Never Give Up Hope

If something goes wrong in your life, you may feel very down but never give up hope. Always think positively and know that one day everything will be ok. There are some crazy things that can happen in this world, but always have faith that things will work out.

All you need is love!

It's not about all of the material things in life, it's about connection and love with someone else. You could be very poor and have someone in your life that you love and you can be happy. Just remember that you don't always need the fancy things, so live within your means and cherish what you have.
" Always show love, no matter what comes your way." - Brandon Zornado

Community

It is important to be a part of your community. Sometimes things go wrong and we the people are the ones who can fix it. Help out somehow in your community and give back. You will feel great about what you have done.

Sharing is Caring

We don't always need everything, so why not share? If you give a little then it can go a long way. Also, you will feel good about sharing with someone else. When someone has been given something they appreciate it and are thankful. Be the person on the other end when you share something with someone and then you can have the great feeling inside of knowing what you did.

Always remember the good times!

It is very hard when you loose someone close to you, but try not to focus on the loss. Think of all the good times you had and whenever you think of them, have a smile on your face.

Pray for Nashville!

On May 2nd 2010 Nashville TN experienced something horrible. They got more rainfall in two days than they usually get in 3 months! Parts of the toen have flooded and buildings and homes are under water. Some people have died and some have been injured. Everything will hopefully be ok , but right now Nashville is hurting and they need our prayers.

Good people make you happy!

Try to surround yourself with good people that have similar interests as you. If you associate with the wrong type of people, you may find yourself into trouble that you never thought would happen. Things happen and you may sometimes be stuck in the middle, even if you didn't do anything. Have friends that are reliable and share the values that you do. When you are around good people then chances are your life will be more positive and you will be happier.

" A good surrounding, is the key to a happy life." -Brandon Zornado

Say no to Drama!

This world is filled with so much drama and it is all because there is no communication. Most people like to do things their own way and if they just talked about it with other's from the beginning then many problems would not occur. I don't like drama, because it is stressful and it is unnecessary. Things won't get out of hand if you control them at first. With a big group of people, everyone is going to have different opinions on things and that is why it is so important to talk about it before you begin anything. Things will go a lot smoother and there will be much less stress. Drama happens for a reason and the way to stop it from happening is to have a plan and communicate it.

Don't be the quiet one!

There will be times in your life when you witness something that shouldn't be happening. I know that most people will keep it to themselves and not say anything, but that will not help the problem. People might not know something is wrong unless they are told. They could go on doing the same old thing when it is not good for them, and they are so use to it that it is hard for them to stop. I believe on doing what is right and making every situation positive. When you see something that should be changed, let it be know and fix the problem.

Hope for Haiti!

The Haitian people are hurting right now. Many families have been heartbroken by the tragedy of the earthquake that just took place in Haiti. At first people who live here in the United States and have families in Haiti didn't know if their family member's were alive or dead. The economy is bad Nation Wide, but we still have our families and our city. Buildings in Haiti are crumbled and what took seconds to destroy will takes years to rebuild. The Haitian Nation needs are help and tonight there was a "Hope for Haiti" special which was live on tv and it will be replayed at 8:00pm on Fox. Over 100 actor's/actresses are running the phone lines for donations. It is a very touching show and I suggest that everyone watch it if they are able to. It will take a lot of work and patience to rebuild what was broken but with our help a little at a time it can happen. I hope on going to Haiti within the next couple months to help out with the kids and the community. It truly breaks my heart to see what they have had to go through and it would be an honor to say that I helped out and it would be an experience that I will never forget. With our support we can give them hope. Find it in your heart to help in anyway.

Karma!

We all have things happen to us that we would rather not, but that is life. Sometimes we are given little breaks in life and we should be thankful for that. Never should we ever take advantage of something though, because it will come back on us. Karma is a real thing and it can happen to anyone. It can be very easy to find loop wholes in things and go the easy way out, but if we do that then what are we learning? We are learning nothing, and if there is something that we want we should work for it. Times are tough these days for a lot of people, but that doesn't mean that we need to make the situation worse by taking from someone else. Be responsible for yourself and don't always take the free ride.

The "Golden Rule"

The " Golden Rule" is, "do onto other's as you wish they would do onto you." The rule should always apply, but especially right now during the Holiday's. We need to be thankful of everything we have and be kind to everyone else out there in the world. I know it can be a very hectic time, but that is no excuse to be grumpy and not be in a good mood. There is so much to enjoy this time of the year and I really get upset when I see someone that looks like they are not enjoying themselves. I have done some promotions this month and I have talked to a lot of different people. I have noticed that many people do not seem happy and they are never smiling. I always like to smile and make other's feel good. So when you come in contact with someone, be happy and be thankful for everything you have.

" One smile can change a stranger's day." -Brandon Zornado

Hope!

Hope is defined as, " the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best." I'm sure that a lot of people in their lives have lost hope along the way. Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to, but that is life. Just because something has not happened exactly the way you want, doesn't mean that you give up on hoping and trying. The simplest thing can make a big difference and when you realize that you can change an entire outcome for the better. People need hope so that they know everything will be ok. The Christmas season is the perfect time to give someone hope and show them that they have something to look forward to.

" Life doesn't always go the way you want, but if you have hope there is always a chance it may." - Brandon Zornado

Admit your weaknesses!

We have all done things in life that we are not proud of. No matter what it is that you have done, do not let it keep you down. Admit your faults and pick yourself back up. People go through phases where they try new things, and sometimes the things that they try are not always the best. I believe everyone deserves a second chance in life. There are a lot of people who have had some really rough upbringings and it is in their ways of life to get into trouble. Sometimes people just need some direction of the way that they should be heading. Everyone should be given the chance to start over and make something of themselves.

There are people that have nothing in this world and have got themselves into all sorts of trouble. Sometimes they just need a friend who is there to comfort them and support them. Do not let things you have done in the past ruin your future. Admit what you have done wrong and learn from the situation.

" Everyone can change for the better, they just need a jump start to power their engine." -Brandon Zornado

Addiction!

In the dictionary the word addiction is described as , " the condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something." There are many things that people can become addicted to. Addictions such as drugs, alcohol, stealing, smoking, betting, abuse etc, can have a very negative outlook on someones life. People think that if they do it one time then it is ok, but they do not realize initially what can happen. When a person becomes addicted to something it can be very hard to stop. I have had close people in my life become addicted to things and I have seen how their life changed drastically for the worse.

I do have to admit that I am currently addicted to things but they are all positive. I am addicted to playing the guitar, hanging out with friends and family, and enjoying my life. Addictions do not have to be bad. If you surround yourself with positive things and people then everything will be fine. It is very important to think about something and the consequences that may occur before you make your decision. There are things that are not worth it and there will be times when you are peer pressured but you do not have to give in. Just make sure that you stand up for what you believe is right.
