Eye of The Tiger - Part 2 (Ric Flair Style)

In this video, Ric Flair is not only talking about wrestling. He's talking about Life.

"The BOTTOM LINE… in this sport is: You walk down that Aisle, and you get in that Ring, and you Win!

WOO!" - Ric Flair


Don't allow shyness to conquer you. Go after what you want in Life! Love, Wisdom, a Strong Mind, a Goal, a Purpose... You can have it all as long as you work hard, focus, and believe in yourself - and in what you're doing.

Love And Hate - notes (an incomplete mix of a few recurring thoughts meshed and mashed together)

Bob Marley - One Love



Video provided by - ReggaeMan900

---------------------------------------------

Now, I understand that some people have preferences when it comes to dating and relationships. I admit, I'm kind of particular about who I date also.

I also understand that some people have fixations, fetishes, and fantasies about being in a romantic relationship with a certain type.

I think most people would agree (if they really thought about it) that some of us can't help our addictions. Or, conquer them overnight.

Some of us can't help who we're attracted to. Or, what type of person we're attracted to. Or, what race we're attracted to.

But, what really irritates me and (I'm sure), many of the romantics and some of the single men and women out there are those people who have the gall to pass up on a good man or good woman because of their social status or the color of their skin.

Not only have I met people who refuse to date OUTSIDE of their race or "class" and social circle. BUT!

I've met people who refuse to date WITHIN their race and social circle!

Look around! You see these folks everywhere!

Blacks who won't date blacks. Whites who don't date whites. Asians who don't date Asians. Americans who refuse to date Americans... Hispanics who don't date certain Hispanics. Good guys and girls who prefer thugs and hoodrats over girls and guys who have class and character!

I know fixations and addictions are hard to fight (especially if you've ever experienced Ecstasy with a certain type). But, let's admit it: Some people will pass on "a good thing" simply because they are prejudice, or have parents or friends who are prejudice.

They'll refuse Love or let a good prospect walk RIGHT OUT OF THEIR LIFE because of their arrogance or delusional thinking/ brainwashed/ influences won't allow their instincts/intuition to tell them when they have a good man or woman (of another race or OF THEIR RACE) staring them right in the face!

I know culture and religious backgrounds are important to many people, but God doesn't care about that. And, True Love is blind. So, why pass on someone who is good FOR you and who wants to be good TO you for a risky relationship with someone who could care less about you and who would abuse you and use you?

What the hell???

Some people would rather throw away their dreams chasing a nightmare.

I know what you're saying: It's ALL a risk.

True!

IF you don't use Wisdom and your Good Instincts to take the time and choose wisely.

AND, if you don't love your mate the way he or she deserves to be loved to draw good loving out so that you will be blessed with love in return.

Yea, you can make mistakes choosing outside of your "preferred type". But, you can also find a Blessing outside of your "preferred type".

Sometimes, you don't know what you're looking for UNTIL you find it.

If any race was better than the other, why would God plant the seed for the birth of Universe so that we would be created and share this World???

If any of us were better than the other, why do we all live within the same dimensions of life and eventually die?

If we were born to serve or to rule each other, why do we ridicule, fight against, and destroy, our own kind?

If you are superior, why are you looked down on by members of your own race?

And, the craziest thing about it is: It doesn't matter if you're on the bottom or the top, or if you're rich or poor, or ugly or beautiful, or have high social status or low social status, there are people of your OWN RACE who will despise you for one reason or another - no matter how good or superior you proclaim yourself, or your race, or your religion, or your nationality to be.

God doesn't give a rats ass if you're an Intellectual or a Dumbass - or, if you're the strongest person in the World or the weakest... Or, clueless. The System is set-up so that, one day, you'll fade away.

And, if you die without True Wisdom and Understanding of Life, you'll be doing a disservice to those after you.

Even worse: If you die without ever knowing True Love, you will have lived your life without experiencing EVERY EMOTION there is! You will have lived an incomplete life!

You might know Joy, Pain, Anger, Fear, and Sadness. BUT! You will never have known Intimate Love on a Human or Spiritual basis.

You will have never learned all you need to know about Life.

How could you ever understand what Life is really about unless you've experienced all dimensions of it???

How could you understand all aspects of life if you haven't experienced all of your emotions?

How could you really teach your children - or the next generation - or sway the minds of those who are ignorant to all the aspects of Life unless you've experienced it for yourself?

Ain't no way in hell.

A lot of people out there claim they have loved but they have no love in their life. They don't THIRST for love.

As strong and as great as love is, you would think they would crave Love like an addiction.

But, look around... It's sad to say but it seems there is more hate and deceit and tyranny than Love.

Why do you think the World is going to hell in a handbasket right now? Because so many people are UNABLE to teach the next generation what they need to know to make the World a better place for all.

Many of these "teachers" are closed-minded and don't know about Love.

They're consumed by prejudice and arrogance.

(And, that's what those after them learn from them.)

Most of them will keep going from relationship to relationship - outside, or inside of their race, "class", or social circle.

