SiscoVanilla Hits The Bricks

I came across this phrase from Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem Ulysses in the article Børge Ousland: How I crossed Antarctica alone . The phrase is found on the monument located on Observation Hill, Antarctica in memory of those who died on Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition in March 1912. I find the phrase to be a powerful one for this Friday on a long weekend. We all should work on striving, seeking, finding and not yielding in whatever it is that we choose to do. Be it personal, business or a combination of both. Never stop trying to improve. Never quit. Never give up. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

We all want to improve ourselves in one way, shape or form. But that improvement doesn't come easy not does it come by itself. Not only do we have to initiate the act of improvement, but we have continue to do so, even when the shit hits the fan and we find that we no longer want to do so. As the sign says, Don't Stop!!! Keep Moving Forward!!! Don't Quit!!! You Do You!!! Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

First and foremost, Happy Labor Day. Ok, now that I got that out of the way, as the title to this post suggests: What Significance Does Labor Day Have For Me. Well true believers, Labor Day holds a dear place in my calendar. I am damned appreciative that I have a job, two actually. Shit, I remember (not fondly mind you) being unemployed Labor Day of 2014 and being downright miserable and bordering on desperate (I hit desperate a month later.) I'm grateful for the blessings that have come my way, improving as the years have progressed from 2014 to now. I'm grateful that I have been able to turn the corner from the dark place from where I was to the brighter location where I am today. But I am not one to rest on my laurels. No sir, and neither should all of you who are in a good place. Never stop trying to improve yourself and your place in the world. Keep reading, keep researching, learn new skills, improve on old ones. Increase your value daily. For those of you who are ...

Take it day by day people. Even take it step by step. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks
