For He Shall Not Be Disappointed.

When was the last time you gave any serious thought to your priorities, and where you expend your energy? Can you say with certainty that you are completely focused on ‘abundance’ and not on ‘lack’?

I don’t think people are born with an abundance mentality or a lack mentality. I think for many of us our priorities are the result of subtle, subconscious ‘programming’ that determines our approach to just about everything in life. Instead of being programmed for success, most people are programmed to avoid failure.

This programming controls how you react to hundreds of situations, each and every day. And the way you react reveals what your programming really is.There are many different warning signs all around us that we are suffering from lack programming or a poverty mentality, but none of these red flags will be of any use until we open our eyes and start looking for them.Like posted traffic signs and speed limits, these warning signs are there for our benefit, helping us raise awareness of our programming. Three of the most common warning signs I see are the following:

Warning sign #1: Constant Money Fixation What do you think about money? When you do think about it, are you concerned about how much of it you lack, or how much you can manifest? Have you ever thought about why you want to manifest money in the first place?

Most poor people spend all their time thinking about money (or more specifically, their lack of it). 

Warning sign #2: "I Hate Rich People!" Being jealous of all the things other people had That’s when the real problems start, because as much as you hate rich people, you  are working hard every day trying to become one! That sets the stage for a whole bunch of internal conflict. 

Warning sign #3: Fear-Based Decision-Making Making decisions based on fear of loss or failure never leads toward prosperity.In fact, fear-based decision-making can rob you of any sense of happiness or joy of success, and distort your behavior.

Have you ever seen someone experience more anguish at losing $10 than earning $100? Ever seen someone drive around a parking lot for 10 minutes to avoid a one-minute walk to the store?

These scenarios are fear-based, not prosperity driven. The decisions are not made on what the possible benefits are, but made in order to avoid a possible negative outcome.

How do you know what kind of programming you have? If you really want to know if you have prosperity programming or a poverty mentality, look for your answer in the previous scenarios. Do they sound familiar?

If you make decisions--particularly money and career ones--based on the "moving away from fear" model, you’ve got poverty programming. If your decisions are made based on a positive "move toward prosperity" model, then you have success programming.

The more you experience success and prosperity, the more you’ll start to realize how little they have to do with opportunity, chance, luck--or even training, education, or skill. It has everything to do with consciousness, beliefs, and even subconscious programming that you aren’t aware of.

You see, poverty is not an absence of money and things -- it is a mindset.

Prosperity is not an abundance of money and things--it’s also a mindset.

Six In The Morning

Men love strip clubs! If there is something I have learned in life, it's that there is no easier way to get a smile out of a man than by mentioning strip joints or strippers. We love to discuss whom we saw and what we did. It's a private world that men relish and women fear.

We come creeping into the house at 6:00am, quiet as a mouse, trying our best to remain inconspicuous. The last thing you want is a confrontation -- especially since you pumped a few beers into your system.

But no matter how quiet you thought you were being, on go the lights and there's your woman, staring at you as though she's expecting the ground to open up and swallow you whole.

"Where were you? You were at that strip bar with Dj Jesus, weren't you? I've always hated that stupid Neanderthal. So did you like all those breasts? How can you disrespect me like that?"

And now you have to spend the rest of the night assuring her that you were just having fun with the boys.

WHY IS SHE SO MAD?

So what is it about strip joints that tick women off so much? Well, for starters, let's place you in your woman's shoes and vice versa. If your woman went out to male strip joints with all her girlfriends and came home somewhat liquored up, wouldn't you have a tingly feeling more commonly known as jealousy rushing through your body? Wouldn't you wonder if she did some fondling, or how many penises were being waved in her face?

Besides that, some women begin feeling insecure because they figure that if you have a pair of breasts to fondle at home, then why would you need to go somewhere and ogle other women? I know, it's not like that, but hey, just because we're the most civilized species, that doesn't always mean things will make perfect sense.

Most women question their men’s need to go to a strip club. “Why do they want to look at other women? Am I not pretty enough?” Most men want to go because of the atmosphere. It is a mix of a dance club and sports bar with girls walking around in costumes. It is a different mix of atmospheres that you cannot find anywhere but a strip club. It is relaxed enough that you can sit back, talk with your friends, and still have music and entertainment. Some men do not even talk to or watch the strippers when they go. They sit and talk with each other and turn away any dancers that approach. I have seen it more times than I can count. You would also be surprised at the amount of couples that go to strip clubs.

Do what I did. Buy a pole!

Green Ramblings

We all need each other to survive, regardless of one’s political affiliation, nationality, religion, race and creed. There are common bonding issues which connect all of us together. Before taking a position and joining any political group, Democrats, Republicans or any other political affiliation, we must realize what is the higher order.

The higher order of things is to preserve life-supporting and life-sustaining elements and the environment by not following or allowing any political party and or special interest group who have self-preserving and financial interests to dominate and deceive the public.

List of Common Concerns and Causes To All:
No one in their right mind would disagree with the need for discussion and implementation of new methodologies that address the common concerns and causes listed below.

1 - Clean, Healthy Air to Breathe
2 - Clean, Healthy Water to Drink
3 - Healthy, Clean Land to Live on and Grow Food
4 - Un-radiated, Nuclear and Pesticide-Free Organic Food & Produce
5 - Utilizing the Abundant and Inexhaustible Sun's Energy
6 - Development and Use of Hydrogen-Based Energy Production
7 - Establishing Fair & Dignified Living Wages
8 - Establishing Universal Healthcare System
9 - Establishing Universal Educational System

We urgently need to get over our trivial differences so that we can begin cooperating with one another on the important issues such as Environment, Global Warming, Healthcare, Education, Etc.

I was born like this.

A person of interest who warrants your attention and broadens your perspective.

When you see me you don’t see someone “like” yourself, not even in the mirror…..

I see you though.

Through binoculars on most days and a telescope some nights.

Some act like life is all show and tell!

A play with an all-star cast and no script.

Avoiding paparazzi while we chase dreams and try to land the lead role in the next “Box Office Hit”

I live like that.

Amongst lawyers and crooks, strippers and grand mothers

A place where limousines drive by real fast and police cruise bye (they never stop)

With our “Annoying Neighbors” whom we ask to babysit our legacies and futures.

Spend thousands on vices in untold places

All the while when we could save millions by simply walking life’s races.