They'll never see the light or choose wisely because their instincts and judgement will always be clouded by their pride and ignorance.

Don't fall into that trap.

Now, I'm not suggesting you ignore your preferences or fixations or date someone just because you feel guilt or sympathy for him or her.

Choose carefully the "type" you like, but follow your heart.

And, above all, Choose Wisely. No matter Who or WHAT they are.

Notes - Suicide Is Not The Answer To Your Problems In Life - 2

A few notes I've been wanting to post sparked by a friend on Yahoo Answers...

Why Suicide is NOT the answer to your problems:

first of all, you MIGHT feel as though people would rather have you gone or would miss you but you really don't know.

second, you don't how severe this step you're thinking of taking would torment the ones you love. when we lose someone we love, it hurts really bad and lasts for a long long long time, trust me.

third, you don't know what the future holds or whose life you will touch or who you help in the times to come. you may save dozens of lives or help someone who is also suffering. or, someone less fortunate or someone in desperate need of advice or friendship or kindness.

and, to be loved, you have to be lovable. you have to reach out to people. give of yourself. give of your time, friendship, and advice.

i know from experience that someone loves you or wants to love you - maybe you just haven't met that person yet. give it time.

stop traveling around and around in the same circles and make new friends. they don't have to outgoing people. make friends with nerds or old folks or skaters or christians or whoever. do something new.

don't let your life become monotonous and boring. that only makes things worse.

there are many dimensions to life and learning and teaching and helping. and you can do any part of it you wish if you open your mind and strive for more.

don't let abuse get you down. there are other people who have experienced this and talk about this all the time. they try to help others overcome it. you can do that too.

if you don't want to join in helping others with that, help them with depression. talk about how you've dealt with it and survived it up to this point. if you don't want to talk about that, learn something new or in a similar field like psychology or law - or become a counselor. or, learn to work on cars. or, learn to ride motorcycles. or, write a book. or become a chef. or, learn to bake different kinds of cookies. whatever.

life is an adventure. do what you like but live it up!

Suicide Is Not The Answer To Your Problems In Life

I know Life sucks for a lot of people right now.

There are many people out here going through a lot of B.S. and crap that a lot of us could not imagine.

Some people are haunted by bad memories. Some people are feeling out of place and out of touch with reality. Some people feel like they don't fit in. And, some people are just full of sadness and pain and don't have any idea why.

Maybe you feel all alone...

It's possible that there's some jerk in your life causing you nothing but grief, confusion, and anguish.

Maybe you see no hope in your future.

I won't lie and say that you can conquer these feelings. Some people are surrounded by friends, family members, and lovers, and still feel empty inside.

They've went to doctors and experts and still didn't find a cure.

They've taken medications but to no avail.

Some of them have tried to conquer their issues with "religion" but that didn't help.

I've been one of those people.

I AM one of those people.

I'm tormented by bad memories every day.

I've been depressed for months and years at a time (even before I was a teen).

I've had more "downs" than "ups" in life.

I've thought about "giving up" quite a few times. And, came close several times.

To be honest, I don't know if I'll have those thoughts OR not. I don't know.

But, one thing I DO know is: I see a purpose for my being here.

We all have a purpose for being here. Me. You. Everybody.

And, you shouldn't ruin your purpose in life due to the trials of life.

There will always be obstacles to face and fight - but, that's just how Life is. It's a series of "tests".

Some things in Life test your emotions. Some things in Life test your intellect. Some things in Life test your Inner Strength.

And, it's Not always about conquering these "tests" that makes us stronger. Sometimes it's how we are able to DEAL with these "tests" that makes us stronger - AND WISER.

And, what is the Benefit of this?

To answer this question, we have to "go deep".

We have to look way way waaay out beyond all space and time.

Now, I don't want to give you the impression that I'm trying to sound like some spiritual guru or Jedi Master or something, but, for a moment, I want you to think about your Karma and the wisdom that you possess and WILL possess as you move forward throughout your life.

There are many things you will learn. The knowledge you gain will make you mentally and emotionally and socially and spiritually stronger.

Your instincts about Life will improve and you will be wiser. Wiser than those who will come after you.

Everyday, you are growing, improving, advancing, gaining insight and learning.

Although it doesn't seem like it (because it's a slow process), you are evolving - either mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or socially, or whatever. Some aspect of your life (besides your age) is advancing whether you realize it or not.

Even when we aren't learning more about ourselves or how to conquer Life's issues we are learning Something.

Hell, you might not realize it, but your instincts about Life are improving every single day! Because you're taking in all of your experiences. All that you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.

You're learning from your Senses, Imagination, AND Emotions.

All of this stuff is taking you to a higher level each and every day of your life!

Now, some people might ask: "What the hell good is all of this learning and acquiring wisdom and building Karma if I'm only gonna die one day anyway?"

That's selfish thinking. And, the dumbest shit anyone could ever fix their soup-suckers (lips) to say.

