Who are your best friends? Who are the people you’re not related to that you love to spend time with?
When was the last time you saw them? I’m serious. See if you can identify how many weeks or months have passed since you’ve last hung out in person.
Do you have any plans to stay with friends this summer? Did you know that if you did just a few simple things you’ll be guaranteed an invitation back?
If you don’t do these things the chances are high your visit will feel like a sacrifice instead of a slumber party.
Vacation season is here! It’s the time kids and adults wait for all year long! As adults, it’s the time we’ve told ourselves we will finally relax and give our family members our undivided attention.
That puts a lot of pressure on your vacation to be a memory machine. The very thing that’s supposed to help you relax can become another source of stress. How am I going to manufacture fun and memories when I’m already exhausted?
How can you tell if you really love someone?
If you were asked that question by your kids what would you say? One day they’ll probably ask so you should be ready.
What was your favorite birthday? Why was it your favorite birthday?
I recently was helping someone celebrate their birthday and he said that his favorite birthday was in 4thgrade. He said it snowed so much that day that everyone at the party went outside and built a giant dinosaur of snow.
Did you know that organizations have self-esteem? We often think of people or our own self-esteem, but rarely do we think about organizations.
Whether it’s a group, team, division, department, company, church, town, or even a country they all have a way in which they view themselves and that view impacts their self-esteem.
Who is someone who has significantly impacted your life?
I bet you can identify a handful of people who came along at just the right time and helped you make the right choice or kept you from a wrong one.
Do you remember the first time you tried coffee? I remember my grandfather having several cups of coffee throughout the day. His morning always started with a cup in his recliner.
As a child seeing him savor each cup made me more than curious. After my barrage of questions he had my grandmother pour me a cup…black. It was the worst thing I had ever tasted!
If you live in the Northeast you know the pessimistic saying, “There are only 2 seasons: Winter and road construction.” Neither season is much fun.
I often think about that saying when I hit a long construction delay on a trip during the summer.
Have you ever felt like you invested in someone’s life and you didn’t see the change you had hoped for?
You poured a lot of time, energy, and love into the relationship, but now they aren’t part of your life. Maybe it was because they moved, had a life change, or you were heading in different directions. Whatever the reason it can make your investment feel pointless and maybe even like a waste of time.
