" WE ARE ASHAMED OF MAYOR JAMIE MAYO " BY GO BLANSON

In an Article that I read on the Monroe News Star website( copy AND PASTE THIS LINK >http://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/local/2017/10/23/monroe-bus-rate-increase-goes-before-council-tuesday/791699001/ , " MAYOR JAMIE MAYO DIDN'T TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH! " When Mayor Mayo said that some of the people who ride the Monroe City Buses were in favor of a bus fair increase," HE FORGOT TO MENTION " THAT THE CITY BUS RIDERS AGREED TO THE " FAIR INCREASES " BASED ON ALL OF THE " BUS ROUTES " STAYING AS THEY WERE { especially the " NIGHT RIDERS " ROUTE } !!! Sadly, some of the bus routes have been combined with others, and some have been altered as well.Therefore, it is plain to see that the bus riders did not agree to a price increase based on " THE CURRENT " routes !!! Also, the bus riders did not agree to the pitiful service that is being provided by the Monroe Transit System. The buses are still " DELIBERATELY " leaving passengers behind( causing them to miss their connecting bus ! When you call to complain on a RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL bus driver, you probably won't ever get the supervisor to call you back [ on Saturday, October 21, 2017 the other buses pulled out from the " DOWNTOWN " terminal two or three times without allowing the " WHITE STREET " bus to make it there, in order for the passengers on the " WHITE STREET " bus to make it to their connecting buses .The management never called any of the passengers to apologize at all ! ].Additionally, some of the buses are failing to get the required service and MANY TIMES THE SMALLER BUSES ARE BEING USED WHEN THE LARGER BUSES SHOULD HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN USED TO RUN THE BUS ROUTES ! Futhermore, the " STANDDOWN " stops have also caused problems and are sometimes unnecessary ! So, Mayor Mayo did not tell the " WHOLE TRUTH " about some of the the " BUS RIDERS " being ok with the bus fair increases that were proposed to the Monroe City Council. NOTE : Ouachita Police Jurors O. Reddix ,P. Moore, and the Mayor of Richwood were in attendance AT THE MEETING WHERE SOME OF THE BUS RIDERS RAISED THEIR HANDS IN AGREEMENT TO A PRICE INCREASE BASED ON QUALITY SERVICE AND THE BUS ROUTES REMAINING AS THEY WERE ! PS : I think that there should be an Independent Investigation into the " OPERATIONS " of the Monroe Transit System, and there should also be an Independent Investigation of the Monroe Transit's Financial Records !

" GOALS PLAYOFF BRACKETS " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Tribe,last week we made a list of the things we want to BE, Do , and Have. This week, we are going to which goals to do first.To help us, I suggest using the goals bracket method.The goals bracket method is a method I discovered a couple of years ago while reading.If you are familiar with the college basketball or football playoffs brackets, you should understand this method better. Ok,based on the number of goals you have decided to pursue,fit them into brackets.You can chose to use an eight bracket format, a 16 bracket format, or a 32 bracket format[ with the 8 bracket method, the winners advance to the final four, then those winners advance to the finals, and the winners of the finals are the goals you will work on first ]. NOTE : I will post a picture of the brackets for football in a day or two to give everyone a visual picture of how the brackets should be set up( but for now, see if you can get started without it )..PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b Here is the bracket templete that I said that I was going to add :

Also, if you like,you can try doing a TWO bracket format where you do the same thing as the 16 bracket format, except you do them two at a time( it's slower but it still works ).

" KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL YOU WANT " BY GO BLANSON

" Dream no small Dreams for they have no Power to move the Hearts of men " - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Hello Tribe,I just love this week's Article Title ! The title is important, because before we can get what we want in life, " WE MUST FIRST KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL WE REALLY WANT!" Which brings us back to the Wheel of Life or our life areas. It's not so important as to how many areas of life that you select( whether you choose to use 4,6,8, or 12 ), the most important thing is that you decide what you want[ Until you choose,you will always Lose ]! With that said,get a notebook, pencil or pen and take 2 - 3 hours and steal away to a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.After you have quieted your mind, write down all the roles you would like to " BE " in life : If you feel like you want to " BE " a Rapper, a Lawyer, or a Doctor, write them down . Next list all of the things you would like to " DO " in life : If you want to go mountain climbing,run a marathon, or discover a cure for cancer, write it down. Now, write all the things you would like to " HAVE " in life : If you want a Lexus Vehicle, a $200,000 dollar home, or a vacation house in Florida, write it down..." THERE IS NO LIMIT...SO DREAM BIG DREAMS !" NOTE : this exercise is not complete until you have come up with a total of at least " 100 " things from what you want to " BE , DO, and HAVE ." .PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b

" FALSE CREATIONS PRODUCE A FALSE LIFE " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Tribe, in this week's Article has to do with " FALSE CREATIONS." Last week we came to a conclusion that " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING " were two of the things that we need to " ADD.". You see,we must learn to apply these two variables to our " THINKING " as well as to our " DOING." Also, it is very important that we are operating and performing under " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING." Otherwise, we will produce a " FALSE CREATION "[ " FALSE CREATIONS " produce a " FALSE " Life ]. I am reminded of a story about an " EAGLE "It is very important who had accepted " INCORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING " about himself.Therefore, instead of living the extraordinary life of an " EAGLE," he ended up living the life of a " CHICKEN "( Please copy and paste this link to read the Story about the Eagle who thought he was a chicken ). Although the story was a fairytale of sorts, it still shows how through " INCORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING " we can end up living a life that we didn't necessarily have to. Stephen Covey, Lisa Nichols,Napoleon Hill, and I all agree," When deciding what you want in life,the first step is to begin with an end in mind. Which means that you need to get clear and definite about what you want to achieve.In order to do so, it is crucial that we have clear and defined goals. Lisa Nichols{ and other leading experts } advises that we set goals based on the areas of our lives[ copy and paste this link to view the life areas wheel / life wheel >http://www.coactive.com/docs/resources/toolkit/pdfs/18-Wheel-of-Life-Exercise.pdf ]. Based on the life areas wheel, we can set goals in each area of our life. However, we should make sure that we are using " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING " about who we are, who we want to become, and what we want to achieve.Once we have the " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING," we can then begin the process of setting goals in each area of our life that will forever transform our lives ! Ok, that's it for this week. I hope that everyone makes sure that they copy and paste this link to the life wheel > http://www.coactive.com/docs/resources/toolkit/pdfs/18-Wheel-of-Life-Exercise.pdf ( to get a better understanding of how to complete their own life wheel )..PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b
