Be Grateful

Hi everyone! I hope this day has treated everyone well!

I wanted to send out a reminder today. That reminder is about being grateful. Spend some time today thinking about things or people you are thankful for.

Some simple examples are:
-Your parents
-Your siblings
-Family
-Our 5 senses
-Your washer and dryer

And the list goes on. Just take time each day to think of at least one thing you are grateful for and this will change your perspective on a lot of things.

You will notice more patience, happiness, and other good feelings.

Start today!

Much love,

Erik Bustillo!

Remember that life is not an emergency

Happy Day to everyone! It is Friday and I want to share this with all of you Do-Gooders out there!

Remember that life is not an emergency. Perceived problems will arise and all we can do is handle them. No need to panic. No need to think life is over, because it most likely is not.

Also, remember to be kind today and everyday.

Enjoy this video that a good friend shared with me.

United we Stand, Divided we Fall

Happy day to everyone! I hope this day brings you all great happiness and good things.

Some of you may be aware that today marks 14 years since the 9-11-2001 terror attacks on our country. This is a day that we will never forget. We will never forget where we were. We will never forget how we felt. We will never forget that day.

But I am writing today to uplift us all. This was a day where loss was experienced and pain was felt. We must never forget how we felt when this occurred. We seem to forget things quite easily... When 9/11 happened, just about EVERYONE in this country was about helping, uniting, and being there for one another. WE MUST PRACTICE BEING KIND TO ONE ANOTHER ON A REGULAR BASIS. It is unfortunate that times of loss are what cause us to come together.

With social media, we can MAKE GOOD HAPPEN... ALL THE TIME! Sure, it takes practice, but so does getting good at a sport, or talking to girls, or writing, or being a good firefighter/police office, or being a good lawyer, etc. etc. etc.!!!

Please everyone, I'm asking you all to uplift one another. We don't need a terror attack to make this happen. Just DO GOOD!

Have a wonderful day.

Much love to ya,

Erik Bustillo

We Have to Learn to Enjoy Each Day

Good morning my friends! I have a short story to share with you all to help share perspective.

This morning in the office I said hello to a fellow co-worker and she said "hello Erik."
"How are you?" I asked. "It's Friday. And a long weekend," she replied....

I never got an answer to my question. Well, I did, and the assumption is that she is doing well and is happy because today is Friday and it is Labor Day Weekend (no work on Monday). Does this mean she is not well when it is not Friday or the weekend? Probably not, but this helps make my point today. We have to enjoy each day as it comes. We are always so focused on the outcome that we forget the process.. i.e. we forget to enjoy Tuesday because we are so focused on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday....

BUT THEN SUNDAY ARRIVES AND WE ARE UPSET BECAUSE TOMORROW IS MONDAY!!!

You see what we're doing there?!

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Take each day as it comes and enjoy it for what it's worth. Tomorrow does not exist... yet.

- Erik Bustillo :-)
