Voting Elections What Affects Our Opinions And How Can We Change It

Greetings everyone 

This was an exciting and stressful week for some, emotions were high everyone was rooting for someone. 

It’s a bit difficult for me to me to be honest about this but even though I do follow a bit the politics of the day, I must say what I observe from the people around me that most of us don’t follow politics that much and don’t do the research in depth to know what facts are true and which facts are exaggerated.

Our leaning towards one politician or another is basically built on the surroundings that we were brought up and those who we find ourselves in constant companionship.

To a certain degree I might say, we become by whom we surround ourselves with, our friends the books we read, all those are really the ones influencing our decisions and actions.

Another interesting thing about voting that I’m observing is, the great numbers of people that don’t go out and vote, the reasons I think can be are

1.       They don’t see their value as an individuals that they will make a difference

2.       They don’t have the facts straight and the research is to extensive and complex

3.       They just don’t care since their view of life and success is limited to a very narrow minded view and they take each day as it comes not thinking or planning major changes in their life for the better.

Now the above observations are crucial to discuss, since they relate not just to voting but reiterate in our lives on a daily level.

 I will take just one of the observations for now and decipher it how it can affect our success in life.

-Our surroundings affect our outlook in life –

If you are struggling in any given area one of the first things that you should analyze is your surroundings.

Your Surroundings can be divided in two basic parts

People and Intake of Information

People - The people you surround yourself are from the major factors in your decisions and actions in life. If you are looking for to make some change, from the first things is change your surroundings.

Family Friends, observe them if they are knowingly or unknowingly resisting your change. 

Sometimes by them being exactly the opposite than what you are striving for and thereby hindering your change. 

For instance if you would like to open a business or any other venture that is not common between your family and friends, you will find the challenge a lot more daunting and terrifying. 

Since those around you Knowingly or unknowingly give off messages that you can hear or just feel that holds you back and adds the limiting belief that you won’t be able to succeed.

Now I know changing friends and family is easier said than done and in truth if you have family or true friends I wouldn't recommend  you to change them since there is nothing as beautiful as family and friends. So what is my advice to you?

1.      

    First observe and accept that their beliefs and assumptions can be holding you back and to a certain degree don’t discuss the things that are important to you that know are different than their mind view.

2.       Start spending time with other people that do share your passion for success or they have already the things you would like to acquire.

Intake of Information -  what you read, watch, and listen all these have a pro founding effect on how you think and thereby affecting your actions.

Now the solution for this one is pretty simple change the reading material that you are reading, in this time and age there is unlimited amount of reading and listening material so your input of information can be synonymous with the results you are trying to reach.

Let’s go out and vote ourselves in to success, please share this post with you family and friends by clicking on the top left hand of the page

wishing you the success you deserve and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sandy We Don’t Give Up

Greetings Everyone,

This hurricane was least expected here on the east coast since we are not used to weather disasters. And now that this is all over the pain is just beginning for all of those that lost loved ones and all of us that were affected by losing their houses, income, valuables. For those still struggling with surviving in these tough times, without electric and heat, my heart goes out for them.

While the storm was brewing I actually saw we were dealing with a weather disaster that is real.  Being locked in to my apartment I had the time to contemplate and muse about disaster and survival, how history repeats itself constantly. 

Just the disasters over the last few years, to name a few the tsunamis in west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, and the one in japan last year and the ones right in our own back yard hurricane Katrina and Irene that left devastation and destruction in its path.  

I observed one clear message that’s important to all of us, but my intention with my following message is to those who weren't affected to the degree to lose sanity of mind and reach the depth of despair by not knowing how they will continue on in life or how they will start again from scratch building their resources and finding a dwelling place to live.

For those people my only message would be a tangible one in the form of a helping hand by offering donations or from my time to help those in need. 

But for the rest of us, now is also a time of learning, a time when our hearts are open and emotional to the disaster around us. Now the lessons we  learn can have a great impact on us and may change us for the rest of our lives.

Experience is not what happens to a man.  It is what a man does with what happens to him.  ~Aldous Leonard Huxley, Texts and Pretexts, 1932

The fact of life is, that in the DNA of humanity there is the will to live on, the will to rebuild and with this power nations have rebuild and started to function again. 

This is a very important part of the human nature but one that resurfaces usually only under extreme circumstances. 

Would it not be great if we can be advanced for once and outsmart our challenges, so when they come upon us we can greet it with courage and confidence knowing we will preserve. As long as we have the will to preserve nothing can stop us from overcoming the challenges and not only overcome them but also use it to our advantage to grow stronger and ambitious as never before

Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward said Soren Kierkegaard.

• Lets internalize the messages of the universe so we can grow stronger and not leave ourselves to be blown around by any wind that blows our way. 

•  Let’s put up our strong wall of defense so we can be ready when the next storm of emotion hits us and wants to destroy us or keep us back from achieving the goals we desire upon ourselves.

Whoa!!!  I apologize for that ramble but I had to get this off my chest.

Now let me sum it up in a clear simple formula so we can all live and hopefully learn.

We all have internally built in to our human structure the will to survive and live.

However these powers are only recognized when faced with extreme conditions or circumstances but when facing the daily challenges of life, most of us feel helpless and don't know how to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way.

Believe in the power that’s hidden within you and know and say to yourself, 

I can do it 

I will do it

I know I can do it

At all cost I will do what my heart desires

I will not get intimidated by the challenges that face me because I know the strength that I possess hidden within me.

Let not the tremendous loss of life and money that Hurricane Sandy caused us be in vain let us take this dreadful time and change it to a time of hope a time of rebuilding our lives to a new and greater standard.

Wishing you all the best and if you feel this message was inspirational to you then please share the message with those whom you wish to inspire and let us grow together.
