My dream
AMERICA'S A TEAM!
I have come to harmonize, a line of thinking. A way of life that may be one of the most powerful assets to our nation and globe today! My understanding is . There are no limits to success in any situation! Point being. Today is a new day, fresh start moving forward. We always have opportunity to take challenges to victory! America is in a pickel, thare are challanges ahead . This positions the United States in a situation for the whole world to wittness some old fashioned positive change! Not only could the war on terror be won. We could actually stimulate the economey & build better relations. Ever herd of communication? hmm. The concept is simple. Every American is a team member. It starts with you! Now how do you reach every person in your community or those you are in direct contact in business or personal endeavors? Good question right?Thats easy we set an example. I found threw some of my own struggles. Also watching others make the same mistakes. There is a way for each and every one of us to have, a wonderfull life of success! No matter what your definition of a success or goals your striving toward. Anything is possible. Now it was the simplest approach, yet it was at best difficult to put in action. Untill now. This is guidence, this is a way of life and of thinking that will catapult you and those around you, to achieving their dreams & be at their best! Everything good we have ever wanted to obtain is within ourselves. It’s a small seed growing everyday!
It’s all about personal empowerment & awakening that little gift of peace and happiness that has always been there from birth! I quit procrastinating & started living. My only goal is help others become toataly free from doubt. I ganed this edge by suffering a huge personal loss, making alot of bad decisions & Finaly taking control of my life by getting involved. In today’s times we are all able to achieve our own personal success path. No limits! Lets find yours now!" Right now in this moment!"

I believe the solution is so simple that it has become complicated. As in the beginning of the war. A serious case of misjudgement! All that is needed to succeed is comfort within ourselves. This way we wouldn't have ever made a bad or negative decision to begin with. A mind filled with a solid base of ethics & positive thinking are such an enormous advantage. I like the classic, You Cant Touch This, by MC Hammer! Personally that song crys confidence. Though he may have been surounded by a few bad examples. Financially, he was a disaster. Seriously. Keep your head and body out of places were there’s no value to add to your life. Probably will result a negative, if you will. Positivity is like rolling ball in motion. Any motion or energy flowing or engaged in movement, has to be maintained. Its simple! Stimulate the natural process. HOW? You keep it going. Spread it around! Feed the positive. Success was meant to be multiplied & become larger more powerful. Helping others & sharing along the way. Building rather than destroying. Stay away from a negative enviorment.The less you participate the easier it is. Time allows this to happen. Seems as though, Currently not the case with some personalitys. Numbers my friend. Emetic or purge. Keep it simple. It’s a bit of first grade math. Adding & subtracting. Why is that show about being as sharp as a 5th grader so popular?Hmm. You have to have a system. In order to retain this stuff. I am going to share with you what my experience did for me. If we don’t complicate it now, we just may get it!
The people we surround ourselves with are our best identifier of ourselves. We are only as good as those around us. Success is not comfort. You cant achieve optimal success and remain in a situation were you are no longer content, at your ceiling held- back or just plain at roots end . Get out of there! The sooner the better. You are stunting your growth. I have decided to consciously achieve success. A solid businessman using a solid base of ethics, moving forward to achieve the ultimate trophy of success, Knows this. Am I content with ones self-worth? Try not to measure success by wealth. Most know that’s not how it works. Trust me, observed allot of retirees in sunny Florida. When the tracks of life have become worn, the money is not it, Find a NEW GOAL. If you are getting started remember to align them. Making money is not a bad thing. Its what you do with it. If your not comfortable where you are putting it. I highly recommend you work on that. There’s a few books that I believe were published to share some of these ideals. Feed your spiritual connection!!! Being the best will leave no room for a hypocrite. You will need that in order to obtain respect from your peers & colleagues. It puts you in a position to achieve greatness rather than a speck of the best. Look around, we have enough examples already.
Share, share, share. You see you can’t own this until you give it away. The idea is to; Educate as many people as possible. The tools that come to mind are Sincerety, desire & determination my feelings are that sharing this will make all worthwhile. Its growth. The United States military & current government/PEOPLE. Can do this just not alone. Its goanna take a movement. Folks get on board. Sharpen the tools. Those values that we so hope for our children to understand. Once I had realized what this was my A.D.D. smashed my need for the excess smashed. I am alive! At thirty-eight I’m feeling like my mid twenty’s. These are new times New generations of thought. We lead we follow or just get out of the way! We have a lot of bright people out there who know how to make this all happen. So get out of the (negative)... (Get in to the positive zone)! Getting your attention yet. Good that’s the whole idea. All it takes to accomplish this is positive change. Once again we can’t go wrong! We have enough ethically based millionaires & successful billionaires that see the vision. You all know who are. Defiinitely need your wisdom, support & mentorship. Me I am just guy from Minnesota who has traveled to many different cities, moved to Florida & threw a hard life came to awareness almost beyond comprehension. Found something within that has allowed me to share this idea... Could go on an share all of my war stories there are a few! Have had some challenges in my days. No doubt! Details are relative. Your hill my mountain & visa versa. A good friend told me you could do it now or deal with it later. Well my experience is. Later becomes complicated!