What in the hell do they think they're supposed to do with all of that knowledge, wisdom, learning, and Karma???

You pass it on to the next generation so that they can learn, improve, grow, advance, and pass on what they've learned from you to the next generation!

In this way, the World KEEPS advancing and evolving! And, sooner or later, we'll get rid of all of the nuts and mean-spirited people who don't belong here and the World will be a better place.

But, there's another reason why we're here also (and, why you may be going through the issues in which you're going through).

We don't see things, hear things, and experience things just so that we can sit around and whine and complain and gossip about them. Much of the things we go through in Life (especially our mistakes) are so that we can learn from them and teach others (those who need and seek our help) how to overcome the same situations and troubles. Or, how to avoid the mistakes that WE made.

That's your Purpose in Life as a human being. To learn, to grow, and to give information, knowledge, or wisdom to another! To share some news, or info, or a skill with another person. To Teach! Not only your children but anyone who needs teaching or your guidance about things in Life.

Like:

- how to become successful
- how to make a marriage work
- how to get out of a bad relationship
- how to fight depression
- how to overcome sadness
- how to fish and feed themselves

Whatever!

No matter what you're going through, you can learn to conquer it OR deal with it and teach the next guy or girl how to do the same. This is a benefit because you will help yourself in the process.

When this girl or guy comes for your help, You will discover changes in your OWN life that need to be made. You will start to see certain mistakes that you are making that you haven't seen before. You will be more aware of traps and pitfalls that keep tripping you up and causing you to experience grief and drama. Your confidence will also move to higher levels as your knowledge, wisdom, and instincts continue to grow.

Don't let a bad relationship get you down.

Don't let "new chapters" in Life confuse you or the passing of Time break your heart.

Don't let these mean men and women drive you insane.

Don't let a bad economy or lack of money break your spirit.

Keep Moving!

Realize what is REALLY important in Life and you will Learn to overcome your "tests" in Life.

Help others and You will also help yourself.

Good Vibes - The Real Confidence Booster - notes

I'm gonna try to keep this short because I want to post other notes to help you just in case you decide to go out partying this weekend...

-----------------------------------------------

Macy Gray - Beauty In The World



Video provided by - MacyGrayVEVO

----------------------------------------------


In one of the previous posts (How To Improve (or Boost) Confidence - Tactics and Techniques - notes) I suggested that you should want to tap into your psyche and realize any activity, situation, object, or idea that might help you boost your confidence and to use it as a catalyst or a vehicle to ignite AND maintain your confidence in social situations.

If money gives you swagger, stack some cash.

If you feel better when your hair and nails are done, go to the beauty shop and tell them to fix you up.

If having a nice car makes you feel better about yourself, focus on treating yourself to that.

But, what if you're broke (poor) and can't afford to get your hair and nails done? Or, you can't afford the payments on a hot car???

What do you look to or WHERE do you look for confidence then?

One way is through achievement of your goals.

Think about it...

When you accomplish ANY goal, no matter how large or small, you feel better when you've gotten the thing taken care of and done with. You feel better because you don't have to worry, stress, or attend to it any more.

You might even feel proud about it and tell people all you had to go through to get the goal accomplished.

But, you really feel good because you now move on with your life and work on something new or chill. And, you have more time to do other things than to mess with THAT goal anymore. You're Free from what EVER it was you HAD to do.

Who likes running errands?

Who likes doing home repairs?

Who likes going waiting in lines?

Nobody!

But, once you get those chores done and out of the way, you feel a heck of a lot better because you feel free!

Your wife (or husband) is happy. You don't have to fight traffic or waste your time stopping by the store when you could be spending valuable time working on your golf swing.

You now have your life back and you can relax and do whatever you like because you don't have to plan or work and re-work your schedule to attend to those goals.

Imagine that feeling for a moment...

Being free.

You don't owe anyone anything.

You're not obligated to anyone to do anything.

There's no place you have to be at a certain time.

No deadlines.

You can go wherever you want to go and come and go as you please.

No questions asked.

Imagine having that much freedom when you go out and socialize...

You can stay as long as you like and have as much fun as you want to have.

Now, let's dig a little bit deeper.

Let's imagine that you don't owe anyone anything.

You're not obligated to anyone for anything.

You don't need anything from anyone.

You don't have to impress anyone.

Again, you're free.

Your only goals are to follow your own rules, do what you like, and to have a good time.

You can strike up a conversation with whomever you want and talk about whatever you like.

The idea is to be free and to enjoy life.

It's all about having a good time no matter what material possessions you have or don't have.

It's all about having fun and enjoying life no matter how you look or how much money you've got.

People criticize and judge, but everybody is not judging You.

And, if they are, so what? Who cares???

You're your own Man or Woman.

You know what you want and you that eventually you will get it. And, deep down, you know HOW to get it. Nothing can stop you except You. And, because you know what you're about; and you know your heart, and what you have to offer to the World; Now is the time to relax, let your hair down, and have fun.

Keep that in mind.

Live Free and Enjoy Your Life.
