" When Your Dream Chases You "

Many times I have often heard people say that a person was " CHASING " their Dreams.Well,recently I came across a book{Dream Year },by Ben Arment that said,"You don't go after Your Dream,Your Dream comes after you!"You see,it was pretty easy for me to imagine someone being chased by a dog,but I had never really entertained the idea of someone being chased by a Dream.However,the more I thought about it,the more I realized that I was being chased by my Dream too! Mr.Arment went on to say that the " CHASE " has a history[ yes,your Dream has been chasing you for some time now].If you were to actually go back over your life experiences,you would probably discover times in your life when your Dream was in " hot pursuit" of you! The late Jim Rohn use to say," Success leaves clues." Surprisingly,your Dream has left you clues too!It's amazing how our childhood experiences are filled with these clues of our Dream.Mr.Arment called these clues " Defining Moments " of our lives.He says that these defining moments not only forcast our Dream,but they also help shape our potential as well. In case you are wondering about how you can discover some of the " CLUES " that Mr.Arment speaks of in his book," Dream Year."Here are nine questions that he says that you can ask yourself to help discover some of the clues that your Dream has left behind. 1. In what area have you excelled? 2. What were some of the defining moments of your life. 3. What passions or interests that you can't seem to shake? 4. What are three of your frustrations? 5. What work would you gladly do for free? 6. What kind of people are drawn to you? 7. What things come easily for you? 8. Where do your talents/gifts collide with what other people want? 9. What were some of your interest and tendencies as a child? For more information about Mr.Arment and his wonderful book," Dream Year."

" WAIT For The VISION "

YOUR DREAMS are like a Baby's first set of Teeth.For Months[ on the surface] there seems to be no Activity,then little by little, one tooth after another begins to appear. Also, we should remember what it says in the Bible is the Book of Habakkah : " And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

" RIGHT-BRAINED ATROPHY "

How Well Do You Know Yourself ?

Today,it seems as if people have been conditioned to know about everything under the sun,but " SELF !" By second nature,we stay tuned into the weather,news,sports,and the radio.However, somehow,we have gotten out of tune with " SELF." Additionally, more people appear to be overly concerned about fixing their neighbor,than about trying to fix " SELF." It has been said many times and in many ways," In order to truly know and fully understand others,WE MUST FIRST KNOW SELF." Also, " KNOW THYSELF " was the inscription over the Oracle of Delphi,The Greek Mecca of Wisdom.In an interview,Leadership Guru, Warren Bennis stated," KNOW THYSELF " means separating WHO YOU ARE and WHO YOU WANT TO BE from what the world thinks you are and wants you to be. If you are familiar with Facebook, you have already witnessed the popular picture CRAZE, known as taking a " SELFIE." Although many people have filled their time-lines with these " SELFIE " pictures, I often wonder how many of them really know " SELF?"You see, in order to know " SELF," you must BE " SELF" ; and in order to BE " SELF," one must also BE AWARE of " SELF." What thoughts automatically come to mind whenever you hear someone say,SELF-AWARENESS? In his classic book," The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," Stephen Covey states that SELF-AWARENESS is what enables us to stand apart and examine even the way we see ourselves.SELF-AWARENESS is our “ UNIQUE “ ability to think about our very own thought process.Therefore,SELF-AWARENESS is THE KEY to truly knowing and understanding " SELF."

SCHOOL " FAILS " To Teach People About Building Generational Wealth

" If you are living paycheck-to-paycheck,it is because you either have failed to learn the Laws that govern the building of Wealth or you do not observe them " - Garry O. Blanson SCHOOL " FAILS " To Teach People About Building Generational Wealth Have you noticed that SCHOOL doesn't ever seems to address the subject of building generational wealth?Also, It's sad how SCHOOL conditions kids to think of themselves as UNDER-PRIVILEGED, ACADEMICALLY CHALLENGED, and POOR.

Without a healthy self-image,they are doomed to live lives of mediocrity ! In 2016, millions of adults who have gone through the public SCHOOL system in America are living paycheck-to-paycheck.The public SCHOOL system in America insists on pushing the same old tired,worn-out,mind numbing curriculum. curriculum which is designed to weed-out children who " FAIL " to embrace it. Read this Quote by Jules Henry," So the function of SCHOOL then, is not so much to communicate knowledge as to get children finally to accept the GRADING SYSTEM as a measure of their Inner Excellence." So you see, the curriculum combined with the grading system is turning once geniuses into dunces. Also, I have noticed that when children enter Pre-k,they are full of life and highly creative However,by the time they reach the 3rd grade,many of them become so bored with the curriculum and frustrated by the grading system , they simply lose interest in learning. When these kids lose interest in learning,they are more likely to get labeled as behavior problem students. Also,teachers begin to give up on them as well. So what does the SCHOOL'S curriculum has to do with our children building generational wealth ? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!! THE SEVEN CURES FOR A Empty WALLET / PURSE 1. Start your wallet / purse to Filling up 2. Control your expenditures 3. Make your money multiply( work for you ) 4. Guard your money against loss 5. Own your home { don't rent } 6.
