I AM LEARNING A LOT ABOUT MYSELF THESE PAST 3 MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVEN’T HAD ANY ALCOHOL. I DIDN’T REALIZE THAT I DRANK TO ESCAPE MY EMOTIONS RATHER THAN DEAL WITH THEM. I ALSO HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT SUCCEED IN LIFE. THEY HAVE LEARNED TO MANAGE THEIR EMOTIONS, TIME, AND MONEY. MOST ARE VERY ACTIVE AND MANAGE AN EQUAL BALANCE BETWEEN THEIR MINDS, BODY, AND SPIRIT. BY MANAGING THESE BASIC ACTS, EVERYTHING ELSE FALLS INTO PLACE BY DOING THINGS IN WAYS THAT MAKE SENSE TO THEM. THIS IS NORMALLY WHERE THEY SEPARATE FROM THE PACK. THEIR NORMAL MINDSET IS TO THINK THOUGHTS THAT DO NOT APPLY TOWARDS THE NORMAL RELM OF THINKING. NORMAL IS USING OUR 5 SENSES TO MAKE DECISIONS. WHAT WE CAN SEE, HEAR, TOUCH, SMELL, AND TASTE, THIS IS THE BASIS OF ALL RATIONAL THINKING. THESE PEOPLE BASE THEIR THINKING ON WHAT IS NOT THERE, WHAT IS NOT REAL, WHAT THEY DON’T HAVE AND THIS TRIAN OF THOUGHT TRIGGARS A POWERFUL ENGINE THAT RUNS FULL STEAM UNTIL THEIR UNREAL THOUGHTS BECOME REALITY. I AM ON TRACK TO MAKING THIS MY REALITY. I HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO. I AM IN THE PROCCESS IN BALANCING MY MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. I’M LEARNING TO MANAGE MY OWN EMOTIONS, TIME, AND MONEY. I AM STARTING TO LET GO OF THE NORMAL WAYS OF THINKING. THERE ARE MANY OBSTICALS IN LIFE, IF YOU CAN AVOID BEING ONE OF THEM YOU’RE CHANCES FOR SUCCESS IS UNLIMITED!

my hero!
Last night I dreamed with my brother. I was about 8 years old and he was playing in an alstar game. He started as the catcher and finished the game pitching the last 2 innings. He went 4 for 4 with 2 doubles a triple and a home run with 6 strike outs. People treated me better knowing that I was his little brother. He was and always will be my hero!
When I have a hard day sometimes I can hear him pushing to do better, to give it all I have. He treated me badly I use to think, but know I see he only wanted me to do my very best. I forget sometimes how wonderful the world is, how special my relationships are.
Thank you big brother.

Take my challenge
I am at a point in my life where I am asking myself how can I better myself. How can I do all the things I want to do. How can I see all the places I want to see. How can I be a better father, husband. How can I get all out of life that I want. I keep getting the same answer.
Stop doing the things that are defeating your wants.
WTF! What does that mean?
Stop the things you do that bring temporary wants rather than the true wants you truly desire.
So, I stopped drinking for a month. it was the first time I went camping without drinking. I actually relaxed and caught up on the needed rest my body needed. Then, I changed the way I ate food. I limited the amounts of food I stuffed down my throat. And in a month I’ve lost 10lbs. lastly, I started focusing on what I do and where I want to take it. Everything that I had been meaning to do toward getting out on my own I started doing. Business I needed to take care of, calls I needed to make. Then something weird happened. I started making money.
Weird! Is getting what you want really that easy?
I am living proof that living toward your wants and desires is better than reliving the same cycle week after week chasing shadows that aren’t there. Men are programmed from birth to compete. Then to turn 21 and begin dosing ourselves to feel numb. Society fools us into believing that this is living. Round and round we go. Most men can handle drinking in moderation, but how often and frequent does the pain go.
Take my challenge. Can you stop doing the things that are defeating your wants and desires? For three months, choose to not consume alcohol, eat moderately, fit in some exercise and most of all focus on what you want to accomplish, what you have been meaning to do or start. See if the cloud, the fog, the haze, goes away, see what I see. Life is meant for so much more than what is advertised. Make your mark in this world. It is the only shot you have. Cool.

What are you really worth?
Facing the facts of life that you have made for yourself are the first steps in determining whether you’re at a place you want to be or not. Most of the time I live life as it comes. As long as the basics are covered. Food, shelter, clothing, transportation. Then I handle money in the same way. If there is money left after the basics are covered then bonus, let’s go to dinner. I love spending money. I hate saving money. I hate paying bills. I hate talking about money. What? You want me to give money away? Isn’t it funny how easy it is to pay for things that unexpectedly come up. You have no money to pay for bills, but if your transmission goes out, bam! There is the money. Have to, and want to, are 2 totally different characteristics.
We are programmed to think this way. Buy things we don’t need, miss payments and pay fees.
My worries always become real the more I focus on them. So the question is. Why worry?
What do I worry about:
Money going out,
Not enough money coming in,
Can I afford it?
What am I confident about:
I will always bring an income home,
I will always provide for my family,
About my abilities and myself worth,
What is the difference between worry and confidence? It is the belief that I will. I will worry about not having enough, but at the same time I will always have enough to provide.
My belief has to be stronger in myself worth. I am worth 100 times what I’m currently worth. This would put me at six million a year. Is it impossible? No way! People are making that right now! We have been programmed from birth to live within our means. Not to rock the boat. Not to want too much, you’ll only set yourself up to fail.
Now is the time to face the facts. We are undervalued. We are modern slaves working for lowest amount that owners are willing to pay. Think about it. Let’s say your car is worth $30,000. It should be 15% of your yearly income which puts your income at $200,000. Your mortgage should be 10% of your income. If your making a $2000 a month payment you should be making $240,000 a year. We are over taxed, underpaid, undervalued, and being bled dry by the banks and creditors.
Make a new belief in yourself worth. Make it real, as real as your old worries of not having enough. The new middle class should be making $200,000 a year. Everyone else is being left behind.
By the way, if you make $80,000 a year, $200,000 a year is only 2.5 times more than what you’re currently worth. Our lives are worth a fortune right now. You might have an idea that could start a new wave of products. You may have an invention that could revolutionize the economy. You might have the next chicken soup book that could help millions. What are you really worth?