Not much for the media. Take what's needed an leave the rest. Read between the lines think before I react. Be open minded some of the greatest examples are right in front of us. Make the best of your environment. Doesn't matter were you live how big of a school you attend, the size company you work for. All relative again. Focus your attention to your current surroundings and community. It starts with one example. YOU... The new job new house the new friends. All given, with the determination to succeed! Anything you wish to achieve is your prize. Anything! That my friends, isn’t showbiz. That’s the reality of your desire to listen, accept and return the favor to all you come in contact with. Remember you have to share or give success away to get it. A lot like RESPECT. See how easy that is. It’s really that simple!
Stay focused on the good. If it’s complicating you are moving in the wrong direction. Moving forward staying focused on the positive. Keep it real. That’s what I am talking about. Life doesn't need all of those little curve balls that take us off track! You will never be the best at what you do without routine feeding this motion. Bring your knowledge to, especially your home, showroom, classroom’s, offices, campus the grocery store & the fuel pumps. With prices soaring toward new highs throw a smile in. Those poor cashiers & service attendants have herd about enough! Leave no one behind... The only trophy in front of you now is becoming a better human being. Fake it untill you make it if necessary. That’s positive change. Everything else will follow becoming a better you & you all over again an again. No matter how long or how many times it takes! You can’t stop until the magic/ miracle occurs. LETS WIN!!!
We start out in life with every opportunity to make the right decisions. We all make mistakes, that’s the beauty of life and the re-discovery process. This is the base for which all is possible . I made so many terrible decisions over the years. The past is the past. Does not fit in this thing I am sharing with you. THE NOW. You see that’s all that matters. How can you see were you are going while looking behind you. The Transformation is in front of us. POSITIVE DIRECTION! Starting to feel we are on your way and becoming more aware...
Our awareness and acceptance of this change should run smooth, filled with vibrancy & energy. We will definitely know when we have arrived. Once twice fifty times. All lesson & teachings earned. That’s right earned. Isn’t that amazing. All successful people will tell you that. If I wouldn’t have experienced defeat I wouldn't recognize accomplishment. Mistakes are positive. Somewhere along the way. I had perceived the opposite . Not so allot of negative examples are embedded in our society. Lets not participate. On the other hand when you only see the GOOD IN ALL... We will have made it!!! So. Stay up, keep it real & look alive! Be a part of a movement that will Rock this Continent & entire Globe! Believe me at this point people will take you seriously. Gaining confidence, respect, & great desire to want to know just what it is you are selling. You wont be aware that you have already closed the deal! That’s brilliance & that’s the beauty of were this thing comes from. Though, We take credit for it, you cant recall how you got it. Came from our inner-self. That’s the seed I am talking about. You see it’s not the things we say. It’s the sincerity in what actions we take! That’s what makes it all possible. Now remember its a numbers game. EVERYTHING is!
The path to success is a mathematical wonder. As you move forward securing the future. Old ideas & behaviors will again become challenges, so like the first grade. Simple adding and subtracting, Will allow you to subtract the negative dreams. Add new positive dreams & examples , Dreams that are beyond comprehension. These will allow you to benefit your community. Because you will have all ready replaced the old ones. This leaves room for balance. Divide your available dreams from your positive dream flow & refigure this equation in to helping others. This way you will always have what you need. & now are able to take part in helping the less fortunate. Those are the people that can't understand this concept. Make no mistake they are included in this simple equation. Many successful people understand this. Others are still striving for greatness. Some will get it. Some wont.
It’s a gift that comes from within. It’s designed to be shared with all who recognize & are striving for perfection. I can only imagine. That’s infinity!!!
AMERICA'S A TEAM, LETS WIN! The secret to success is remembering it’s a gift. Used
to benefit ourselves as well the globe & beyond...
Ruining your life...
This year at my high school, 6 students were RUSHED to the HOSPITAL during school hours for OVERDOSING on perscription medication that was STOLEN from their parents. Only what the students did not realize that these pills were not only for people with a heart condition, but were also EXPIRED, which cause them to be way more HARMFUL than just taking them alone. Needless to say, all 6 of these kids were EXPELLED from school and the child that was handing out the drugs is facing FEDERAL CHARGES. Drugs may seem like a way to have fun or to do away with some pain that your having, but in fact these drugs harm you more than they HELP you. They hurt your body over a course of TIME if not instantly causing a bad reaction. Also these drugs can keep you from doing well in school, getting a job, or just being able to carry on a normal life. SO DONT DO IT!
