“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. 
Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?”  - Brian Tracy

When I started this blog I had the vision with it to not only include photos from the sessions I am a part of but things that actually happen day to day around the house.  Though its not too glamorous, it is still important to me...  

I consider the following to be a life lesson:

Growing up as a child my grandmother was a very instrumental person in my life.  She taught me many great life lessons and was a very, very kind soul.  I can still hear her say, it's better to give then to get. Everyday I try to live this out.  From helping a friend who needs a break for a few hours, to treating the person behind me at Starbuck's by paying for their drink to blessing someone with an unexpected gift. Be it big or small - it doesn't matter, what's important is love behind it.  Being genuine.  Giving to bless not to reap. 

This world is filled with so many people that are caught up in materialistic ways and consumed with thoughts of "What's in it for me?"  It's very unfortunate, but at the same time it's a lesson that needs to be taught to my children and those of their generation.   The video below rings true to what I'm thinking about.  If you have a few free moments I encourage you to watch it. :) 

Happy Tuesday everyone!
