Making a Habit of Doing What Failures Don’t Like To Do

Tired I’m exhausted. This picture expresses exactly how I feel. The last thing I want to be doing is writing in my blog. But, I’ve made a commitment to write in my blog every day. Why? Because I believe it’s good for business; I believe that something I have to say might just speak to you; and because I made a commitment to write every day.

My mentor, Bob Proctor, says I should get in the habit of doing what failures don’t like to do. What do failures not like to do? The same thing the rest of us don’t like to do. But, the difference is that with failures, they let their ‘want-to-dos’ win out over what they’ve committed to do. I am NO failure. I am determined to do whatever it takes to reach my goals this year. I plan to do that by doing the things I’ve committed to doing even when I don’t feel like it. I have to change my habits.

I just took my son back to school. It was a very long day with a very long drive. A couple of days ago, before I made this new commitment, I would have come home, kicked off my shoes, and sat in front of the TV. After all, I deserve it after such a long day. Besides, there’s always tomorrow, right? That’s my habit. Today, I am breaking that habit and replacing it with my new habit… my new commitment. I am making a new habit of doing what failures don’t like to do.

I do know that it’s going to take more than just this one success to create this new habit. But, today, I win! I am one day closer to a new habit. One day further away from an old habit. Each day will get easier. Before long, I will have a new habit. I will be writing without even thinking about it. Even when… I’m this… tired… zzzz

Firefox Fixed the Pop-up Window Problem on Dual Monitors

Firefox YAY Firefox!! I upgraded my browser yesterday and FINALLY, the long-time bug that keeps me from opening up a new browser window on my dual monitor is fixed! I am so excited!

I usually work with my text editor open on my iMac screen and Firefox open on my dual monitor. Since I upgraded to Firefox 4, I haven’t been able to open a new browser window while my browser is open on my dual monitor. I finally figured out that if my browser is open on the same monitor where the dock is located, then I can open a new window. But, if the browser is located on the monitor without the dock, then a new window will not open. It was very frustrating since I often press Cmd-U to view the source of a browser page in a new window. As a web developer, that’s an important step in my debugging process.

Since Firefox 4, I’ve had to move my browser to my iMac screen before I could view the source of a page. Uggh. Since I do this several times a day, or even several times an hour, it can add up to quite a bit of frustrating, wasted time.

Yesterday I upgraded to Firefox 9.01 and I can open a new window on my dual monitor! This makes me VERY happy!!! Thank you Firefox!

If you need me today, I may sitting at my desk just pressing Cmd-U over and over and over again… Just because I CAN!

Starting 2012 Out Right!

Bible StudyI’ve worked hard this past month getting my Bible Study site up and running. I still have several enhancements that I want to add. The more I use the site, the more things I think of to add to it. I’m also hoping for suggestions from other users of the site.

My prayer is that the site will be inspiring and uplifting for those who chose to utilize it. If it somehow touches one heart or helps one soul, then my goal has been reached.

I’ve had a lot of fun putting the site together! The more I work on it, the more fun it gets! I can’t wait for all the comments and interaction to start. So, come join us to discuss the Bible. You can read through it this year or you can spread it out or condense it to any length of study you want.

Start 2012 in THE Word! http://bible.cindycullen.com

Domains Name Prices Go Up in January

VeriSign, the authoritative registry for .com and .net has announced that there will be a price increase January 15, 2012. That means that I’ll need to raise my domain name prices as well. It probably means that most other domain registrars will be raising prices around that time too. I’ll change the prices on my site on January 14, 2012.

You should go renew or transfer your domains before the price hike! To avoid other price hikes in upcoming years, you can register a domain name for up to 10 years at the current price.

Go lock in your prices today here!

Design Internship Available

web design internI’m looking for a good web designer. There may be some print design work as well, but I’m looking primarily for web design. I need someone with photoshop skills. Formal experience is not required, but I prefer you know how to work with photoshop pretty well and have some natural abilities with design.

I prefer interns because I enjoy mentoring and training, but I’m willing to pay a good price for the right person.

I would like to find someone who is available and flexible. I prefer someone local to the Nashville/Dickson area, but it is a remote internship or contract position.

This is a great opportunity for students. Especially if you are interested in free-lance work or starting your own business when you get out of school.

If you are interested, contact me here: http://cullenws.com/contact with rates and availability.
