Healthy Living. The beginning journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

This year I want to start taking steps towards a more healthy lifestyle. If you're anything like myself, you've probably found yourself stuck in at a point where you feel like your overall health has declined due to a culmination of eating habits, lack of exercise, stress, busy work schedule, etc. I know how it is and believe me, making major change is never easy. However, the overall trait that's lacking, which keeps one from reaching their goal of a healthy life is discipline. Speaking for myself, I know I lack discipline with it comes to many things such as work, diet, drinking, smoking, sleep studying, and money.  I'm a mess, I know that. The good thing is that I recognize the areas in my life that need work and I'm willing to take the necessary steps to improve them.

I think an important aspect to living a more healthy life is self-love and self-respect.  In order to live healthier you have to love and respect yourself enough to say no to things that might give immediate joy or satisfaction but hurts you in the long run.  Invest in yourself and look at yourself as an entity that has no limits.  The more you work on yourself the more capable you will become at reaching new levels, going to new places, and overcoming bigger challenges.  Be living a more healthy lifestyle you will feel better and live better. Hopefully some of the new healthy habits that you create leads into more positive changes in your life.  I hope it does mine. So with that, I'm going to start my journey towards a new and more healthy lifestyle.  I look forward to sharing my progress (or failure) with you all.

"A Fresh Start. Welcome 2014"

I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  I'm just enjoying my last day off while I'm at home watching the Outback Bowl.  I do feel more wiser and more prepared for 2014.  2013 was not a bad year but it could have been a lot better.  I take full blame for not making the most of the year. This year I want to make the most out of all 365 days in the year.  A few weeks ago I had a talk with my sister and I realized that I was not good at keeping to my goals.  I always set good goals for myself but I lack the discipline to follow through.  This year I want to change that.  This is not a goal, this is a habit that I want to break.  I want to be more focused and more dedicated to my career and to my family.  I also want tobe more open to new friends and new experiences such as love.  I've never been very good at relationships and so I also want to break the habit of not being committed.  It's always scary when you do not know what to expect but that's part of the fun in life.  You never know what to expect.  All you can do just enjoy the ride.  I look forward to 2014.  I know it will be a great year.  I'm claiming it now and I hope you do too.  Set your goals and carry them out.  Take each day at a time and enjoy life.  Keep your mind and heart open because the best joys of life are the moments that we remember and enjoy with loved ones.  I'm excited and look forward to a good year.  Let's go 2014, I welcome you with open arms.  This is life as we know it.

I'm Back!!!!

Greetings readers.  I am finally back after a long break from blogging.  It's good to be back and to be able to share my thoughts and experiences with you all once again.  I just want to say that 2013 is already going by way too quick! I was fortunate enough to start 2013 in Lagos, Nigeria with my family.  It was my second time traveling to Africa and to Nigeria but I had not been there since I was a small kid.  It was pretty amazing.  It was great to see all of my family.  People came from all over to visit us.  Nigeria is a very beautiful country.  The weather was very nice during the time we went. The people of Nigeria are beautiful and welcomed us warmly (although Nigeria does have its fair share of problems and issues).  We had a good time and were glad to return back to States.
              Now's back to reality and back to the grind.  At least the unemployment rate is slightly going down but America still has a long way to go.  We need to advocate more innovation and entrepreneurship.  This country needs new ideas that will create new jobs and opportunities.  It's times to turn to things around and I believe that it can be done if the government and people can find common ground and focus on the same objectives.  I'm not a political person but I'm just speaking on the things I've noticed.  Speaking of politics though, I'm glad to see Dennis Rodman and the Harlem Globetrotters had a safe and successful trip to North Korea.  Nice move USA. Last thing we need right now is another war so being diplomatic and finding common ground was a smart way to go.
            I do hope that the violence, especially in America reduces and eventually stops.  I know I'm not the only one that's tired of hearing about innocent children being murdered by nut jobs or helpless people being slaughtered.  It's getting pretty real out there!  Time to take responsibility of each other and do what's right.  This year I want to keep a positive energy and stay focused.  I read somewhere that your thoughts are powerful and that they are small waves of energy that goes out into the universe.  So basically, they have the snowball effect and so the energy that is sent out returns in greater force...Now I do not know if this is truth or not but if it is then I want good things coming my way so I'm going to start giving out good energy and vibes and being more positive.  I DO believe that your attitude affects your environment around you.  So either way, being positive seems more appealing then being negative. On the that note I'm going to leave with some words of encouragement. Life is not always positive.  There are good times and bad but that's what makes it beautiful.  In life, you should find something you love or love to do and share it with others because that's what defines you.  It's been fun guys, this is life as w know it...peace.
     

Dreams N Ambitions Clothing Line

Hello world! How have you been since I've been gone? It's been quite a while since I posted anything on my blog but it feels good to be writing again. This time I have some news to share. I am currently in the process of launching my brand new clothing line and brand name, Dreams N Ambitions clothing!!! My partner and close friend of mine and myself came up with the idea to launch a clothing line about 11 months ago. We just talking like we normally do when we came up with the idea to start a clothing line called DNA clothing. Originally, the DNA represented Dennis and Amaobi, which would be the acronyms for our name but we did not think it would be very marketable. Why would anyone else care who Dennis is Amaobi are and what they'll selling right?? Sooo, after some brainstorming and heavy thinking, I came up with the name Dreams N Ambitions, and the rest is history. Dreams N Ambitions is designed for everyone to wear and enjoy. Who doesn't have dreams and ambitions?? If do not have a dream then you should find one. It's what keeps you motivated to live and keep going. Ambition gives us the push we need to do things we may be afraid of or doubt we can do. This is more than a brand or a clothing line, Dreams N Ambitions is a way of life and I ,proudly, would like to share THIS dream with the world! Mo Skrillz, DNA Founder
