Pick yourself up by your own boot straps. God helps those who help themselves. You will not find people who offer selfless help, altruism is rare. You will only find mockery and scammers and people who will help you only if there is something they value for compensation. Reconcile the past within yourself, do not turn to psychiatrists or religion for help with your problems. Recognize those who have cheated you are the true weak victims, forgive and avoid them because you can change and they can not. Learn from the past but focus on the future.
Set goals for yourself. Your goals have to be a realistic reflection of your abilities and potential. Once you have determined what you want in life, go get it. COMPETE WITH YOURSELF TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS, do not compete with your peers over materialistic objectives, this will keep you out of unhealthy relationships, out of debt and independent of spirit-killing, wage-slave employment. Write down short and long term plans to accomplish your goals and take the action necessary to make daily tangible progress. Keep your plans tucked away and private. Focus on them one step at a time with the knowledge each step is one step closer to your ultimate goal. This is a way to make yourself disciplined because without the ability to focus and implement your plan you will fail unfortunately. Celebrate progress. I know focus is the toughest part, with all the negative influences that may be in your life. Shield yourself from the outside influences at all costs and “Just do it“. You only have one life and that’s just the way it is. ACTA NON VERBA is Latin for “action instead of talk”, make this your personal mantra. Life is a ticking clock with a beginning and an end, you cannot afford to waste anymore time!
You may discover the negative influences may be from those closest to you. Family, friends, church and employers, this may be where your plans start. Determine with objectivity, how and if you’ll be able to meet your goals with these people remaining in your life. Religious fundamentalism is wrong, practice religious tolerance instead. RECOGNIZE RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS AS BEING A THREAT TO YOUR FREEDOM AND A THREAT TO THE FUTURE. You may have to start by leaving to a new city, state or country in order to escape these negative influences. Do this as a last resort, or first step depending on your circumstances. If you have children, they need to be your first priority and nurturing them to fulfill their potential is your first god given duty. There are few things more beautiful in life than a good parent and conversely there are few things more disgraceful than a bad parent.
The reality is that if you are a good person you are probably being exploited by some bad people in one way or another. YOUR VALUE SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT THAN THEIRS, as previously mentioned. Put yourself in a situation where your hard work will pay off, either in useful experience or promotion. STAY AWAY FROM MLM’S , TELEMARKETING and COMMISSION BASED JOBS. An honest mutually beneficial day of work is very good fuel for your spirit. Use a “bad job” as a stepping stone to get a “good job”. Continue your education and training to increase your employment options, one course at a time is infinitely better than nothing. Seek employment that allows for peace and tranquility in every aspect of your life, DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS. If all you have at the end of a hard week is a few extra dollars, stop contributing to your own demise by wasting it on cigarettes, junk food, alcohol and drugs!! Take that money and buy a pair of running shoes or swimming goggles or a gym pass. Go for a run or a vigorous walk, there is no better way to eliminate stress and free your mind with positive effects than exercising your body. The surest way to fail at meeting your goals is to continue to waste your precious funds on cigarettes, junk food, alcohol and drugs. By doing this you are letting the SCAMMERS AND TYRANTS win and you are essentially donating your life to be used and wasted by them. This goes against your inherent god given right to a life of freedom.
RESPECT EVERYONE, BE KIND TO MOST PEOPLE, BE CHARITABLE TO FEW AND TRUST ONLY THOSE YOU KNOW. If you live by this set of principles your life will be much easier.
