TommyLog – Taking Time to Notice #vzwbuzz
Took a walk this morning in beautiful foggy downtown Chicago. I noticed how many people were walking around with their headphones in their ears. To be fair, I was one of them. I was thinking to my self, how many of these people are noticing their surroundings, or just walking / listening blindly?
Are we going throughout life or do we notice whats going on around us?
It has been an amazing week of dance show-offs, banquets and my 46th birthday. I’m just overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, messages and good will I received on my special day.
This made me think about my friends and how you can really be judged by the company you keep. I know that you must surround yourself with good people. I’m so blessed to have the BEST people in my life, both in person and in my social media world. THANK YOU!
What makes your friend special? Why do you have the certain core group of friends that you do? Finding the best core group of friends is so important. In this day and age you can find friends to help you or hurt you. Your true friends will be with you through thick and thin. Are you at in the AV crowd, or the sports crowd? Clara is in the dance crowd, growing up I was in the A/V group and had A/V type friends. My circle of friends made me want to be better.
You always want to be around and surround yourself with people who want to make you better. Never surround yourself with people who wants to bring you down. Those people will always leave you. When you surround yourself with people who want to make you better, it’s infectious. You thrive off each other.
Be careful who your friends are and choose them wisely if you make the right choices your friends will be there forever.
What does it mean to trust somebody? What does it mean to be trustworthy? We all know people were not trustworthy and can’t be trusted. It seems to be a lot harder to tell a lie that it is to tell the truth. When you tell a lie, you have to work extra hard covering up your tracks to hide your deceit.
When you are truthful person people know when you lie, your lie spreads like an infection. People do not want to be around others who do not tell the truth. Honesty is the core of life and people who were not honest, It will come back to haunt you! That I can promise you. Surround yourself with people you can trust. Trust for the people are your only way to success.
To close out 2013, I want totake some time to give thanks. Thanks for all the people around me that have made the Clifford family successful.
It’s impossible to name everyone by name, as I don’t want to leave anyone out and make someone sad…so i skipped most names on purpose.
THANK YOU for making 2013 so wonderful!
Here’s to an even more amazing 2014! WOOT!