It's important...
It's important to everyone to stop drugs...
because it not only affect your health but also affect the happiness of your family...
please think...
Your format is very super......
the colors you used is fantastic
i think it's better to add some more info in your site....
thankx

Drug Rehab
Not Shocking Statistics
The statistics above were not at all shocking. Many people suffer from drug addiction, and seek help. It is very hard to find a reputable rehab center.

1 out of 3 young smokers
1 out of 3 young smokers will die from a tobacco related disease? What's the definition of a young smoker? Out of my social circle I think 90% were smokers at some point in their lives, most often when they were young...does this mean 30% of my friends are going to die from this? I jsut read an interesting article about drug rehab research and after working with research myself (though in an unrelated field) I've learned to not trust numbers too much
The statistics are pretty
The statistics are pretty scary, I am a smoker too, I tried to give up countless times but it looks like I can't handle this by myself. My friends advised me to attend drug treatment and get professional help for better results. I don't want to become part of those statistics...
You are perfectly right,
You are perfectly right, drug abusers tend to deny they are addicted and this can only make them feel worse. I think this is the main cause that makes the refuse treatment. Prescription drug addiction is one of those forms of addiction that makes the victims feel they do nothing wrong.
Sphere of Influence - INFORM YOUR FRIENDS!
Every one of us interact with other human beings at some point each and every day. We all communicate with many different people. They could be fellow students, friends, teachers, parents or even our bosses at an after school job. As we come in contact with one another, we have conversations, share experiences, work together, play together and ultimately learn from each other. Most of us can agree that we shape our own destinies through the decisions we make in life and we must deal with the consequences thereof. We can shape our own destinies by making decisions, but what exactly shapes us as people and what really affects our thinking process as we are faced with decisions every day like whether or not we should take that pill a "friend" is offering? Our past experiences, memories, conversations, books we've read and moral fiber instilled by parents and friends shape our psyche. Our psyche (mind, soul and spirit) is a fragile, malleable and subjective entity that operates as many things, one of the most vital being a "decision-making filter." Every decision we are faced with must first pass through the metal detectors of our psyche so we can infer whether or not we are going to let the potentially harmless or harmful consequences of the proposed decision into our lives. To break it down: the psyche is shaped by friends, parents, experiences, conversation and media. Thus, the decision making process is shaped by our psyche. I went through all of that to get to this point: we influence the people around us in drastic ways and most of the time we do so obliviously and involuntarily. We all have a sphere of influence in which our actions and words can speak so loudly that our very life is exemplary of the freedom and prosperity that comes along with a drug free life. We can rally a cry far louder and more influential than any MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving) convention if we all would do our part drug free individuals informing our friends and colleagues of the dangers of drug abuse as it surfaces in every day conversation. Every time you inform someone of those dangers, it registers in their brain and is stored as information or an experience. The next decision they make about using drugs will now be filtered through a psyche which a drug free person has influenced. If a potential drug abuser is surrounded by enough drug free people and is exposed to the right amount of information, the next time an opportunity to do drugs is presented, they are very likely to hesitate and hopefully decline the offer. The chance of them becoming drug free is greatly increased and they may even make a life long decision to abstain from drugs. I'm not suggesting you constantly shove the scariest consequences of drug abuse you can muster down your friends' throats, but I am asking you to lead an exemplary life and to put in your two cents about drug abuse when it comes up. If all drug people did their part in the public square and in their sphere of influence to inform people of the dangers of drug abuse, people would be dramatically influenced to choose a drug free life. The implications of this kind of system would be huge! We can change our communities one friend at a time. If you influence 3 people to abstain from drugs and they each influence 3 other people to abstain from drugs your influence has already reached 12 people! You don't have to be a leader of a club or the most popular guy in school... or even have a large sum of money to start an anti-drug campaign to fight drug abuse. You can fight it every day by leading a drug free life and speaking out. So, I encourage you to fight drug abuse and the destruction of human life it leaves in its wake with the most powerful weapon you have: your sphere of influence.
I agree Laurie!
Most people if not all that are abusing drugs are self medicating. The first step is admitting you have a problem, the next step is asking for help from the ones around who love you...that may be the hardest part! If you think that you dont have a problem your in denial because anything that a person uses to alter their state mind is a way of avoiding their life...its the ultimate escape. are u form CT?
1st step
DRUG ABUSE ISN'T SOMETHING EASY,BUT THE FIRST STEP IS TO ADMIT TO SOME ONE THAT SOMETHIGN IS BOTHERING YOU
Organize a recreation center
There is Recreation centers around each neighborhood already but they are not so much fun. We need to have a swimming pool, basketball court, football field,computers,and all other things that teenagers enjoy these days. We could have concerts and all kind of different events that they might enjoy.
