to think about but today these decisions will be made at the stake of my needs. As my day begin I "Will” begin with prayer, and start my day. I will clip off some lose ends, and ongoing situations. ""Thru My Eyes" God will show me the right path, and give me the right words. I can only be me, and giving up now is not an option, but Moving on is the only way to go. I can’t move backwards because I will be repeating. Today this will end "Thru My Eyes", for I'm closing out my pity parties, and closing out the Life that I thought I found, and starting Life that I will now create. "Thru My Eyes, I see the road that I must take, and I know that I may lose people along the way, But those who dare to stay true to Friendship and embrace values will always be around and in my heart always.

What can I say

Another month down and more situations at hand. Sometimes you tend to lean towards different things, you must note to yourself that you will make decisions that may seem at the time right for you, and then decide in the future that it may have not been the best choice. You must know that you will change your mind, and you have to be ok with it. This month "Thru My Eyes", I’ve truly lost some things. Although, a lot has happen I feel like that I must share with all of my followers here, or even if no-one, write down my thoughts to get them off of my mind. You see it’s been a crazy month for me, from work, home, life, and relationships. Needless to say, the most things that affected me were me losing possibly a woman that I truly love. Not by death, but she said Goodbye to me, and said Goodbye for good. Also, I’ve lost someone greater this month. I've lost myself, and just came to realize that I've been really living my life, in not the way I want to. Not to say that I want to go out and go wild, but I couldn’t remember when the last time I honestly made a decision by myself, without thinking about any reparations. When was the last time I've relaxed and freed my mind? I truly can’t remember, and truly figured out how my life has been going for the past years. The lesson learned "Thru My Eyes" is that you cannot live your life lying to yourself. You can’t live your life trying to entertain to make other happy. At the end of the day, you should not have to deal with your stress and stress of others. You must do what you have to do to be happy. Not saying slay the world, but if you like doing it, do it! If you like jumping, JUMP! You may lose people for your own happiness when people don’t agree with you, but again at the end of the Day you are only stuck with the decisions, and actions you take. Than later only stuck with the responsibilities. So why does anything else matters. 'Thru My Eyes", you’re the only one who controls your happiness!

Today

Well, the day started out good, and I decided to go to Florence, NJ to surprise my good friend for her birthday. Today was a great day to start with and as it progressed it seemed more interesting. I usually write my blogs at the end of the month, but I have to express how I’m feeling now. When enjoying your life, you will be faced with many choices, and as I learned today it is not best to make fast decisions. Even if it’s something you really want to do, you must decide if it’s the best thing to do. You should weight out all the outcomes. I have learned thru my eyes that all decisions come with consequences. Some are good, while some are bad. You should always trust your gut, because you must know that your gut is only there to guide you! Today has just opened my eyes on knowing that better days are always promised.

Whats Good Everyone. Everyday I often write, and I have decided that its better if I complie all my writings in a month so you guys can get a summarized post from me. Well, this month have been really tiring for me, and really short. I got the call about a crusie job that I've been trying to get for over 3 months. Ive also met alot of people to help Deadline Production get on their feet. Throughout this month I have learn that "Life is only what you define it. No one can tell you who you are or who you should be. Image is not important, and you should aim high when doing anything you want to do." No matter what you must love yourself before you can do anything. My journey to California seems to be un-realisti because of the simple fact of me doubting myself. Change is hard, but its good. I realized this past month thru the experiences that nothing is handed to you. You must always go out and make things happen. Be a Go getter, thru my eyes I see potential to thoose who are willing to work for his/her dream. And thru my eyes I know now that if you dont love yourself you are not living. People are always going to have something to say about you negatively. Keep your head up, I'm now realizing that there are a group of people out their dedicated to the enbetterment of giving back.

Me Michael John:

Welcome to my blog, just wanted to give everyone a insight on who I am. Well not anything special nor anyone big. Just a hungry citizen, trying to make a better life for myself. Not aiming to be famous, rich, or a superstar. I just want to a be successful young Man. I'm orginally from Chester. Pa. I now reside in New Catle, Delaware, where life is anything but interesting. It's not really that bad, but me coming from a city, and making my way here in the suburbs, you can only imagine how big of a change it is for me. Not until about last year I found who am I, and what I wanted to be. Lately, many opprotunities right now our starting to run by my way. I must say it's a exciting feeling. I'm apart of an non-profit organization called Deadline Production. It seems that everyday by me talking, networking, and people getting to know me have caused so many other opprotunities offered. I'm currently in the midst of writing a book, and planning to leave here Delaware, to move to Los Angeles, California. I'm inviting all family, friends, and everyone who's anyone to move with me through the days on my journey to become successful in conpleting my goals.
