Never Stop Smiling

Some doctors once promoted smoking…

What else do we not need that could they could be promoting …

Who’s being paid off?

The sign out front my house reads, “when in need of the knob – cum in and visit, Rob”

The more anxiety you will feel. “What if someone finds out that I’m lying?”

The more stories you’ll have to remember

The more credibility you’ll lose if you are caught in a lie.

The more you lie… the worse your life will be.

As I’ve grown – I’ve come to realize that everything happens for a reason. Even if it appears I’ve made a mistake or had an error. Most times, good things have come from errors and many times – great things have come from my errors. Everything happens for a reason.

Before you bitch – before you complain – I want you to think about …

I want you to think about those that live alongside the Nile river. The same river they use to wash their clothing and collect their drinking water.

This river is not only home to many snakes and bacteria that can kill, but it’s also home to the Nile crocodile. A crocodile so fierce that even the strongest of men cry when they know one is near.

So the next time you bitch – the next time you complain – I want you to think about …

Put your phone away and walk everyday. Whether it’s inside (arena or athletic centre) or outside – put your phone away and walk for an hour or more everyday.

… trying something new.
