A while ago I read and article about Steve Jobs and what he said on his deathbed.

What he talked about in that article, was how important enjoying the process…

The point of distractions in our lives has reached an all time high.

Novelty, success, self preservation.

There’s not doubt that our heads are filled with a million choices every day because of the world in which we live.

However, the true dilemma lies in the fact that we believe many (if…

He was only 12 years old when it happened.

They were walking through the woods and his brother never saw the downed power line.

I think of all the stuff going around us.

Religion wars, politics, who has what and who owes who what.

There seems to be an never ending battle of give and take.
