Love People, Period
Look at this film before reading this blog. http://blog.givemore.com/compassion/
Part of the problem is the eggshells.
We’ve laid them out around ourselves and become worried about stepping on those that others have laid around themselves.
Some of us (all of us at one time or another) have forgotten our interdependence and obligation to other people. We’ve put ourselves (our comfort, our hearts, our minds) at the center of our universe (our universe?).
I want to encourage you to Love Your People.
Who are your people? Everyone who’s important to you… your family… your friends… your colleagues… your customers, patients, team, students. These are your people (and you’re theirs).
And love? It’s care.
And care? It’s attention and contribution (what you give, what you do). It’s kindness, patience, generosity, and truth. It’s encouraging, apologetic, forgiving, and thankful.
We’ve let too much get between us (each other) and the reasons we’re here. We’ve allowed ourselves to slip into a state of busy distraction – seeking the complex instead of embracing the simple. It’s time to stop going through the motions with our days (hours, minutes). We need to give more and enjoy more.
“The meaning of love is not to be confused with some sentimental outpouring. Love is something much deeper than emotional bosh.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
American civil rights leader

A Shout Out to "The Angry Black Bitch"...U R Fantastic
Monday, December 06, 2010
You've got to be fucking kidding me...
Happy Monday, y'all!
A bitch is awake, drinking coffee and full of bitchitude.
Shall we?
Word has come down that the Obama Administration is getting their compromise on with the GOP again. This time it’s over the fuck up that keeps on fucking – President Bush II’s tax cuts for the rich. Word is that the Obama Administration is willing to extend those tax cuts for the richest among us in order to get tax cuts for the middle class and the extension of unemployment benefits that is currently being held hostage by a do-nothing lame duck for a reason Congress.
Now there are a lot of sharp angles here, so we’re going to navigate this shit carefully.
Am I the only one who sees that smug ass elephant sipping tea in the middle of the room?
A bitch has been screaming at the television with each news segment covering this shit.
And the chorus asks… “Why are you screaming, Shark-Fu?”
I’m glad you asked!
I’m screaming because no one is asking the question this bitch would ask if my ass got a chance to talk to these fools – what the fuck have the masses gotten out of tax cuts for the rich?
***cue crickets***
Have they created jobs?
Have they stabilized markets?
Have they calmed the business sector?
Have they stimulated anything other than the orgasmic greed of the rich?
***listen as crickets tune up their instruments***
Shit.
There’s a big assed smug as hell elephant sitting in the middle of the room sipping tea, people! Because the GOP is fixin' to pull one hell of a do-nothing while profiting few tax cut extension hustle…and it doesn’t have to happen.
It doesn’t!
Just once…just one fucking time…I’d like for people to challenge these assholes to break it down – how the hell are these tax cuts a necessary thing when we got into this fubar with the same fucking tax cuts in place and when they will do nothing to address anything other than rich people’s craven need to not participate equally in the capitalist machine?
Christ.
Moving forward…
Have we really come to this or is this where we’ve been all along?
Food and shelter for the unemployed masses are being held captive by politicians trying to figure out how to prevent rich people from feeling any of the economic horror facing the rest of us.
When we the people are presented the argument that fighting to extend tax cuts for the rich is worth delaying unemployment benefits for hard working average Americans…and that argument is entertained without a full public shaming of the GOP for having the unmitigated gall to articulated it given all that they’re economic policies have put the American people through…all while the present administration cowers whimpering in a political corner they created by inviting that vampire to dinner and discussions in the first fucking place…shit….
…when this is our new reality, we the people have been hoodwinked and bamboozled!
And yes, I’m looking at those that adore tea too – y’all got hustled, ‘cause this shit is politics as usual and you fucked it last night.
Ugh.
But I'm not holding out for a reckoning...not yet, anyway.
A bitch is watching this unfold like a train wreck in slow motion.
By extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich, government will extend the status quo. The same status quo that ain’t working for shit. So in reality the Obama Administration is trading unemployment benefits for tax cuts so they can kick the ball down the road a year or two.
The sad thing is we’ve been here before. Or at least some of us have – I’m old enough to remember this trickle-down shit from the Reagan years and trust that it put a hurt on the nation for years.
Hell, I still have nightmares!
But here we are again…listening to the same tired ass promises from all sides and watching the same sorry ass play while these fiends raid out pockets in the coatroom.
I’m not holding out hope for a reckoning…not yet…not in an America where most are comfortable believing that the wages of poverty are hunger, want and need.
The masses are gleefully feasting on Soylent Green and far too many buy the idea that this is the way things need to be…
“Hush your mouth!” they caution.
“Massa gonna give us a slice of that bacon!”
Blink.

Law of Nature
Nature’s Laws
The first law of natures is organization. Power is organized effort. And everything must work in harmony. The struggle is between forces and desires of the mind and impulses of right and wrong. Each person has two distinct personalities and as many as six in one person. The forces must be harmonious if one is to achieve a given goal. Power grows out of organized knowledge through application and use. The master Mind is two or more minds coming together to achieve the purpose of success in an endeavor. A “Definite Chief Aim”. This is your Power Group.(Note:Read the “Science of Power” by Benjamin Kidd, the essay by Emerson “Compensation” and :Mind in the Making by Robinson). Remember you must have a singleness of purpose you cannot be a scatter brain. Have good posture and walk tall. Use your voice with good pitch and tone. Use word of trend, nature and quality.
What is your Definite Chief Aim? Are you auto suggesting?
Law # 1 Out of Allied Power comes Greater Power. Millions are concentrating on poverty and failure and getting an abundance of both “Before anything can become reality, it must first become a thought.” Self confidence is the quality with which the mind is recharged and made positive like a battery. “No man can become a great leader of men unless he has the milk of kindness in his heart and leads by suggestion and kindness rather than force.” “Compete with only the best men and women and you will gain strength and confidence.” All rivers and some men are crooked because they follow the path of least resistance.
1st: Know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Chief Aim. Therefore I demand of myself persistent aggressive and continuous action towards attainment.
2nd I realize that he dominating thoughts of my mind eventually reproduce themselves outwardly in bodily action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. Therefore I will concentrate my mind for thirty minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to be by creating a mental picture of this person and then transforming that picture into reality through practical service.
3rd I know that through the principle of auto suggestion any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of realizing it; therefore I shall devote ten minutes daily to demanding myself of the development of the factors named in the sixteen lesson of the Reading Course on the “Laws of Success”.
4th I have clearly mapped out and written down a description of my definite purpose in life, for the coming five years. I have set a price on my services for each of these five years; a price that I intend to receive through strict application of the principles of efficient, satisfactory service which I will render in advance.
5th I fully realize that no wealth can endure unless built on truth and justice. Therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to me the forces I wish to use and the cooperation of the people. I will induce other to serve me because I will first serve them. I will eliminate hatred a jealousy selfishness and cynicism by developing love for all humanity. Because I know that a negative attitude towards others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me because will believe in them and myself.. I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory and repeat it allowed once a day will full faith that it will gradually influence my entire life so that I will become a successful and happy worker in my chosen field of endeavor.
If you think you are beaten you are; If you think your dare not you don’t; If you like to win but you think you can’t , it’s almost certain you won’t.
