Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you
meet. To make all your friends feel that there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

A client( TESDA teacher & administrator, male) of mine pm me at my fb messenger. For a consultation with regards to his present situation. He feels he is cursed. Though he his earning a lot from his occupation. He is puzzled money in his wallet is emptied quickly before payday. He is always responsible when it came to his finances. I asked him. When did this strange occurrence starts to happen. If he have additional expenses aside from regular budget of household needs & bills. He said no. Just the same. He bought an money amulet for wealth. Money is draining fast . This is the reason why he contacted me at Fb messenger.This is a thai money amulet. Base on my energy reading. It is an infested object. The amulet's material aside from bronze includes human & animal corpse remains. Unclean spirits from the amulet is clinging in his auric shell. In the form of black energy balls. Making him susceptible to short memory loss from possession. He also mentioned about lighting 3 incense sticks & 2 white candles. Inviting the guardian spirit of the amulet to help him with his finances to be wealthy. Along with resin chinese tael. My skin suddenly feels itchy. This always happens to me when there is a presence of unclean spirits.This is really bad. Number 3 is an odd number. Odd numbers in buddhism represents a deity. The color white is for funeral. There are human & animal corpse remains in the amulet. I have strong gut feel. Death will make him rich. He will only get condolence money. The earth bound spirits can not recognize Philippines currency only Thai baht. I asked him. If he still have his sterling silver blessed St. Benedict's medal. Yes he still have it. I told him to wear the blessed medal & for protection & bad spirit removal. Throw away the thai money amulet & resin chinese tael in a river ( running water). ASAP. Attend mass , holy eucharist & ask the priest to bless him with holy water. Last rinse bath of salt water for auric cleansing always. To be prosperous and no money problems. I gave him simple instructions.
1. Always wash hands & pray( Netilat). Before eating. Our hands are holy.
2. Always pray LORD'S PRAYER.
3.St. Benedict's Medal is all he need to be wealthy in spirit & material means. Always pray & wear the blessed medal. Present update 9p.m. 8/22/22. No more anxiety attack. He is now feeling ok.CASE CLOSED.

... In the US Federal and some individual US States, seat warming "employees" are now being required to spend time in seminars, so they can try to behave, and thereby magically become, less White.
Gone is the arrogance, respect for hard work in school and on the job, reliance on fact based critical argument, and all the sordid rest of it. Pupils can now stop ackin' White, ditch the proto gang banger threads, and get down to real academic achievement. And now this Third Reich mindset is moving into some corporate culture. Coca Cola, thankfully, is reportedly doing so. Many others are on the Apartheid band wagon. Public schools, universities. And more.
And Robin DiAngelo's ("White Fragility"-see it at your liberal public library, don't make her any more rich), 50 minute on line self-learning program on this important topic, no doubt will advance the demise of the human scourge of prejudging others, on the basis of skin color.
Well, all I can say is, it's about time. But why spend so much time in self critical self study? For a few bucks, we hopelessly melanin challenged Hupersons, can apply skin creams to darken the skin, just as Michael Jackson used the opposite potions to look less Negro. Not to mention the botched repeat rhinoplasty.
No more hair straitening. Gold teeth. What a release from bondage. Wealthy successful Black men can now look for non White spouses. Or at least abandon the search for a hottie near White Lady Octadroon.
See, all. I now am finding valid reasons to stop regretting the stolen, VERY stolen, erection. As should we all.

Change the world.

Just a share of an interesting book.

LAW 1

NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER
JUDGMENT

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite—inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.

LAW 2

NEVER PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS, LEARN HOW TO USE ENEMIES
JUDGMENT

Be wary of friends—they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

LAW 3

CONCEAL YOUR INTENTIONS
JUDGMENT

Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.

LAW 4
ALWAYS SAY LESS THAN NECESSARY

JUDGMENT

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

LAW 5
SO MUCH DEPENDS ON REPUTATION—GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE

JUDGMENT

Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them.

I'm hungover today guess what mine was lol thank you Coors

Expression: When the mind searches for reasons to be sad and sorrowful, even situations with no great significance are seen with a vision of negativity. So there is constantly an expression of words and actions that reflect the need for sympathy and reassurance. On the other hand, when there is the search for happiness, then everything is positive giving happiness..

Experience: When I am happy, I start perceiving everything with that vision. It is like wearing coloured glasses. Whatever colour my glasses are, the whole world is coloured with it. Then, I am no longer able to perceive and recognize negativity and I am able to remain happy with everything.

