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 Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return? Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset? A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested: https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ). We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far. What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process. The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand. Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one. Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward? I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded. If you give money to a homeless man, your act of kindness may not lead to anyt

No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while. Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom. Having money is great, but what are you going to do with your money and newly acquired spare time? We need

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, family, and memories. 📖 Be sure to add S
