Overworked and Underpaid: Get Your Time Back!

May 1, 2012 by P. James Holland

Did you know that workers in other countries work less than the average amarican?
Our average workweek as well as the hours per day have been steadily increasing over the past 10 years!
Most European employees enjoy 6 full weeks of paid vacation a year! As you may well know, the industry standard for America is 2!

A few years ago, John De Graaf started a movement called “Take Back Your Time Day.” This movement would have everyone take the same day off – October 24th.
It’s purpose was to bring awareness that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We are overworked, underpaid and quite frankly . . . starting to lose our sanity!
What is happening to “The American Dream”? How are we to enjoy all the beauties of life if we spend 80% of our weeks working?

Sure you may be happy with your time-and-a-half overtime pay, but at what costs?
Being overworked adds an undeniable amount of stress to your life that far outweights the extra couple bucks you make.
What about being home during those crucial years as your children grow?
How many of you have children who took thier first steps while you were on the job? How many of you got the call that your baby spoke its first words only to rush home and hear your pride and joy utter the babysitter’s name?
It is time you reevaluate how you are spending the majority of your days and “Take Back Your Time”
as Graaf would suggest.
Maybe in the process you will find that you also get your LIFE back!

Quote of the Day – Belief

May 1, 2012 by P. James Holland

“Believe with all of your heart that you will do what you were made to do” ~ Orison Swett Marden

If you don’t have belief you do not have anything!
If you are entering into any competition but on your way they you have thoughts that there is no way you could ever win… You might as well stay home.
We live into what we believe. Our body always finds a way to prove that our mind is right.
If you believe you are unlucky, you will always find yourself finding evidence that backs your claim. You end up saying “I told you, bad things always happen to me, that is why I am unhappy”
The reality is – IT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE
Because you are unhappy first and believe that bad things will happen… they do.
Try believing in the best possible outcome just for a day.
Look for different reasons to prove that what you want is actually getting closer to you and that good things are making their way to you
Just for a day…………

"Goodbye Mother" – Why we hate to say goodbye | Coach Comeback

April 30, 2012 by P. James Holland

Hope this touches you the way it touched me!
GOODBYE MOM

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him.

She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, “I hope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you look so much like my late son.”
He answered, “That’s okay.”
“I know it’s silly, but if you’d call out ‘Good bye, Mom’ as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy.”
She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, “Goodbye, Mom.”
The little old lady waved and smiled back at him..
Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone’s day, he went to pay for his groceries.
“That comes to $121.85,” said the clerk..
“How come so much? I only bought 5 items.”
The clerk replied, “Yeah, but your Mother said you’d be paying for her things, too.”

Moral of the story…..

Don’t trust Little Old Ladies!!!

BLESSED ARE THE CRACKED, FOR THEY ARE THE ONES WHO LET IN THE “LIGHT”!

Quote of the Day – Hope

April 29, 2012 by P. James Holland

“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.” ~ Samuel Smiles

Hope is believe in a better day. The minute you start to have hope you begin to distance yourself from that which has been stealing your joy.
It only takes a little bit to make a huge impact on your life.
Begin each day with a little hope.. and belief that things are getting better… and you will find that they will.