Everyone looks like that he can own four wives, which one you should love?
A rich man had four wives, his favorite love was the fourth wife.He gave her luxuary clothes and the most delicious food.He cared for her carefully and gave her the best stuff.
He also loved his third wife very much.He was honored of her and show her with his friends.But the rich man also was always afraid of her, he worried she would be with other men together one day.
And he also loved his second wife.She was patient, tender and caring.Actually she was his confidant.No matter what problems when he met, he always asked for her help.And then his second wife also always helped him to pull through the difficulties.
His first wife was a very honest partner.She contributed herself for their family.Although the first wife loved him very much and so deeply, he didn't love her and almost forgot her.
One day, the rich man got illness.Not long time he knew he would be dead.He remembered his luxuary lives and said:"Now i have four wives,but if i am dead i am lonely.How lonely i will be!"
So he asked the fourth wife:"I love you the most and gave you the best, now i will be dead, will you follow me and……""No way"The fourth wife said and left far away from his home.
The rich man was hurt by her response.So he asked his third wife: "All this life i love you so much, but now i will be dead , would you like to be with me together?""No" the third wife answered and said:"lives is so good and many men love me, if you are dead i will marry again!"the rich man's heart was cold.
He asked his second wife again:"You always help me to over the difficulties and now i need your help.If i am dead, can you be with me together? "“Sorry dear, this time i can not!”She answered:“ I can send you to the cemetery at most !"The rich man shocked and dispaired.
At this time a sound come:"I will be together with you!No matter where you go , no matter where is heaven or hell, i will follow you all the time!"He looked up and his first wife stand there. She looks skinny, long-term malnutrition.The rich man was sorrow very much and said:"I should take good care of you, but……"
Actually, all of us have four wives in our life:
1.The fourth wife is our body.No matter how much we spent on it and how long we took for it to protect its good status, as beautiful face, we always be satisfied with its all needs.But when the time is over, it will leave us.
2.The third wife is our authority, power, reputation and wealth.No matter how much honors it gave us, when we are dead, all of it is belong to others.
3.The second wife is our friends and relatives. No matter how closed we are in our alived time, they can only accompany us to the cemetery at most.
4.Actually the first wife is our soul.When we chased wealth and enjoyment of body, it often be forgotten.
Never lose yourself.

From time to time, in less halcyon days, which I have known. So to truncate the Karma, I try to do the same. Today, took a friend to the station for quick bus to Boston----she's seeing Sir Elton tonight at the garden, with childhood pals. Since it was on the way, me and my motor head took a friend to check out a motor camper, which was junk, and he was happy to get my opinion. Sellers were enough to drive each other and anyone within hearing distance nuts---one of those couples who are ueber controlling, to others and to each other. A Godess sent match. No, you can't drive it, we will. Wipe feet before entering, I (Mrs.) spent hours on that floor. Would the dog like some water---he places about 20 ml in a tiny glass---Bravo just walked away. Endless talk from her about what a deal it was and how she's passed up many to wait for us---we were early. We won't take a penny less than asking price. And so on. So we discussed lots on the way back. His politics are way left of mine, and he spent a lot of time dissing Senator Susan C. And others of my heroes. But I learned a good deal, and we seemed to get along. He's a reporter, and just returned from a junket to Norway, funded by environmentalists hoping to stop the Norske from building of the world's largest indoor salmon farm, in this little hamlet. Depleting the ground water, polluting the ocean bay and leveling many trees. Norway won't allow it there. Progress.

...... my morning full toilet, chores, and other items of the life variously lived....
To digress, women seem to think that their morning life tasks and beauty rituals take much more time than those of their men folk. Au contraire, CS friends.
But Bravo is signaling to go for his walk, so later, alligators.

So, I spend about half an hour on these items, less the time I spend walking Bravo. Of course, showers, clearing snow, watering and weeding garden, all in season, etc, add considerable time, not to mention shopping, hobbies and vehicle/home maintenance.
But I'm happy to do so, as there have been rare times in life, in depressed and therefore slothful periods, when we let it all pile up. These thankfully all came after the 5th decade on God's good earth, and related to unresolved business over youthful traumata, likely from parents, as an infant, and much later from men in our Church. Years of denial and rationalization did wonders to stir up the mix. The bottle was a false ally, as many will know.
Even though I studied these things and worked to help others with their depressions, etc., I always doubted the validity of such syndromes, and especially how they could set the stage for lower life achievement, and even self harm. Silly me.
With help (various therapies, including hypnotic age regression, etc) and the tinctures of time and experience, I'm back in the saddle, and have discarded the false crutches. For good, Inshallah.
But the most striking lessons involve how much such experiences can detract from the full life. I have learned that most, thankfully, adapt, with or without help. But in terms of function and interpersonal interactions, it's often sub optimal, and less than fully adaptive. Even if lives are carried out and even somewhat enjoyed, at different levels.
Behavioral science still only scratches the surface in all of this, I'm here to report.
Medicine and religion, even more so.
