How to empower yourself:Forgiving the enemy

Image
Clinton story about Nelson Mandela “Mandela made a grand, elegant, dignified exit from prison and it was very, very powerful for the world to see. But as I watched him walking down that dusty road, I wondered whether he was thinking about the last 27 years, whether he was angry all over again. Later, many years later, I had a chance to ask him. I said, ‘Come on, you were a great man, you invited your jailers to your inauguration, you put your pressures on the government. But tell me the truth. Weren’t you really angry all over again?’ And he said, ‘Yes, I was angry. And I was a little afraid. After all I’ve not been free in so long. But,’ he said, ‘when I felt that anger well up inside of me I realized that if I hated them after I got outside that gate then they would still have me.’ And he smiled and said, ‘I wanted to be free so I let it go.’ It was an astonishing moment in my life. It changed me.” http://lenski.com/letting-go-of-anger-resentment-and-grudges/ I thought

Dating momma's boys: Ladies a delicious clip of what to look forward to...YUM!!

Image
Whoaaaaaaa if i had a mother like this, i'd be terrified to even breathe. Momma's boys is a show where a guy, and his mother are both put in a mansion with loads of hot tottie and she helps him decide who the right woman for him is. Momma's boy's are often ruled by domineering, overbearing mothers who are terrified of being replaced.This is why women all around the world drrrreeeeeeeeeeead dating momma's boys. This is an extreme case,but you get where i'm coming from. There are though some guys whose mother have a positive input towards their dating experience, less scared of being disposed of, more happy that her son has simply found, someone who likes him for who he is. They have their own opinions don't get me wrong, but they believe in advising, rather than bullying, throwing tantrums, and manipulating. They trust their sons judgement.

DIFFERENT VIDEO ON AUTISM: THUMBS UP FOR WELCOME TO MY LIFE

Image
Ilove this video it gives a different perspective to dealing with autism . We are often aware about how difficult it is for someone with a disability, but how about how it affects their family members. Having suffered with epilepsy, endometriosis, panic attacks (a real buffet)as i've gotten older i've begun to take into account how my disability affects those around me. The sacrifices, and the unpredictability. Great job!!

Christmas cracker: Very inspirational Baroness Grey Thompson is Bitchin

Image
This is inspiration , there are people in life who just refuse to give in. Refuse to be stopped and push on to make a difference for themselves and others. Baroness Grey Thompson is certainly one of them. Despite struggling with spina bifida, she refused to let anything get in the way of her passion for athletics. She has won numerous awards and is all round...completely kick-ass.

The million dollar immigration question

Image
America and the immigration issue have literally swallowed the news media consistently. I have my own interesting take on it. For example a lot of people who are anti immigration are frustrated that their missing out on job opportunities, housing, they feel the benefit system is being defrauded, and many complain that they almost feel suffocated. Well a lot of immigrants are going for jobs that these individuals wouldn't look twice at. I find it quite amusing that many argue as though being an immigrant means your automatically given a better quality of life. The delusion is that these immigrants haven't had to sacrifice anything, they haven't missed out on familiar surroundings, are not in any shape or form entering slightly hostile arena's. There are those who complain that immigrants enter their country and seem to be magically progressing. Yet if you asked some of those individuals how they use their time, you'll find a host of wasted time and wasted opport

Explaining courage and neuro fibromatosis

Image
I was watching a video on youtube, and the lady speaking discussed about ignorant people. She said why don't people just ask and i'll explain what my disability is rather than acting inappropriately. Because their ignorant. Ignorant people are not looking for the rational explanation about the problem, their simply looking for a way to judge themselves as superior to you. Her disability or illness is not something you miss, it's a graphic show stopper. But this is a gutsy lady,the people who laugh and ridicule and act disgustingly immaturely, this is more about them than it is is about her. Fear and guilt can be translated to such appauling behaviourisms. I imagine there are those who have had the class to treat this woman with some dignity and show some self respect. neuro fibromatosis

An Amazing woman:Intern fights to support abused autistic children

Image
After experiencing negative behaviour, and bullying in one of my work places. It gives me pride to say there are still many people out there who have the guts to do the right thing, and stand up for those in a vulnerable position. This intern reported a techer that was abusing kids with autism. After being told to keep her mouth shut by the dean,told by colleagues it wa probably her own perspective, even at the cost of loosing her position and having to start from scratch. She knew what was right, and she did it!!That's what i call guts. http://youtu.be/No1Z8KOeW7o You can subscribe to her on youtube, her name is motley prism As a society we should do al we can to support people like this, because it isn't just 'their perspective', they have reason to be alarmed. An adult bullying a child is as disgusting as it gets, a teacher bullying an autistic child...that's just pathetic.

