A Holiday Thought!

“Let’s choose today to quench our thirst for the ‘good life’ we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.”

Bullying and Teen Suicide? With James Armstrong

Since when did we live in a world where people allowed their children to behave so badly towards other children that those children being bullied felt they had no way out other than to commit suicide?  In light of these recent tragic events and the deaths of so many other gay teens and countless other children over the years, I have to ask myself, what could I have done to have stopped this insanity before it started and reached such a sad and tragic end for so many innocent lives?!!!  We live in a time and day where very few people want to take personal responsibility for their own actions or to step up to the plate to be a role model for our youth!

We as parents and citizens all have a direct responsibility to make sure that our children grow up in safe, healthy and happy surroundings where they can grow, flourish and have the ongoing support they need to become all that they can be in life.  Shame on all of us for allowing this to occur!  Instead of blaming everyone else for the problems that we are seeing in the world today, maybe we should all take a long hard look at ourselves and figure out what we can individually do to change ourselves in a positive way to make sure that this type of tragedy NEVER happens again in anyone’s life!!  After all, our children are our future, and if we do not invest in loving, nurturing and mentoring them to be the quality people and citizens that they are all meant to be, then we have no one to blame but ourselves for what happens next.  I for one choose love in my daily actions and strive to continuously support our youth in their personal and professional growth so that this type of tragedy will NEVER happen again!

What can you do in your own life to make sure that this type of tragedy never happens again?  Who do you think is truly to blame for these types of tragedies?  Why do you think that the children who died felt they had no way out other than suicide?

Giving Thanks

I’d like to introduce you to a group of people who give thanks every day. They aren’t any more special than any other group; they actually have a lot in common with many others. They are a group of people that are thankful that they are alive and thankful for a program that helped them see that there is life after tragedy.

This particular program is called “Winter Challenge” and they are a group of participants in a yearly winter program for disabled skiers sponsored by Greek Peak Adaptive Sports for the Disabled (GPAS) in Greek Peak, NY. This program is designed specifically to provide a week-long fast-track program to learn how to ski or snowboard for those who are blind, paraplegic or amputee adults. During this intense week of training, participants will not only learn a new sport, which is a difficult undertaking for anyone, they’ll share new experiences, camaraderie and a real sense of accomplishment (not to mention sore bones and a lot of fun!). All participants receive full scholarships. And all instructors are volunteers.

Check out their website at http://www.winterchallenge.org. Read their stories and watch these folks in action. You will not be disappointed!

Did Florida really just legalize gay adoption? With James Armstrong

We live in a world of diverse people with highly charged emotions regarding politics and the values that we each hold as sacred.  I truly believe that how we react and respond to the highly important and controversial issues facing us today is the key to our success as a society and to the world as a whole!  America was founded on diversity and the guiding premise that each man and women are free to be exactly who they want to be and were destined to be.  If each one of us lived our lives from a place of unconditional love and acceptance then what an amazing world this would be!!!  We would each be able to live our lives in a happy and healthy way that worked best for us, instead of worrying about what the joneses are thinking and doing in their lives in relation to us.

Regardless of where you stand on the gay issue, don’t we want our kids to be brought up in homes where there are love unconditionally, accepted for exactly who they are, and supported on a core level to succeed in life in every way possible?   Maybe we need to ask ourselves if all of the hate and judgment of the past has accomplished anything constructive at all on any issue, and whether or not there is a way to be who we are authentically, while agreeing to disagree with each other in a loving way on these kinds of highly charge emotional issues that best support all of our individual success and growth on every level!

Do you think that gay adoption should be legalized in cities across the Nation?  Do you think that we should put our political and religious differences aside and support our kids being raised in a loving and supportive gay home?  Do your own beliefs on this issue stem from what your parents taught you to believe growing up or are they a result of what you truly believe for yourself?

Can we really make our dreams come true? With James Armstrong

You hear it all the time, “If only my dreams would come true” or “How do I make my dreams come true”, but how do any of us really make that happen in our lives?  One man has been on an amazing journey to help people all over the world do exactly that-fully realize their hopes and dreams.  Justin Barakat is the CEO of DreamPathFinder.com and he has the best job in the world, he helps give people the tools and support they need to make their dreams come true!  Imagine an innovative new technology that really can help you realize your dreams and create the life you always dreamed of.  Think it can’t happen, well think again and hold on for the ride of your life!

Do you think it’s possible for a company to help you make your dreams come true?  If you could make your dreams come true what would they be like and why?  What percentage of people do you think really have their dreams come true in life?

Are You Willing To Be Different? With Eugene Ebner

Have you always felt different than everybody else, like you didn’t fit in or belong? Like no one understood you or got you?  Well, me too.  Many times I have felt like a Martian living in a strange, foreign land, disconnected from everyone, struggling with the temptation to conform and follow the popular crowd.  As children we are often taught how to think, act and live a certain way, to follow a predestined guidebook of rules, beliefs and ways of thinking.

The majority of society follows these rules diligently without question, accepting it as their truth, fearing the consequences if they don’t. They realize that is far more easier to be like everybody else than to be different.  Certain individuals though refuse to conform and would rather stand alone than be apart of the crowd embracing their uniqueness and sharing it with the world.  When it comes down to it, we are all different, special and unique, with our own experiences, talent, gifts and stories.  I say, embrace Diversity Now!

So the question is, do you want to stand out, embrace who you are, as a diverse being or not?  Are you willing to be different?
