Travel – Explore the World you live in
Traveling is one thing that many people do not get to do, but they should. Traveling in itself gives you the opportunity to not only explore different countries, but different cultures as well. It is not easy for outsiders to begin to understand the differences in cultures, until you experience it for yourself. From Humble [...]
Concentrate on God
You don’t have to look far these days to see the name of God being used in an ill-contrived lesson. People use the name of God, for what appears to be, all the wrong reasons. The biggest thing that I’ve noticed is that not only has our nation appeared to be moving away from God, [...]
Quit trying to be like Everyone Else
There’s no doubt that many people try to fit in with what they think is popular at the time. Whether you buy the fashion trends, try to become more like people who seem to have everything or just try to change yourself to be more like the “norm,” you are doing yourself a disservice. Why [...]
Screw political correctness
As a political operative, its my job to call out issues and movements with which I disagree. While I will call out an individual for delivering what I consider to be a wrong message, I try not to call out people out for their morals. I don’t want to rock the boat too much and [...]
Push Digital
When most people hear the word “data,” either their eyes glaze over or they start thinking about their favorite re-run of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Data is boring. It isn’t sexy. It isn’t fun. But it is THE most important trend in tech right now, and if you don’t take it seriously, you’re going [...]
Are you a prophet? Or are you making dumb arguments?
Pro-life activists often use a passage from Jeremiah to argue that life begins at conception. Jeremiah 1:5 states: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” Except that’s not all it says. The Lord’s full declaration to Jeremiah is: “Before I formed you in the [...]
Concentrate On What You Are Good At
One of the most important lessons that a person – including myself – has to learn is that there is only so much time in the day. You don’t want to waste your time focusing on BS work when there are more pressing matters that will have more of an effect on your success. Utilize [...]
Concentrate on Relationships
Relationships are very important and we will inevitably begin new ones throughout our lives. Whether these relationships are personal or business in nature, there are surefire rules that will help you create and foster successful endeavors. Rule #1: Invest in People In business, there are two guidelines – hire slowly, fire quickly. You want to [...]
Concentrate on Your Body
I’m back from my trip to Israel, the SC legislative session is in full swing and our Internet shop is starting to get swamped again. Before the craziness of 2013 begins, I want to continue my Man Project summary (http://www.wesleydonehue.com/2012/12/13/the-man-project/). Last week (http://www.wesleydonehue.com/2012/12/31/concentrate-on-your-mind/), I stressed the importance of concentrating on your mind to keep it [...]
You of little faith
‘It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Gihon spring and channeled the water down to the west side of the City of David.” – 2 Chronicles 33:30 The story of King Hezekiah can be found in the books of Isaiah, 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. He is not a fictional character. We [...]
Concentrate on Your Mind
Hello from Tiberias, Israel. We are having such a great time learning more about the Bible, this great promised land and the history behind the stories most of us have heard our whole lives. In taking some time off, especially after something as stressful as an election cycle (that started super early because of the [...]
How to act on that overwhelming to-do list
When reading this blog, please don’t mistake me for being one of those guys who believes he knows everything. I don’t. Hell, I barely know anything. I have, however, taken it upon myself to learn some things, specifically how to solve problems in the most efficient way possible. Some people call that “lifehacking,” a term [...]
How To Be More Interesting according to Forbes
Merry Christmas! I love this day because after spending time with family, I get to catch up on some reading. Here’s a great article I ran across on Forbes, explaining how to be more interesting in 10 simple steps. Read the entire article here. 1. Go exploring. 2. Share what you discover. 3. Do something. [...]
Develop the Courage to Step Outside your Comfort Zone
Our comfort zones are our safe place, and venturing outside of this comfort zone is enough to create discomfort, anxiety and sometimes, even full blown panic attacks. Despite this, it is necessary to do; otherwise you will never go anywhere. Growing up Poor I’m very open about my past as a child; I come from [...]
Focus on Experiences, Not Money
Many people are driven by money, thinking that the root of happiness lies within the more money you make. This is one of the biggest misconceptions that I can think of. Money does not buy happiness, it is the experiences you have throughout your life that create happiness money just affords you the luxury of [...]
Set Goals. Measure. Succeed.
“Decide What to Be and Go Be It” Anyone who is familiar with The Avett Brothers will recognize this lyric from their song “Road Full of Doubt, Head Full of Promises.” The reason for adding this lyric to my website header is simple – it has come to summarize my idea for life and the [...]
The Streets of Heaven Are Too Crowded with Angels
If there is anything, anything at all that I learned over the past few years, it is that life is short. It’s way too short. Last week Senator DeMint announced his retirement from the United States Senate. Since then, I’ve been thinking nonstop about my mother. Why would a US Senate resignation make me think [...]
The Man Project
Last August I began blogging with the intention of having you follow along – and join in – on my journey as I spent the next year making small, but effective changes that would allow me to become the man I want to be. This project was supposed to be a year-long project that ended [...]
How to Travel Overseas for Two Weeks with only a Bookbag
Nothing can ruin a trip like too much baggage and uncomfortable clothes. I’ve traveled to Europe with too much crap on previous occasions. I literally walked around Paris with bloody shoes because I wanted to look like a stylish European and I’ve traveled to Hawaii with a heavy book bag full of magazines, books and [...]
How (and why) I’m cleaning up my social networks
I may have unfriended you on Facebook. Don’t take it personally. It’s not that I don’t like you. I’m sure you are a fantastic human being. But how can I like you when I don’t even know you? The truth is that my social networks have become too cluttered. I did the polite thing and [...]
