How 30 minutes more per Morning Changed my Life - Part 4

Spirit
          I guess I could have seen the connection between the physical and mental when I started as I am sure there is plenty of research to back up the claim. However, what I did not expect was the tremendous spiritual growth I would experience along the way. While I could see how this is less connected to my newfound routine, I still believe that a line can be drawn back to the physical work.

          I consider myself to be a strong person of faith, and I know that my relationship with God has been stronger than it has ever been, but I believe that this relationship (like any relationship) requires work and maintenance. In a way, I believe I had gotten lazy in my faith in that I did not put in the effort to grow my connection with Him; I had just been settled in to a routine. So, as I began to feel a change in me, I began to channel the positivity in to my faith, and the results have been amazing.

          Each morning on my drive to work, I listen to K-LOVE and let the songs of worship uplift my day before it even begins, but now I feel His message coming through each song. I take this time to just listen to Him and appreciate everything He has given me, and because of this, I can live even better in his image. This allows me to be a better person from the inside out; this also relates to the mental growth I have felt over the time. I have begun to truly live as He wants me to by judging less, appreciating more, and being more respectful of everything and everyone.


          The spiritual growth I have felt throughout this time has been tremendous, and my relationship with Him has been greater than I could have ever imagined. I feel him with me at all times, and I listen to what he is saying at any given moment of the day. I know he is there by the love I feel with Abigayle and the way I see the world. While I believe that this could have been achieved at any time, the motivation I have felt from my workout has pushed me to change, and it has led me to the heights I have reached now.

Trust Indicators and Fake News

It is no secret that we have a significant "Fake News" problem in the world today. Before everyone starts preparing their defenses for their favorite news sources, let me clarify that I am not talking about "Biased News". As much as President Trump likes to say it, CNN is not actually "Fake News" and neither is FOX, NBC, ABC, et cetera. Biased as these sites may be at times (mostly all the time), the news they are reporting is based in fact; it just has a very biased spin. I would think that functioning adults would be able to tell the difference between: "Trump signs healthcare reform in to law causing issues for middle-class" and "Trump seen punching babies on his way out of gentleman's club" While there is no way for me to know if the second statement ever happened (I highly doubt it), I would assume that most people would understand that one is fake and one is biased. Unfortunately, we seem to have reached a point that peop...

iPhone 7

It is that time again: Apple has launched a new iPhone, and the masses will flock tomorrow to get their hands on the "best one yet". However, I believe that this line is beginning to be slightly misleading. Is it the best iPhone? Yes. Is it the best phone? I would say no. At the same time, I do believe that it is a solid device. Admittedly, I have not had an iPhone since 4; I also had a MacBook Pro and iPad 2 at the time. I used to be fully in the iCorner. I believed that the ecosystem they designed was unbeatable, and their hardware was second-to-none. These days I have a slightly different perspective. That is a different story, however. Let's look at the iPhone 7 (and plus) just on its own merits. In the days of 6" plus screens, built in DSLR's (hyperbole), and pixel-less screens, the iPhone is a jack-of-all trades, master of none. I have not personally tested the phone, but like all tech announcements, I watched the live streaming event. I did not see any...

Mobile payments are the future, but how long will it take for us to get there?

We are all understandably protective of our money right? We conceal our cash when we are forced to open our wallets, keep our pin numbers to ourselves, and certainly do not just hand our credit cards off to just anyway. So, along those lines, I am curious how we as a society feel about mobile payments. Now, because I try to keep this blog open and understandable to all, I will not talk about the encryption of mobile payment nor the process of virtual card numbers and the like. I am curious as to the perception of the average person. Personally, I am all for mobile payment, and I love the convenience of simply pulling out my phone and then being on my way. I never have to worry about pulling out my card, trying to figure out whether to slide it or insert it, typing in my number, putting my pin number in, pulling it back out and in my wallet, and putting my wallet away; when I am waiting in line, I often already have my phone out anyway. There is so much potential in mobile payment. ...
