Sometimes I give advice. My intention is to never come off as a pretentious ass who knows more than the rest of the room.  Everyone has advice to give and advice is just…advice.  Nobody is forced to make life changes because of something someone said in a witty quote from Facebook or twitter.  Yet, in life, we should all keep an open mind. 

I stumble across messages all the time that inspire me to write something or think deeper about a particular topic.  It’s like watching the Food Network and getting inspired to cook a meal you have never made before.  If something I see, experience or read triggers me to start thinking; I write it down and share it with anyone who cares to read it.  Luckily, people seem to want to read the stuff I put up here.  Thanks by the way.  Its cool to check the stats on my blog and see just how many people gave a crap.  Once again, thank you and feel free to share.  

So instead of taking a quote and putting my own narrative around it, I decided to scroll through twitter over a 24 hour period and pull 10 random quotes or words of advice.  It’s interesting what one can learn about life in 140 characters.  If you like them-share em.  If you don’t-no big deal….they aren’t mine and I won’t be offended.
