You either live your own, self-originated life or you run on automatic and live the life according to that in which your parents, your peers, your siblings, chance or happenstance or “the system” moves you along the stream.
Take a time-out and sit down to determine what it is that makes you feel most alive, how best you like helping others. It has been said that our highest ability is to help and when that is gone, so are we.
I was listening recently to a lecture and learned that we are most slive in the area of our talents.
And from another speaker I learned that it is not just sports and arts that are areas of talent. Our talents are what we do well that others find difficult.
So make a list of your talents!
Do more of that!
Practice it more often.
Improve your ability in that area.
Get REALLY good at it!
Get SO good at it you could make you living either doing, teaching or coaching others to do that.
Floating down the stream of life may not require effort but it will most likely lead you to places you do not wish to be.
Carving out the life you will most enjoy takes time, effort, discipline and sacrifice of things that you probably won’t miss if you are doing what you love to do.
And another important point.
Whenever you start an activity you will have zero or close to zero confidence in your ability.
That is normal and to be expected.
Recall if you learned how to ride a bike, you were probably petrified when it came to your first time on a two wheeler.
So much so that you insisted your dad hold the seat for you until you felt ready.
The important lesson here is FIRST you DO.
THEN you acquire COMPETENCE.
ONLY THEN do you aquire CONFIDENCE!
Do the action uintil you aquire a high level of competence and you will feel extremely coinfident.
Ever seen a really confident athlete or musician?
Boy do they sometimes come across as cocky!
And boy do they make a lot of money!
This is so true that money could be said to be an idea backed by confidence.
So it is out-sequence (illogical) to expect you should feel confident about something you have never tried or at which you have not done a lot.
Don’t fall into that trap!

Have you ever been in the unhappy situation of having tried to communicate your understanding of an issue to another person and had them refuse to look at what you are pointing out?

The key phrase in the preceding question is “refuse to look”.

Just read a brilliant article that explains why many (most?) people have difficulty communicating their observations to others.

And that is that some people (the few) look and some people (the many) follow orders.

Because the order follower does not observe for himself, he relies on received orders to tell him what to think, do and with what to agree. Celebrity endorsements, pronouncements form men in white coats: “my doctor told me”, “science says” or “the head of the government says” all need to be heeded because they emanate from “an authority”.

Never mind that the reason the person is in authority may be because they told more lies and promised to give away more of the other guy’s money to groups of which you are a member (politicians) or they may be scientists in the pay of special interest groups or doctors who make money if you follow their recommendations.

When an observer endeavours to communicate his observations to an order follower, if the observations contradict the order follower’s orders, the observations are rejected. Full stop. End of story.

This is the mechanism by which tyranny and authoritarianism reigns over the masses.The authoritarian influences merely by making definite statements and giving orders to the indoctrinated.

So here’s something with which to experiment. Instead of conversationally beating your head against a brick wall, try asking these questions:

What data do you have on the subject?
From where did you get that data?
If I could show you that data was incorrect or inaccurate or incomplete, would you be prepared to change your mind on the subject?

If they say no to that and you had time on your hands you could always ask their reason for holding fast to their false data.

Dr Stanislaw Burzynski Defeats Texas Medical Board Charges
On March 3, 2017 the Texas Medical Board (TMB) decided the fate of Dr. Burzynski and the Burzynski Clinic based on the most recent set of “charges” against Burzynski.
Dr. Burzynski kept his medical license.
The Judge’s “Finds Of Fact” stated: “Respondent’s continued practice in treating advanced cancer patients is a present value to the cancer community,” and “Respondent’s treatments have saved the lives of cancer patients, both adults and children, who were not expected to live.”
Once the TMB lawyers realized their case to revoke his medical license was falling apart, they then proposed he pay a $360,000.00 fine. This was reduced to $60,000.
Of the few charges the TMB lawyers managed to succeed in, were related to “improper book keeping” and “improper billing”, human mistakes that occur at all hospitals and clinics big and small.
The TMB ordered Dr. Burzynski to attend “continuing education” with a focus on “ethics”. In the words of Mr. Steve Siegel (video below), “is it your intention to have him [Burzynski] teach the class?”
For now, this is yet another successful chapter in the Burzynski saga and the establishment’s failed attempt to stop Burzynski from continuing to treat cancer patients.

Colbie Caillat is a Grammy award winning artiste and she is sick of being photoshopped. She is so sick of being photoshopped that she decided to use her most respected talent of singing to promote natural beauty.
She then released a music video for the song featuring a host of beautiful women. The video shows the opposite of what society considers a transformation and it’s beautiful to watch. I recommend that you check out the video if you haven’t already.

*The Value of ‘Time’ – Please take ‘Time’ to read this before it is too late…….

Sometimes little things means SO much to certain people!!*

A young man learns what’s most important in life from the guy next door.

Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

“Jack, did you hear me?” “Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said…

“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.

“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.

“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.

“He’s the one who taught me carpentry,” he said. “I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were

important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time.

Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories- every picture, every piece of furniture. Jack stopped suddenly…

“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.

“The box is gone,” he said

“What box?” Mom asked.

“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ’the thing I value most,'” Jack said.

It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said. “I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom.”

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. “Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days,” the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. “Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.

“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filled his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.

Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved:

“Jack, Thanks for your time! -Harold Belser.”

“The thing he valued most was… My time”

Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” Janet, his assistant asked.

“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said. “Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time!”

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

1. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way..
2 A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.
3 Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
4. You mean the world to someone.
5. If not for you, someone may not be living.
6. You are special and unique.
7. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t get it, but if you trust d faith to do what’s best, and wait on ur time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.
8. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
9. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
10. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
12. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you’ll both be happy.
13. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

“Thanks for your thoughts and your precious time.”
