Help to make your dreams come true

I attribute my positive beliefs and their sustenance to all my life experiences. Hundreds of people, numerous articles, and scores of hours of listening to music. The positive state requires constant, proactive inputs, and mindfulness. The teachings of J. Krishnamurti and my interactions with drug addicts in recovery were some of the initiators. Krishnamurti's concept of getting rid of psychological time and being in a state of observing made it easier for me to become less reactive. In the earlier years of our drug prevention campaign, lots of time and energy were wasted in trying to get the enforcement agencies and the government to act, and to engage the media to write about the perils of addiction. Deliberations on the role of the government, corrupt politicians, media and even mafia dons were routine. But these deliberations didn't change much on the ground. Gang affiliations become a means of belonging for troubled teens who haven't learned to fit in with peers who respect the rules and value their teachers. Aren't gaps in emotional development as important to fill as gaps in learning colors, numbers, and the ABCs? When teachers are able to recognize and apologize when they have lost their cool, been unfair, shaming, harsh, reactive, or done anything else that causes a breach of trust in the teacher-student relationship, they are well on their way to showing students how to walk the high road. The next step is to find a way, together, to make it right. This leads to a compassionate reconciliation process of healthy discipline, rather than an authoritarian and putative system, which reinforces defensive survival adaptations in the deepest structures of the reptilian brain, thereby fortifying further maladaptation at school. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) Before moving on to the topic of developing a healthy, flexible, and resilient autonomic nervous system, it's important to discuss RAD, the most intransigent type of attachment disorder. RAD is the result of a failure of the environment (family, orphanage, neighborhood, country, etc) to protect a child. It typically results from neglect and abuse so frequent and severe that the child has been removed from the home by child protective services due to life endangerment. It can also be from negligent orphanages, war, migration, and other abrupt and devastating separations during the earliest formative years. Huge Imagination

Consistent fantasies about unlimited abilities, most of the time, these images seem so real to them; They really believe that they are special and can make important changes in the world and save people the way no one else is able to. This is why so many corporations are so successful because of individuals like this. They can take their minds to places that most people are not able to access. This is mainly because they will stop themselves from imagining certain things. Their brain will tell them that certain things are just not possible, so they will never revisit those thoughts. An empathetic individual will consistently allow their minds to travel all over the place and they will find understanding and comfort in those places as well. Their Own Way They are not followers; Choosing happiness is not being ignorant of your problems. It is recognizing that you do have them, but instead of wallowing in them, you are going to look ahead. If you want to change the way you think, you must understand the concept of something known as mindset mastery. There are several aspects to mindset mastery. One of the most commonly mentioned and most significant ones is the development of a winning mindset. Winners believe they can overcome whatever obstacles they need to so that they can reach their goals. Those who tell themselves they are losers and could never accomplish anything are setting themselves up for failure. To have a winning mindset, you need to have a healthy level of self-esteem. It is not a sign of arrogance to think you are highly qualified in a subject if it is the case. It means you know the areas you shine in and use them to succeed. Chris didn't vote.

Nathan voted for a write-in candidate. Jared declined to share who he voted for. In the aftermath of the election, we were all in shock. Despite our varied positions, I think everyone expected Clinton to win. I couldn't handle it. Something in my head broke. The conversation picked back up, analyzing what had happened from different perspectives, predicting the future, etc But I simply posted, I'm devastated. I'm ashamed to even be a US citizen. Hatred has won and our country is going to become worse for so many people. I realized that I was thinking way too hard about this when I grow up question. My purpose was so simple! I have this need to inspire and impact people to live. Whether it's to inspire you to quit your job and move to New York, or finally head back to get your master's degree, or maybe it's just as simple as going to your first Broadway play--my job is to stimulate you to make a change in your life to live! Lastly, there is faith. It only takes a mustard seed of it, right? As a not-so-faithful Baptist church-goer, I do remember reading the Bible, which mentions faith a lot. As a little girl, I had no clue of what that scripture meant or what a mustard seed was. When I realized my mom was going to die, I remember asking my social media family for their prayers. I thought that if everyone who was on social media (which is everyone in the world) prayed for my mom, then she'd be cured of cancer. Smaller issues may affect a relationship, and the reader is encouraged to keep this in mind throughout the article.

A brief description of each article follows. Forgiveness is a process, and some of the issues involved in working through the forgiveness journey are highlighted. Descriptions of interpersonal and intrapersonal forgiveness are featured. Some of our ideas about forgiveness come from long-held beliefs and practices stemming from our background, such as our ethnicity and race, religion, and personal and family values. These and other various facets of culture are explored in article 2, Forgiveness and Culture: Beliefs and Conflicts. We examine the impact that culture can have on our beliefs about forgiveness and conflict and the decision to move forward in interpersonal or intrapersonal forgiveness. The Forgiveness Reconciliation Model (FRM) is a primary component of this article and is introduced in article 3, The Forgiveness Reconciliation Model: An Overview. The FRM was initially developed from a Jewish conceptualization of forgiveness but is considered a transcultural model, having broad applications across various cultures and secular beliefs and practices. The FRM is compared and contrasted with other forgiveness models. Whatever we put intense feelings behind manifests quickly in our reality. If you can match the feelings or the mood that you held during any past situation, you will produce the same outcome, guaranteed. How to Be Your Best And Expect The best You get what you expect in life. Expect great things in life. Live your best life. - Lailah Gifty Akita The average human lifespan is 84 years (that's being generous), so why would you settle for anything that is less than best? I mean the best of EVERYTHING! Most people don't want to have the best because they feel it's too expensive and they can't afford it. For example, if you're buying a blender, and they have two versions, the Blender S1 or the Blender S1 Deluxe, get the Blender S1 Deluxe! I felt more fulfilled when I was working directly with addicts and their families.

The recovery of one addict would create a ripple effect that touched the lives of hundreds of other people connected to her and her family. My inferences from Krishnamurti's teachings helped me find a solution to this mindfuck. I substituted `responsibility' with `response-ability', or the ability to respond to any situation, no matter who was responsible for it. I fully understood and accepted what I could do and what I couldn't. Since then I have devoted my life to the cause of drug prevention and run a modest rehabilitation centre, reaching out to thirty addicts at a time. I focus on the lives of people that I can reach out to, which doesn't even constitute a small fraction of the total number. Yet, I feel at peace. Every single life that turns around is very significant in my reality. Our prevention campaigns cannot quantify the number of school and college children who will not experiment with drugs. Therapists and social workers involved in cases displaying RAD need very specialized training. Because of chronic early life-threatening circumstances, the development and behavior of RAD children are shaped only by the need to survive. This adaptation continues long after they are placed in safe, nurturing homes. Often the manipulation, lying, and destructive behavior displayed by these severely traumatized children are beyond the skill and capacity of even the most committed foster parents. It takes an unusual amount of structure, consistency, patience, love, and playfulness--sometimes for many years--before children diagnosed with RAD can trust enough to let go of very deeply etched cunning behavior patterns and begin to form the bonds of attachment with their new parents. Due to the limitations of the scope of this article, I refer you to the enlightening work of Dr Daniel A. Hughes, author of Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awaking Love in Deeply Troubled Children. As in the African proverb It takes a village to raise a child, this entails the community of interacting adults in that child's life taking responsibility for their protection. It really does take neighborhood and school community to cooperatively support health and social-emotional growth to keep everyone safe. It is heartening that there are increasingly more private and public preschools and Head Start programs now incorporating this type of training to optimize the quality of teacher/aide-child relationships. They are very mindful of their decision to behave this way;