The best teacher
I often wonder how it is that some people have the abilities that others do not. What makes an exceptional athlete, musician, artist, composer, and entrepreneur. Are people predestined for this, or do these people use a power that exists in all of us. talent can only get you so far. It is the mental toughness that gets you all the way to the top by controlling emotions, invoking burning desires to be the best, positive visualizations, and most of all, never giving up.
Along the way, we have many coaches teaching us how to play, but it is you that has to take this information and apply it. It is you that is your greatest coach. Those that understand how to take information and apply it will succeed. It is as simple as that. Isn’t that how school works. Teachers pass you information, you read, you listen, your write. What are tests? They’re you’re interpretations of the studied materials. It is you that learns, it is you that tells you what you have learned. The teachers understand this process, and enjoy what they do so much.
The best teacher we will ever have is ourselves. No one can force us to learn, we learn as a result of our own desires to learn. The greater that desire the greater results we will have. Depending on how strong your wants are, you can do or achieve anything.

Hero on the 91
I saw a story about a handicapped man who’s van caught on fire. One person stopped to help out of thousands that just drove by unaware of a life about to be extinguished. This man pulled the disabled person to safety. I have always asked myself, can one man make a difference? The answer is yes. This act, not only saved a life, but a families way of life. The loss of life is an assurance. We only have limited time here on earth in our bodies. We are all a part of the earth made of the same material. We all are a sense, part of the same earth family. We can make a difference now by being aware of those that might need our help now. If you saw your brother or sister that needed help pushing their car out of the street you would not hesitate. We have one world, that we are all from, that we are made up of the same stuff. We have grown much like the plants and trees, mountains and oceans. We drink the same water, breathe the same air and benefit from our abundant Sun. And when we die, we will all be returned to the earth and our spirit will rejoin the earth’s forces. We choose our way of life, help someone in need and your return will be…. Well you will have to find out for yourself. I think the giving of your time is worth more than any dollar amount. Who knows, maybe it will be you that will save a life.

What you can do!
The question is : What is it that you want to do?
And I keep coming back with I want to change the world.
Now how do you change the world?
Obviously in a positive way. There are people starving, homeless, sick, and uneducated.
With no money, how do you start something like this on such a large scale?
You start by inspiring yourself, then one person at a time. The world has shown us many examples of great people that made a difference in the world whether by invention or rights or religion.
These people are great. What is so great about you?
Nothing more than a simple thought to make the world a better place for all. I don’t want to be anything more than I already am. Happy, full of joy, and love in my heart. The idea of being more than that is silly. I am nobody special. I have sinned before and probably will sin again. I am nothing more than a regular person with a thought and a drive to make it a reality.
What will you tell others to inspire them?
I would say, let go of the past and look to a future that anything is possible. Everyone has a dream. Even if that dream seems impossible it is yours. There is a war going on and it is being fought in your head. Good versus Evil, right between your ears. Positive thoughts and feelings are Good, Negative thoughts and feelings are Bad. How is it that people are either on one side of the scale or the other. Why is wealth and prosperity side of the scale only 5% and everyone else on the poverty side? We are not living in sync as the world turns.
I will say that of which I have come to learn that unless we all come to the realization that our thoughts and actions are directly responsible for where we are at this present moment. I would say to them by making simple adjustments keeping joy the main focus in all that you do, will bring your thoughts in tune like a magnet attracting all that you desire into your life. Our thoughts are glimmers of the past present and future all tumbling about in our heads. As we begin to become in tune, our thoughts begin to line up and a power begins flowing though our bodies. This flow can produce everything we want and need to survive on this planet.
When we continue to live out of sync with the worlds forces the opposite occurs. We become lost, searching for higher aspirations. Lives become frustrated, filled with sorrow and anger. Life becomes a daily struggle. We become attached to objects or possessions and become fearful of losing them. let go of this way of life. It will only lead to more of the same. Many people have made it from far less than what we were blessed with. All Americans are blessed with a great beginning, a birth in a hospital. A majority of human beings do not have this luxury.
Think for a second. Every animal has instincts for survival. Birds fly South in the winter to avoid death from freezing, animals migrate to fruitful areas depending on seasons or they would starve in the burning deserts. What is ours? Our consciousness. When in sync with our world, it becomes magnetized flowing though our bodies healing us, feeding us, sheltering us, and feeding our desires. This is living without negative thoughts and bad feelings. Control your emotions, calm your mind, grasp your positive thoughts, go after your dreams with a burning desire and see The question is : What is it that you want to do?

A New Story
I have always told myself that I am a good person. For this I have become the person that I am. I am proud to say I have lived an honest life. I also told myself that I never have money to buy the things I’ve always wanted. To this day, I still want that boat. It is funny the little things we tell ourselves that make the difference in wanting and having. From now on, I am telling a new story. A story that does not include things like; I never, I can’t, how come, Why can’t I and I’m always broke. For a long time I’ve been told, “say what you want , get what you want”. It’s funny how that is always pointed out when it relates to negative feelings. Why don’t we point out the positive side of the saying? In life we are great teachers of others. It is what we teach ourselves that proves to be the secret to life.
