Is The Race for Headlines Driving The Decline In National Confidence

Abuse comes in many forms and fashions. Definitions have become very broad and confusing. Knowingly abusing people comes with severe consequences....unless you hide behind the cloak called "Media". What the Media is doing to those who have (possibly) lost loved ones, should be criminal at best. Hopefully, those families are getting different information than the rest of the world. The confusion and vacillation is, in and of itself, is abusive. Malaysian Flight 370 suspected debris seems to be a pawn being played by the Media. Media reports, sound conclusive, and then follow up with statements of "no conclusive evidence" is found. Then to convey information by "TEXT" certainly adds to the criminality of the "Media ABUSE" on those who are missing loved ones.
         Coverage of the G8 Summit, Mudslides, Crimea and Russia, Naval Base Shooting, and much much more are issue that the Media uses to control the Confidence of our Great Country and Economy. Confusion and uncertainty "Spin" the hope of recovery totally out of control and out of our minds. It is scary to recognize the power and effect that the Media has on our state of mind which controls out state of Economic Health. Lack of confidence in our Economy is in fact, what put this great country into it's Recession. When UNCERTAINTY runs rampid, people "tense up" and quit spending. This reduces the volume of money through the market places which effects profits and losses. Like wise, when Confidence grows, the money, formerly being held back, begins to flow which increases Consumer Confidence and the Nation begins to recover. Whose Agenda is driving the Media to "Control" Consumer Confidence, which in turn Drives our Recovery or Demise? Being aware of the Media manipulation is the beginning to our" Grassroots Self Elevation" efforts to return this Country's Greatness.

"The Hand That Rocks The Cradle...Rules The World" Respecting Women for who they really are!

This Blog is about Respecting the Power of the Women in our lives. As a Boy Scout I was taught to be respectful especially around Women. As I became older, The Cowboy Code taught me the same thing. When I got married I realized the importance of those Life Lessons. WOW. It amazed me that women were surprised when I would open a door or allow them to enter first. Thank Heaven for "Goodly Parents". Every Woman is someones Daughter and is a Daughter of God. When we look at women we really need to recognize them as someones Daughter and treat them as such. Many of us have Daughters and would fight to the death to protect them. Why then do we sometimes verbally, physically, and mentally abuse them? Even a condescending word or comment can be extremely destructive. We can not "Un-ring a bell". At a young age a teacher brought into class a beautiful wedding cake fully decorated. It was gorgeous and looked delicious. The teacher ask if anyone wanted cake? Naturally everyone raised their hand. I watched as he carefully cut the cake and prepared the plate for it to go on. Then he grabbed the slice with his hand, squished it and placed it on the plate and asked, "who wants the first slice"? Not one hand went up. Many of our women today have had their beauty soiled and mistreated and have forgotten how beautiful they REALLY are. This lesson has stuck with me for years and yes, I to need to remember to treat "someones Daughter with respect for the person she is. Next time you want to hurt or belittle ANY woman, Please remember that it could be your Daughter that it is happening to. Always remember....."The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Rules The World".

GDP....Gross Domestic Products. Nations are Measured. Where do we Individually Measure up?

Economics in Politics is one of the proverbial "Hot Potatoes" of the day. It is an indicator of the of a Nations collective health in regards to production of goods and services. Politicians use this number to as a general gage of productivity. Drilling down a bit deeper, it is an indication of the health of our business attitudes and environment. This in depth look will reveal the strength or weakness of the business owners drive, commitment, and comfort level with the future of the economy. Drill down a bit deeper and you will discover the comfort and commitment level of the employees of that same company. Drill down a bit further and you will see the Core Values and Commitment level of FAMILIES! The Comfort level, or lack there of, is very evident. Think about it, when our GDP (Gross Domestic Products) numbers are down, it ultimately is a reflection on Families. Individually, there is seemingly little we can do to have a profound effect on our Nations GDP, at least in the "eating an elephant" perspective. I propose that we can have a huge effect on our nations GDP. It may not show up over night but it can happen quickly as in the case of "Compounding Interest". The Domino Effect can change our entire world. OK, so how do we change? Implementing new "Tiny Habits" in our lives. Proactively looking at our undesirable habits is a perfect place to start. It may be as simple as brushing or flossing our teeth, or hanging up our clothes when we come home from work. It's turning off the TV during dinner and TALKING to our children about their day and how they are doing. The important thing to remember is that we need to start with the small things which take less than 30 seconds to do and require NO WILLPOWER. The real power of these ridiculously simple adjustments is "SUCCESS MOMENTUM". The sub-conscious mind does not know the difference between a Huge success and a Small success. Repetition of small successes breeds bigger and bigger successes and the momentum also grows. When we build our selves, we build our families. When we build our families we build our employers. When we build our employers production goes up. As production goes up so does our GDP numbers and a sense of Confidence and Belief in  our Country and our Society goes up as well. "Success Momentum" is more powerful than any bomb ever created or ever will be created, but it all starts with ME and YOU TODAY!!! Let's make a difference!!

Derailing the Intentional Distractions Designed to Obscure the Truth & STRIP Us of our CORE VALUES>

I remember as a very young man watching magic tricks. I was always blown away by how thing appeared and disappeared. Trip to Disneyland became extremely important to me once I discovered the "Magic Shop". I bought many magic tricks and read about magic and how to distract with one hand so no one noticed what the other hand was doing. "Shell Games" amazed me by the need to carefully watch the ball and where it was going. I always guessed wrong. AAH... the "slight of hand".
     After many years of dealing with the "slight of hand" in business and other venues, I realize the power of the mind, our attention, and the occupation of our opinions. One of the great War Strategies was (and still is) the ART of  "DIVIDE and CONQUER". Yes I do believe it is an ART, a learned skill. The "Shell Game" I think is a game of Divide and Conquer of our minds and our attention. I can't help but wonder as I look at the world today (and over the past many years) and wonder if we are not Living in a "Shell Game". The distractions today are impossible to ignore, yet what is going on just outside of our view? Relinquishing control of the Internet is just one of the many distractions that may be keeping us occupied and unconscious to the bigger things that may be looming over our heads. Maybe it is time to look up from the grind stone and look past the obvious major issues that occupy of time, concentration, conversation, and our emotional energy. Going back to the Basic Core Values of Decency,  has always been the "RESET" button for our lives. Let's find our "RESET" button for our own lives and become better aware of what is happening around us on a daily basis.

Are you feeling Hostage to the" Out of Control"????

Frustration expresses just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ever changing events in our world today. If I let myself get caught up in it, it could drive a good man to drugs or alcohol. A great man once said, "Lift where you stand".  I certainly could not lift a Baby Grand Piano by myself, but with enough willing hands lifting from where they stand, the job can get done. Collective action can make miracles happen. The fear is that since we feel so minuscule in our abilities to bring about change, that we "Give Up" and Give In". we can not change the world as a whole but we can change our selves and our family. living an exemplary everyday live will not help the Malaysian jet to be found or to reduce or add Sanctions to Russia, but it will create a place of refuge for our spouses and our children. Heaven on earth is one of the most valuable commodities in our world today. We need to be cognisant of not "Bringing it Home" with us after a particularly rough day. Life's issues need to stay at the door right next to our shoes. Faith and Hope is the language that needs to be spoken in our homes. Our children have enough negative to deal with in their everyday lives that they don't need their problems compounded by the negativity of those whom they look to for support and peacefulness. We can change our world if we will but "Lift where we Stand" and encourage and teach our children to do the same. Repetition of good in our homes will change the world eventually. Bruce Lee said "I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I do fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. May we all find the courage to "Lift Where we Stand".
