The First Blog - Nice to Meet You!

     To whoever reads this, welcome!  This is the first blog post I have ever attempted to write, so bear with me as I am still learning.  Let me introduce myself.  My name is Scanlon (SCAN-LIN), and I am an avid writer who is looking to help people, to make them laugh, and to make them smile.  To some, that may seem cheesy, but I honestly love to help people, and I have always believed that the best way to do that is through my writing.


     I enjoy writing about life and its mysteries.  I often look deeper into things than the average 
person, and I always find the best in people, giving them the benefit of the doubt.  I try my best to understand everyone’s situations, viewpoints, and opinions, because at the end of the day, there are multiple answers to the same question.  I look at life as science, everything is theoretical, the only conclusion is that there is more to learn.

     The goal of this blog is to share my thoughts and beliefs with people who may find comfort in my words.  I am no expert on anything, but I am just like you, just a person trying to find their way, taking it one day at a time.  If I could give you one piece of advice in this introductory blog post, it’s that everyone has problems, and more often than not what you are going through is something others have gone through.  You are not alone and never will be.  Together, we will find some common good in this world and make the most out of it, because in a world which can be so dark, we need light.  Writing is my light, so are my family and friends.  If something makes you happy, and it doesn’t cause any harm to you or others, hold onto it.  You know yourself better than anyone, and you deserve to be happy.  Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.  That is why I write.  I know myself, and I know that I am not the only one who could think the way I do, so here, today, I am looking for those who want to listen, maybe even learn something in the process.

     If what I have said interests you, then consider sticking around.  There is more to come.  If you have anything you would like me to talk about in a blog post, whether it be advice or a crazy fact you heard the other day, I would love to hear about it!  I look forward to hearing from all of you and to start this journey.  It’s going to be a wild ride, but it will be a memorable one.  Thank you for reading.  I’ll be seeing you.

The Importance of Taking Baby Steps

     Have you ever set a goal for yourself only to lose interest later down the line?   This happens to a lot of people and is usually the result of biting off more than you can chew.   Contrary to popular belief, multitasking is not something people can do.   If we don’t focus on one particular subject at a time, the quality of what we are doing will suffer.   This is why I encourage everybody to take baby steps when it comes to goal setting.   Do not set multiple goals at once and expect to follow through with every single one at once.   Doing this will decrease the motivation to continue because you feel less likely to succeed the more overworked you feel.      Think of the goals you have set for yourself in the past or present.  Now, take one particular goal and focus on it.  Keep the others in mind but focus on your chosen one in particular.  Once you succeed at achieving this goal, choose another one....

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...
