It is Time to Stop Blaming and Start Winning
Until each of us stops blaming someone else for whatever goes wrong
with our day, we are not going forward, we are looking backward and
dragging the past with us through each day.
You know, the past gets heavier with each passing day?
Of course it does because you have one more day added to it.
Here is my un official advice. Stop blaming. Start being responsible.
The basic laws of physics are clear here. For every action there is an equal response.
The quantum laws of physics define things in theory even better.
Looking at energy. The kind of energy you put out is the kind of energy you will receive.
So, you want blame? Go ahead and blame.
You want prosperity? Think about shifting your focus to more positive things.
And success can follow.
An attitude of gratitude supports success.
I have a newsletter that I call ThinkThanks and Act. You can see part of it online at http://bydpb.wordpress.com/ or subscribe at thinkthanks@aweber.com .
If you are caught in a cycle of negative thinking, it might help.
AND it has marketing information and tools included for my internet marketing friends.
Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. —Martin Luther King, Jr.In 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr received the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent Civil Rights activism in the USA. In 1968 he was assassinated. A tragic loss. For those of us who lived the day it will never be forgotten.
Learn more about him and his life and his Dream.
Do something today to demonstrate that his Dream is yours also.
Martin Luther King is an excellent example of how ONE person can make a difference. Live your life so you will too.
Be non-violent.

No Gills
Ambrose Bierce was a contemporary author with Mark Twain and Stephen Crane and was well known for his satirical or cynical views among his peers. I'd call it sardonic.(go ahead and look it up).
But this quote just fit so well for humans who see themselves as the end all and be all of all creation. I could almost hear him saying this on a fancy cruise ship full of self-righteous corporate CEOs on vacation(mind you, this is not type cast CEOs, just a touch of atmosphere).
The ocean is a body of water occupying about two
thirds of a world made for man (sic)---who has no gills.
Ambrose Bierce
I confess, that IS my type of humor. See more from Bierce, who may be too sharp tongued for your tastes.

You need to read this
So I share this "heads up" with you. Like a wake up call.
Thank God for Evolution is his newest book and it comes with high praise and cogent social commentary.
If this book doesn't end the science and religion war,
it's certainly a MAJOR step in the right direction! See the video trailer for the book by clicking on the image to the right. or here.
I would say more but I am going now to READ this book.
