Always Strive for More Big and Small

Striving for more in all that you do is a great start to all things big and small. Striving for more doesn’t have to be doing more then the Jones’ nor does it mean you have to struggle and hurt yourself getting where you want to be neither. When striving for more the simple things are a great start.

Strive to be more organized, be a little earlier to work, spend more time with family, and by being more conscious of others around us .. it can be as simple as not procrastinating and taking your behind to that appointment you keep putting off. All things matter and all things we aim to do better at will make life that much simpler for each of us and will guide us to the next step in what we need. Good health, good relationships, better finance, more order in our lives… the list goes on an on.

What can you do starting this week to strive for more, to do  better, to have the simplicity we all need in our daily lives? How will you begin your journey in having something more, whether it be time, money, love, or family? I plan to strive for more by showing up at work earlier, to not put off bills, to spend more time with my family, to add 100 new blog hits a day to Reed What Matters, and to add 10% to my customer growth at work by the end of this quarter. In doing so I will have more structure, more finance, new friendships, and have a better relationship with all in my home.

The simple things matter just as the bigger things. The simple things can lead to the big things. Make a difference in your daily life today and please share below by commenting how you will make a difference simple or big!

“Oh Flanders!”

You read that right, “Oh Flanders!” As I sit in bed with Yissie and Sinya I’m told that “Oh Flanders” is the new substitution for any cursing disappointments. Not that I curse often, but Sinya made sure I agreed to her new rule that all throughout our lovely world should abide by.

“Oh Flanders”

“What the Flanders?”

“Who the Flanders does she think she is?”

“Flanders That”

“Shut the Flanders up”

You get it! Got it! Good!

Follow Sinya’s rules and she will be very happy. What are some words you use to substitute your cursing disappointments? I’m curious to know. Please share below for all our readers to laugh at or maybe you can inspire us to use your words in our homes. Thank  you.

Baby Safety & USB Cables

Baby Safety is imperative and often enough something simply looked over can harm our little ones. In case you haven’t seen in the news a 16 month old little girl, Trinity Anderson, has been severly burned last week by sucking on an I-POD USB cable that was plugged into her mother’s laptop.

This incident is something that can easily overlooked. Imagine sitting a few feet away from your baby while she is at play with her toys; maybe your reading, watching TV, or surfing the net, regardless you know your baby is fine.

You look over, low and behold, your baby really isn’t fine at all. Who would think a USB cord could do so much damage. I have my USB cord for my Blackberry and I-POD hanging from my PC, sure my baby is pass the “sucking on things” stage, but this must hit home for many.

Everyone please tuck your cords away or unplug them when not in use. Also, make sure you use your third eye checking on your baby more often then you would normally. My heart truly goes out to this little girl and her family. This is a reminder to us all, we can never be too careful.

Do you have any tips on child safety that most of us easily overlook. Please comment below to share with us. Thank you.
