WHO’S APPROVAL DO YOU NEED?

By at January 31, 2012 | 11:58 am | 1 Comments

Not only is it important that we  know who we are but it is as equally important that we know who's approval we need. Knowing whose we are is a must if we want clarification on who's approval we need. The need for approval is a part of human nature, so the question is never whether or not we need it. The important question is "who do we need it from?" Who do we want to

Ask Aaron – Spoon feeding…we ARE adults aren’t we?

Many years ago when I was very inexperienced in life and was dealing with the heart break of losing my girl friend of three years I found myself out on a date with a very lovely NFL Cheerleader. The date was fun and we ended up back at her apartment. One thing lead to another and much to my surprise we were about to take it all the way. As we got extremely close to the

By at January 24, 2012 | 2:58 pm | 1 Comments

Happiness. We all want it and some spend a lifetime trying to find it. My take on it is that happiness cannot be found but instead must come on it's own. But how can we be sure that it will come? Search for your purpose in life and dwell in the fulfillment your purpose brings, and in the midst of that fulfillment will lie the happiness you've always longed for. It

The truth of the matter is that no matter what journey one will take in life to reach their ultimate goals, you will find at the core of every desired goal, the need for a true peace of mind. Satisfaction in reaching the full capacity of any goal can only be found when one has the ability to obtain such peace. And how do you obtain it? One word. Truth. There are some

Ask Aaron – No more good men?

By at January 17, 2012 | 10:45 am | 11 Comments

No more good men? In the past I use to take offense, but now I laugh when I see women posting comments online about there being no good men available, or hear women talking about how hard it is to find a good man out there.
