Change, it’s Good for You.

by | 1 Comment

Are you happy with where you’re at in your life? Are you really? If so ignore this article and I’m proud of you, but unless you’re in that .01% who is happy with their life, I think it’s time for a change.

We should all change things on occasion.  That’s why you’ll notice I’ve changed a few things about this blog, this weekend, most notably the header.  In other places you’ll see a different font, a new Google+ button, and a few other small changes.

You’ll also notice a number of other changes in the coming weeks as well as I try number of new things, with this blog.  Some might stick, some might not, but it’s all part of life.  Nothing ever truly stays the same.

Doing the same thing over and over can be fun, but after awhile it just gets comforting.  There’s no new challenge, no adventure, no sense of failure.  We should all work on changing things every now and again.  If anything we should create change just so we don’t get comfortable.

So I’m asking you, just as I’m changing a few things about this blog, why don’t you change a few things in your life?  Why don’t you try a 28-day good deed challenge or tomorrow go for a run around the block instead of watching TV?  Yes, change can be troubling, hard, and sometimes difficult, but remember no matter the outcome, in the end all change is good.

Two Deaths and a Blog Post

If you’ve been following me on Facebook or even on Twitter, you’re well aware that the last two weekends I’ve been dealing with some deaths in my family.  First my grandmother passed away on the 5th and then my parent’s dog Harley passed away in his sleep, on the 16th.  As you can imagine, it’s been a crazy month with tears shed here and there, but just like everything else we have to go on.

The human life, just like the life cycles of any product, is doomed to die and break down eventually, as sad as it to admit.  Look at Facebook, I would be more than a little scared due to the recent addition of Google+ to the social networking game field or hell Pandora should feel the same with with Spotify’s recent launch.

Death is a part of us as both humans and products.  It is our job as individuals to grow, be bold and live on.  Facebook and Pandora have been great products, and I’m sure they will still be around for the next few years but just like people, products break down.  This is nothing to bad to say either of these products, but after a while instead of being innovative products start to play the game safe and hesitantly.

Will Facebook and Pandora die quickly?  No, just like my Grandmother MJ or Harley, they will fight like hell to stay alive, but in the all we can do is watch.