Postive mental attitude:Pushing through the chaos

Image
I don't even know where to start, sometimes i wonder if anyone does. There's that saying jack of all trades, master of none? Whoaaa, i literally got up this morning and had no idea which life skill to focus on first. What idea to feed, what concept, so i've decided little by little. Jot some notes, list which direction i want things to move in, what steps i'll take. One thing i've learned....the hard way. Rome isn't or wasn't built in a day. Everything in life is a process. No matter how much you want to be leading competitor or are dealing with negative people, you have to just push on. Focus on the goals and not so much the glory. Nothing is perfect in an instant,life is progressive.

How to get rich and why?

Image
Two years ago, i'd been prewarned. I walked into the house with my recently bought box of foreverr living products. My sister shook her head, and we laughed together. "Jesus you've been had as well?" I nodded fully embracing the hillarity of the situation. "Didn't you listen to what i told you about my experience with them?" I shrugged. I didn't care. I wanted to make my first million wether it was through forever living, or avon. The talk was there, the gusto was there, but the strength of the why was not. Why did i and why do many people want to make a fortune making money, to change their life, and to improve their lifestyle. I would want to make a million so my family would have more accessibility, financial freedom, have our own property, run successful businesses, have money in place to start investing in the next generation. The why has to be strong enough. Words are not enough when trying to take on a goal of such audacity. Why does a woma

Market envy: Your unique selling point

Image
I could go into one of my self acclaimed rants about envy, or i could aid you in this way. Every product has a unique selling point, something that attracts audiences, and makes them invest. What is market envy? Market envy is the cup that sits on a shelf wishing it were a plate, or the plate that groans in the dishwasher convinced life would be easier and he would wash quicker if he were a spoon. Market envy is the product of not accepting your own unique selling point. it's looking at the market and wanting to be everybody's everybody, feeling inappropriate and jealous of the lives of others. Lets try and be content with who we are, and what we bring to the table people.Have you ever seen a cup thats glued with a spoon, a plate, and a knife, how do you pick it up? How would you sell it? Or market it to an audience? Would it be accessible? Or would someone just pick it up and go "koooooooooooooooooool" then put it back down again? It's great to be diverse, anyon

Understanding Jealous people

Image
We assume that jealousy is always about material, and superficial or shallow things. We understand that jealousy is about fancy cars, modellesque beauty, iconic clothes and promotions. Sometimes people can be jealous of who you are, or things that even you can't see. Jealous of your confidence, creativity, guts and gusto. Envious that someone else is more respected than they are, and frustrated that these flaws they hold on to about the object of their jealousy and loathing, are not validated with the intense envy they feel. Jealous people can often appear to be nice people, warm and kind, but a sinister sinisism lurks beneath their false smiles. What are the signs of envious people? One of the key ones is someone who hates you for absolutely no reason. Someone who randomly chooses to dislike you and spreads poison to ruin your reputation. Jealous people bitch behind your back, but are often too cowardly to express themselves to your face, why is that? Because of their envy, th

Jack Johnson:Gone going

I thought of Jack Johnson jack johnson as a tribute to someone who recently lost a very special person. They lived, they loved, and they left, it's hard for those who remain, grieving their loss.

Trust: Positive Risk and How to trust

Image
Trust like respect is earned. how to trust I didn't understand that growing up. I thought you always dive into situations head first, having the one with all the trust, desperate to win people over. This morning i sat in front of my sister mourning a past version of myself. The girl who two years ago would have done anything, and everything to please others, a girl who trusted blindly, and let people in, with such ease. In the past two/3 years a lot of crap has happened. Things that in life has you holding your hands out saying what the hell did i do? It doesn't make sense things came out this way. It's like wanting to dye your hair brown, and it coming out neon green/ purple. You read the directions over and over again. You scan each line methodically and at the end you scream, "what the hell this doesn't make sense?" "How did this happen?" Yet no matter how we look at it sometimes life just wont make sense. You say "I did a+b+c it's supp

Jazzing up the juice: Getting past Writers and creative blocks

Image
Wow so as a writer, i seem to find myself, producing ideas yet intimidated by their vastly diabolical concepts. Have you ever had an idea that's so brilliant, you don't know wether your the one to write it, or produce it? Do you find yourself glorifying publicly, yet intimidated by a blank sheet of paper, or a buzzing screen that glares at you like a warden. I've decided to do as suggested, anthony robbins said write for the wastepaper basket. Structure wise, language wise, it can all be edited or redrafted. If you have nothing, you have nothing to work with. If youre a creative, someone with an idea, a goal, or a visual, just do you. There is no other choice. Often we awe at the greatness of those that came before us, hungry to fall in step, chomping at the nail, basking in a fear, that at times can be stifling, at other times is the lucozade you need. The push, the climax. Then the other part of our brain locks in, the part that thinks about how to make money , and
