You know what? Life actually gets busy sometimes! Yeah….who knew right? With all the hustle and bustle of day to day activities, it can be difficult to find the time to do a blog post. Between helping the kids with their homework, the honey-do’s, walking the dog, exercising, eating and everything else in between, finding time to blog can be a chore. But hopefully, if you’re looking to be effective, you won’t look at blogging as a chore. It’s a business.

And if you are anything like anyone else, you have a cell phone with you almost all the time. Well, what if you happened to be sitting at the dentist waiting for your appointment, waiting in the airport or relaxing on the beach, and you happen to have a WordPress mobile app installed on your phone? What could you possibly do with something like that? Instead of wondering how to cram the time in later or wondering when you were gonna to have access to a laptop, do a quick post right then and there from your phone!

If something like that would be helpful to you, I just happen to have a few links you might want to check out.

WordPress for:

• Blackberry
• Iphone
• Android

If you don’t use any of these phones, do a search for your specific phone. Chances are, there will be an app available. If not, try searching for plugins that will make things a little easier when posting from your cell phone, like the WordPress Mobile Admin. They lighten to load a bit for you.

So there….no more excuses. Happy blogging!

If you look at my Facebook profile, at times all I seem to be doing is watching movies or reading quotes. To be honest, most of the quotes I know come from movies. It’s embarrassing when having a conversation and some random movie quote comes out that makes complete sense in my head but nonsense to everyone else. Has that ever happened to you? At times, I speak in the language of movie…and most of them happen to be rated G.

Inspirational Movie – Robots

The movie in my life this time is the animated “Robots.” The quote was, “A dream that you don’t hunt down can haunt you for the rest of your life. It’s up to you….!” The two words that stick out the most for me both start with “h,” and are “hunt” and “haunt.”

HUNT – I don’t know how many of you have ever been hunting, but if you have, you know that hunt isn’t only about the kill. There is so much more involved in the experience. Here in Arizona, you have to get drawn first. Then there is preparation: Siting in your rifle, scouting the area you will hunt in, getting out your camping gear and making sure it’s in good shape, sharpen your hunting knife and make all the necessary arrangements for time off work. Much of the HUNT is getting to hang out in the mountains with some of your closest friends or family members.

The kill is just the icing on the cake, or the overall goal. It’s what you came for, but not the only thing you get. The Dream is also the icing on the cake but the experience of achieving it is what comes along with it.

HAUNT – I know we all have regrets. Can you imagine what life would be like without having a single regret? If we could all just live that “On Purpose.” Now maybe this isn’t true for you, but when you had the chance to say something to that girl you had a crush on in High School and you didn’t, or punch the school bully in the face just to teach him a lesson or take that shot in the last seconds of the big game……and you didn’t. How long will that haunt you? How long will it haunt you to not say, do or be all that you want to be?

For the rest of your life!

The truth is, the more you don’t do these things, the more insecure you become, the less experience you gain and the closer you get to being the victim instead of what you should be, the victor. Regardless of the outcome of your actions, whenever of virtue, you are still the victor….because you gain the experience. If the girl of your dreams says no, no loss. If you miss that shot, no loss. If you punch the bully in the face and get your butt kicked, painful, yet, no loss.

I would much rather make the move and lose than never make the move at all. Winning is just icing on the cake! At least I can look back and say that I had the guts to do it…and by making those kinds of decisions, I will win more than I lose.
